‘Bridgerton’ return date revealed: When does Season 2 premiere?
Netflix has announced when the new season of Bridgerton will begin.
Based on the bestselling novels by Julia Quinn, Netflix’s period drama romance premiered exactly a year ago on Christmas Day 2020.
Bridgerton received positive reviews from critics and shot straight to the top of the most-viewed chart on Netflix.
Having become one of the streaming service’s biggest shows ever, it was quickly renewed for another season earlier this year.
Filming on Season 2 kicked off this summer in England.
Despite a few inevitable Covid-related setbacks, Bridgerton creator Chris Van Dusen confirmed last month that production on the new episodes was finished!
Bridgerton follows eight close-knit siblings as they look for love and happiness in Regency London high society in early 1800s England.
The second season will focus on the efforts of Anthony Bridgerton, played Jonathan Bailey (Broadchurch), to find himself a wife.
