About this deal

Golda Rousheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton, spoke about the upcoming sequel at the BAFTAs, telling Tom Allen: "It will be interesting to delve in and see some backstory. He suddenly decides toward the very end that he "loves" his nanny/prostitute---I mean, "wife"---seemingly out of nowhere and purely because it's an unwritten rule that both people have to say they're in love before the book is over.

It remains to be seen whether Marina Thompson (Ruby Barker) reemerges in the story, having married her dead lover's brother so that her unborn child could be born in wedlock.

As the blurb for Julia Quinn's second Bridgerton novel tells us, "Anthony Bridgerton hasn’t just decided to marry – he’s even chosen a wife! Perhaps, we can expect it sooner rather than later given that Nicola Coughlan confirmed on Instagram in November that the cast had a special viewing of the premiere episode. Eloise shows up at his doorstep purely because she's suddenly desperate to have some guy---any guy---in her life.

and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match.

Fans of the book will know that Marina Thompson is an important figure in Eloise's story, even if we don't ever actually meet her in the novels. Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. A serious hero who's more into studying science than flitting from one ballroom and gambling hall to the other? The fifth novel in the beloved Regency-set world of Julia Quinn's charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a major Netflix series. And he certainly should have mentioned that he had two young - and decidedly unruly - children, as much in need of a mother as Phillip is in need of a wife.

In fact, her own child, who clearly inherited the heart and sensitivity of her father, wishes her mom had just killed herself sooner if she couldn't cheer the heck up.While Van Dusen will continue at the helm of season two, he'll be handing over showrunning duties to Jess Brownell – who's worked on Shondaland productions Scandal and Inventing Anna – for seasons three and four, according to Deadline. She wasn't pretty enough to overcome her lack of dowry, and she'd never learned to simper and mince and walk delicately, and do all those things other girls seemed to know how to do in the cradle. We should soon find out more about the heir to the Featherington estate, after the untimely death of Lord Featherington (Ben Miller). While the Bridgerton clan is largely absent from this tale, their presence is always felt, as Eloise discovers anew the import and gift that is her familial legacy as she scripts her life story.

In the novel The Viscount Who Loved Me, Kate Sheffield is almost 21 and only just making her debut on the marriage market, alongside her younger half-sister Edwina (17 years old) – because the Sheffields, who come from out of town, can only afford to properly do the "season" once. Peruse the Bridgerton-on-Netflix hub: where the books and the show come together (trailers, show photos, news, and more). While she couldn't give any more details about the project, she added that the show would spotlight some of the UK's historical estates: "I think we're got somer really amazing houses here and beautiful grounds and manor houses and palaces, and they are definitely being celebrated. As the years since her debut passed, she became increasingly acclimated to the idea of the single life, especially with her best friend and confidante, Penelope at her side.And I loved that even in romantic, escapist fiction of this ilk, Eloise has to come to terms with the consequences of her choices. This book is about Benedict Bridgerton, and it's a bit of a Cinderella story with the bewitching Sophie Beckett, an earl's daughter relegated to the role of a servant by her stepmother.
