The show is based on Julia Quinn's eight-part novel series, with the storyline from the first season adapted from 'The Duke and I'.

The first series of the Netflix show saw Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor) find love as her life is discussed in the high society scandal papers by Lady Whistledown.

Will Rege-Jean Page return to the show?

Sadly, Rege-Jean will not be returning for the second season of Bridgerton.

According to the actor, it was always the plan for the Duke of Hastings to feature only in the first season.

He told Variety: "It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end — give us a year.’

He also added that he enjoyed his part on the show as 'it felt like a limited series.’

What will happen in season two?

In Julia Quinn's second novel The Viscount Who Loved Me, Anthony becomes Viscount Bridgerton after his father dies from a bee sting.

It has been confirmed that the show will continue to follow the novels and season two will focus on Anthony's quest for love as he meets his match in Kate Sharma.

Each of the eight novels follows a character's journey to finding love and it can be presumed that future seasons will see other Bridgerton characters search for their true match.

The official trailer for Bridgerton season two was released today (February 14) and it is embedded in this article.

Will there be more seasons of Bridgerton?
