Bridgerton Season 2: Every Character Who Didn't Return (& Where They Are)
Bridgerton season 2 returned and was filled with new love stories, classical takes on modern songs, and yearning stares, but some familiar faces weren’t around – here is every season 1 character that didn’t return and where they are now. The Regency Era drama is produced by Shonda Rhimes and based on the romance books by Julia Quinn. With nine books in the series and renewal for Bridgerton seasons 3 and 4 already in place, audiences should plan on spending time with the ton for a while. Rhimes has confirmed in previous interviews that eight seasons are already planned, saying, “There are eight Bridgerton siblings, and as far as I’m concerned, there are eight Bridgerton seasons. And maybe more.”
Bridgerton season 1 captivated audiences as the story centered on the romance between Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page).

Returning to the ton includes the Bridgerton siblings reprising their roles, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), and Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh). Newcomers include Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), and Mary Sharma (Shelley Conn).
