Every thing you have to bear in mind from Season 1

It is nearly time for Bridgerton to comb again into our lives in all its glory, however a few of us might use a refresher on what occurred within the addictive Netflix drama that premiered in Dec. 2020.

Every Bridgerton novel by Julia Quinn focuses on a distinct sibling’s quest for love, however which means there’s an entire lot of recurring characters rotating out and in of the periphery (together with the youngest two Bridgertons, whom we’re not able to decide to reminiscence). To maintain issues easy, we’ll go by household, and we’re solely catching up with the Season 1 characters who play a major function in Season 2.

Here is the place everybody left off on Bridgerton.

The Bridgerton siblings

We final noticed the Bridgerton household gleefully welcoming eldest daughter Daphne’s (Phoebe Dynevor) son into the world. Now that she’s fortunately married to Duke Simon of Hastings and so they ignored their communication points and had a toddler, they’ll by no means have issues once more! Regé-Jean Web page will formally not be in Season 2, so in case you’re planning to look at only for a glimpse of his Hotness, you’re setting your self up for failure.

With Daphne settled, the main focus has shifted to Eloise’s debut (Claudia Jesse) and Anthony’s (Jonathan Bailey) stunning choice to discover a spouse after issues ended as soon as and for all with Siena (Sabrina Bartlett). Anthony is an emotionally unavailable playboy who doesn’t imagine in love, so everybody concerned on this courtship has their work reduce out for them.

Elsewhere, Benedict (Luke Thompson) grew more and more fascinated about artwork (to say nothing of the enticing males instructing him about it) and Colin (Luke Newton) determined to journey the world after having his coronary heart damaged by Marina (Ruby Barker). Count on Colin to lean absolutely into his new persona as Man Who Studied Overseas As soon as whereas Penelope grapples together with her ongoing emotions for him.

The Featheringtons

Season 1’s greatest Featherington revelation by far was that none aside from younger Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) was the one behind Girl Whistledown. She’s saved this a secret from everybody till now, however Eloise was decided to be taught Whistledown’s id, even accusing pretend French modiste Madam Delacroix (Kathryn Drysdale). If she needs to remain within the shadows, Girl Whistledown should get artistic.

The Featheringtons additionally discover themselves in a good spot with no funds to talk of and no man of the home to bail them out. Lord Featherington (Ben Miller) ostensibly died off-screen within the Season 1 finale…however did he? And even when he did, will his monetary mismanagement meet up with his spouse and daughters?

The crown & the city

A lot of the ton doesn’t matter in a present explicitly named after simply the one household, however a handful of Season 1’s key gamers are nonetheless within the combine.

Cressida Cowper (Jessica Madsen) got here near stealing the Duke from Daphne, and issues did not work out with the Prince so she’s nonetheless very a lot in play. The queen herself will get extra concerned this season (in all probability as a result of she’s getting a derivative), pouring herself into the social season to keep away from the fact of her husband’s deteriorating reminiscence.

BONUS: The Sharmas

Girl Danbury welcomes the Sharma household from India this season. Credit score: Netflix

You don’t really want a primer on Kate (Simone Ashley) and Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), aside from that they’re new to this scene, the speak of the city, and Ashley appears frankly out-of-this-world in teal Regency clothes. Every thing else might be defined when Season 2 premieres.

Bridgerton returns to Netflix March 25.
