BRIDGERTON. “The Bridgerton Chronicle” season 2 goes live this Friday on Netflix. Time, cast, absence of Regé-Jean Page… All the info.
[Mis à jour le 25 mars 2022 à 7h00] Netflix’s romantic event series makes its big comeback this Friday. The Bridgerton Chronicle season 2 goes live on the streaming platform this Friday, March 25, 2022. Like all other original productions on the platform, fans only have to wait until 9:01 a.m. to discover the new episodes, which feature the romance between Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma.
This season 2 of Bridgerton differs from the previous one by the drastic reduction of the sex scenes, which had caused a lot of talk during the broadcast of season 1. If Regé-Jean Page will not be back in the cast in the role of the Duke of Hastings, fans Bridgertons will be able to find the rest of the main cast in this season 2. New actors are also arriving: this is the case of Simone Ashley (Sex Education) who plays Kate Sharma, the young woman with whom Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) will fall in love. Charithra Chandran lends her features to Edwina, Kate’s sister.
The first season of The Bridgerton Chronicle is released on Netflix in December 2020. Fans of the series had to wait more than a year to discover the sequel: season 2 is released on the platform of streaming the 25 March 2022.
In previous episodes, Daphne Bridgerton had found love in the arms of Simon, the Duke of Hastings. After breaking up with opera singer Siena, the eldest of the Bridgertons, Anthony, also decides to get married, but not necessarily for love! Finally, the end of the first season revealed that Penelope Featherington was hiding behind Lady Whistledown, this mysterious character who revealed the secrets of each other.
Separately, Marina Thompson marries Sir Philip after the truth about her pregnancy comes to light. Colin Bridgerton, who was under the spell of the young woman, is devastated. The latter goes on a world tour after Penelope reveals her feelings for him. Lord Featherington has been killed and his fortune will go to a man whose identity we do not yet know. But his name does not seem to please Lady Portia.
Regé-Jean Page achieved worldwide success by interpreting Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, in The Bridgerton Chronicle. But the comedian announced in April 2021 that he will not appear in the sequel to the series. It should therefore be absent from season 2, devoted to the romance between Anthony and Kate. To justify his departure, Regé-Jean Page spoke to Variety about his discussion with the production before season 1, which had told him that each season was independent and had a specific plot: “I said to myself, ‘It’s interesting’ , because it felt like a limited series. I can participate, I can contribute, and then the Bridgerton family moves on.” However, the actor is not replaced in the role of Simon during this season 2. His wife, Daphne, appears well in this salvo of 8 new episodes, and the Duke of Hastings is indeed mentioned a few times. .
Season 2 of The Bridgerton Chronicle is to be discovered this Friday, March 25, 2022 on Netflix. But from what time can we start binge-watching the romance between Anthony and Kate? Like all the original productions of the streaming platform, it is from 9:01 a.m. that the new burst of episodes will be put online in France.
