‘Bridgerton’: Everything You Need to Know About Shonda Rhimes’ First Netflix Show
[Editor’s Note: Mild spoilers follow for the Bridgerton series of novels, although it is spoiler-free for the Netflix series. This post was first published on October 23, 2019.]
Update, January 21: If you’ve already binge-watched the goings-on of the Bridgerton clan and need more, then help is on the way. Netflix announced that the popular romantic melodrama will receive a second season. Lord Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey, will “dominate the social season.”
The renewal isn’t surprising, considering the smash success of the series, which is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes and spearheaded by Chris Van Dusen. The series, adapted from the series of novels written by Julia Quinn, tells the story of the Bridgerton family; the first season focuses on eldest daughter Daphne’s (Phoebe Dynevor) relationship with Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings (Rege-Jean Page).
In an interview earlier this week with IndieWire, Quinn said that she was surprised when she got that call that Rhimes optioned her series, because the romance genre is so often overlooked.
