Shonda Rhimes, who is an executive producer of the series under her Shondaland banner, teased what would come in Season 2 after it was revealed that Simon Basset (Rege-Jean Page), the Duke of Hastings, would not be returning for the upcoming season.
Rhimes offered a brief forecast about the central couple in an interview with Variety, saying: “I think there’s a powerful, interesting, romantic couple at the heart of it. They’re an incredibly interesting and exciting pair. I like to watch them.”
She added, “Our goal, if we do our job correctly, is you are going to be as invested and excited by that couple as you were by the couple of Season 1.”
‘Bridgerton’ is executive produced by Rhimes, Betsy Beers, and Chris Van Dusen. Van Dusen also serves as the creator.
