00:00Bridgerton was the biggest show on Netflix after its release, and fans couldn't get enough of our new favorite breakout stars, Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page.
00:10And just a month after its release, fans went crazy with excitement when Netflix announced that Bridgerton was renewed for a season 2.
00:17However, Netflix recently broke the hearts of many fans by announcing that the Duke of Hastings, played by Regé-Jean Page, will not be back for season 2.
00:27That's right, you heard it right, he will not be back for season 2, and fans are extremely shocked and upset about this news.
00:34The sad news was posted on Old Bridgerton's social media by a notice from Lady Whistledown that said,
00:40Dearest readers, while all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton's quest to find a Viscountess, we bid adieu to Regé-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings.
00:51We'll miss Simon's presence on screen, but he will always be a part of the Bridgerton family.
00:56Daphne will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer.
01:03More intrigue and romance than my readers may be able to bear. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown.
01:09Regé-Jean Page has said that,
01:11It's a one season arc. It's going to have a beginning, middle, end. Give us a year.
01:16He thought,
01:17That's interesting, because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit, and then the Bridgerton family rolls on.
01:25I have nothing but excitement for Bridgerton, continuing to steam train off and conquer the globe.
01:30But there is also value in completing these arcs and sticking the landing.
01:34In fact, the short-term commitment is actually what appealed him to do the project in the first place.
01:39The good news, of course, is that Daphne and the rest of the Bridgerton family will be the focus of Season 2, and we will see their characters and story develop.
01:48Netflix has also announced some new cast members for Season 2.
01:51Rupert Young will co-star as Jack, a novel from a family like the Bridgertons.
01:56Charitha Chandran will play Kate's sister, Edwina, a new love interest for Anthony.
02:01Season 2 is clearly in the works, and fans can't wait to see what happens next to the Bridgerton family.
02:06Until then, we can keep re-watching Season 1 just to see the Duke one last time.
