Bridgerton, the Regency-era period series from Shondaland, was officially renewed for a second season, according to a press release from Netflix this week. The information came in the form of one Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, heavily featured in season one. We’ll let Lady Whistledown spill the tea:

It appears that season two will focus on the eldest Bridgerton male, Anthony, looking for marriage and love. As the gossip rag also says, season two looks to be shooting in the spring for six months, so hopefully we’ll get the newest episodes toward the year’s end. Fingers crossed.

From the official press release:

From Shondaland and Creator Chris Van Dusen, Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market. Hoping to follow in her parent’s footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne’s prospects initially seem to be unrivaled. But as her older brother begins to rule out her potential suitors, the high society scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews) casts aspersions on Daphne. Enter the highly desirable and rebellious Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), committed bachelor and the catch of the season for the debutantes’ mamas. Despite proclaiming that they want nothing the other has to offer, their attraction is undeniable and sparks fly as they find themselves engaged in an increasing battle of wits while navigating society’s expectations for their future.

Bridgerton is a romantic, scandalous, and quick-witted series that celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all.
