The return of critically-acclaimed Netflix original series Bridgerton is right around the corner and, judging by this latest trailer, it looks as though Shondaland has been working hard on making it just as thrilling a watch as its debut season.
This time, the story will centre around Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and his search for love. Torn between choosing a suitor with his head, or his heart, the pressure is on to fulfil a family duty.
So, when the stunning Sharma sisters arrive from India, Edwina (Charithra Chandran) appears to be the perfect match. Her protective sister Kate (Simone Ashley) has other ideas, however. Having worked out that Anthony is interested only in moving forward in life, whether or not he falls in love, she does everything in her power to ensure her sister doesn’t fall into the trap of a loveless marriage.
In doing so, both she and Anthony begin to realise they may be a spark - and potentially even more - between themselves. In a world where gossip runs rampant, exactly how they’ll navigate this dangerous love triangle remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, across Grosvenor Square, the Featheringtons are welcoming in the latest heir to their estate, while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) continues to deny those closest to her the truth behind her deepest secret.
Adjoa Andoh, Lorraine Ashbourne, Harriet Cains, Bessie Carter, Shelley Conn, Phoebe Dynevor, Ruth Gemmell, Florence Hunt, Martins Imhangbe, Claudia Jessie, Calam Lynch, Luke Newton, Golda Rosheuvel, Luke Thompson, Will Tilston, Polly Walker and Rupert Young all also star, with Julie Andrews returning as the voice of Lady Whistledown.
Whilst the lack of Regé-Jean Page meant that fans of Bridgerton’s first season were disappointed, it looks as though despite the actor being missing from action, Season 2 will be packed with enough drama and tension to ensure a worthwhile watch.
Bailey has already proven himself to be a tremendous force within the Bridgerton universe, and after watching this trailer, I’m excited to see just how Ashley weaves her way into the narrative as Kate. She’s an independent woman and a loyal sister, so seeing how she balances her morals with her feelings for Anthony is going to be perhaps the most interesting aspect of the upcoming episodes.
Bridgerton Season 2 debuts on Netflix on March 25th, 2022.
