Bridgerton Season 2 recently debuted on Netflix, continuing the romantic exploits and adventures of the affluent British family. Series creator Chris Van Dusen previously spoke about the news season during a Today interview, saying at the time, "We are going to be starting filming later this spring in London, and we're all so excited." He then added how he knew the "cast cannot wait to get back to it, and neither can I." 

Van Dusen followed up by sharing share some details about Season 2, revealing how it would revolve more around Jonathan Bailey's character, Anthony Bridgerton. "We left him at the end of the season at a bit of a crossroads so I'm looking forward to jumping in and discovering how he fares on the marriage market," he explained, then quipping that he knows what is going to happen because he's the one who has been writing it. "I know where we're going, I know we have a bunch of new characters we're going to be introducing," Van Dusen said. "Anthony is going to have a love interest next season and it's going to be as sweeping and moving, and as beautiful that viewers of the first season have come to expect from the show." 

Subsequently, Bailey commented on what fans can look forward to in Bridgerton Season 3, telling EW, "They can just expect a lot from everyone. It was such an amazing introduction to the world via Daphne and Simon. But there [are] so many brilliant characters that have got so much going on, so my tease would be to enjoy your year and don't get comfy and thinking you know what's going to happen. We'll all be back for more romance, hopefully, next Christmas, maybe further away."
