“Bridgerton”: four key facts you should know before watching season two

The announcement of a new installment of this series was quite a success. The overwhelming success of Bridgerton's first season worked as an excellent omen for what was to come. New installments, new love stories and of course, new characters that add to this plot of the family.

Gone were the romantic and romantic adventures of the Duke of Hastings and Daphne Bridgerton. Now there will be a new love story. Here are some details so that you arrive prepared for this new season of the series created by Chris Van Dusen through Shondaland.

Kate y Anthony

They'll be Bridgerton's new starring couple. On the one hand, it is Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). It will be a love that arises almost without either of you proposing to it. The Sharma family arrives in England from India exclusively for the clan's youngest daughter, Edwina (Charithra Chandran), to get a husband. Meanwhile, Anthony is now of marriageable age and must look for a wife who meets the requirements required for a perfect companion. But what happens when the heart goes on different rails than the established rules?

A period scenery that falls in love

Undoubtedly, the costumes, hairstyles and period scenery stole the entire show in the first season of the series. And from what is shown in the images and previews, it seems that it will be the same in this new part of this drama that is combined with humor.

Bridgerton was temporarily set in the regency period in the United Kingdom and dazzled since its first installment by its visual quality that became a registered trademark. The grand ballrooms of Mayfair and the aristocratic palaces of Park Lane will continue to be the setting for many of the scenes of the second season. In an interview with Infobae, Shonda Rhimes, showrunner of the show, said: “This season we added a couple of special, surprising things that I think fans will love. But everything is in the glamor of the dances, the beauty of the locations, the makeup and the spectacular hairstyles - everything that the audience expects from the series. The design, the costumes: everything is still there.”

High society gossip

At the end of the first season we met the face of Lady Whistledown, that mysterious lady who spreads all kinds of rumors of high society using a pseudonym. SPOILER ATTENTION: it is precisely the character of Penelope Featherington who was behind this mysterious mission and that, of course, we will enjoy again with the consent of her friend Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie).

Triángulo amoroso

The love that would seem to be simple between Kate and Anthony will be affected by Kate's sister: Edwina. The young woman, who is in the midst of getting a husband and getting married, is prompted precisely by Kate to approach Anthony and vice versa. Of course, Kate doesn't quite internally acknowledge that she fell in love with the Bridgerton boy. “A surprising love triangle between them and Edwina, who is a wonderfully intelligent and complex woman on her own merit.” This is how Shonda Rhimes defined this second season, which will be marked by these three characters.

Before the release of the new batch of chapters, Infobae was able to talk to its creator, Shonda Rhimes, about the challenges of this second season, the adaptation of such a popular novel and the twists designed for the future. In addition, he focused on how he decides to connect and interpret a story so that it is close to the spectators.

The new season of Bridgerton premieres today, Friday 25 March, on Netflix.
