Bridgerton is returning to Netflix next month, and the streaming service has now released a thrilling new trailer ahead of its premiere, giving fans an insight into what's in store in the second instalment of the popular Regency-era drama.
After hitting the streaming service in Christmas 2020, Bridgerton has gone on to be one of Netflix's most-watched shows, heralding another triumph for Shonda Rhimes.
The series was viewed by a record 82 million households in 28 days – a record for a Netflix original series – and the new season 2 trailer promises to continue where season one left off, teasing a steamy, romantic, stylish drama with plenty of intrigue and dynamic plot points.
Season 2 looks set to follow the romantic journey of Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and his desire to uphold the prestigious family name by finding a suitable wife.
Lord Bridgerton's standards are high, but will his intentions be noble when he eyes newcomer Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran)? Edwina and her sister Kate (Simone Ashley) have newly arrived from India, but when Anthony begins to court Edwina, it's not long before Kate begins to doubts his motives.
As Kate sets out to do everything in her power to stop the union, her verbal sparring matches with Anthony only bring them closer together – and end up complicating everything.
The new teaser also gave audiences a look at Lady Whistledown in action too, with a quick look at Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) writing her latest scathing update...
Fans of another Netflix hit, Sex Education, will recognise Simone Ashley from her role as Olivia Hanan, one of the school's 'Untouchables' who have a higher social status due to their wealthy parents.
The first season of the Netflix hit explored the romance between the Bridgertons' fourth child Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and the Duke of Hastings, Simon Bassett (Regé-Jean Page).
With The Duke's one-season arc over, his mentor and confidant Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) will have to turn her sights on new ventures and more challenges in season 2.
Throw into the mix the sharp-tongued gossip Lady Whistledown (narrated by Julie Andrews), who skillfully plays the social puppet master, and it looks like another exciting, gossip-laden and romantic is in store for Bridgerton fans.
Bridgerton season 1 is now available to watch on Netflix. Season 2 will premiere on March 25. Secret Cinema with Fever Present Bridgerton opens in February 2022 in a secret outer London location. To purchase tickets, head here.
