For "Bridgerton" fans, a disappointment is coming: Regé-Jean Page will not return for the second season as Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings.

Netflix and Shondaland, Shonda Rhimes' production house, have announced it.


"We will miss him, but he will always be part of Bridgerton's family '", said Lady Whistledown, the narrator of the series set in England in the first half of the nineteenth century which has become the most watched in this year. Netflix story.


That the Duke does not return in the resumption of the series should not be a surprise: the trajectory of Simon's character is developed in the first of Julia Queen's romance novels, "The Duke and I".

Page himself exclusively told "Variety" that the role had to "cover the span of a season" from the start, also because "Bridgerton" is essentially an anthology in which every book (and therefore every TV season) it is dedicated to a single love story.


The second season will focus on finding a suitable wife for Bridgerton's eldest brother, Anthony (Jonathan Bailey of "Broadchurch" and "Leonardo"), as recounted in Quinn's second book "The Viscount Who Loved Me".

The role of Kate Sharma, Anthony's beloved girl, went to Anglo-Indian actress Simone Ashley.
