Bridgerton Season 2 Star Teases Steamy Penelope & Colin Scenes
Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan has teased details about the developing romance between her character Penelope and Colin (Luke Newton). Season 2 of the hit period drama is set to premiere on Netflix on March 25 with eight episodes. Bridgerton is produced by Shonda Rhimes, creator of long-running hits like Grey's Anatomy andthe recent Scandal, and the founder of the production company Shondaland.
Bridgerton, based on a series of novels by Julia Quinn, follows the titular Bridgerton family through London's social season in the competitive Regency Era, where debutantes are presented at court for arranged marriages.
