Bridgerton season 2 is back underway

According to the reports by Variety, after facing two sudden halts due to the pandemic, Bridgerton season 2 has finally resumed its production. Showrunner, Chris Van Dusen confirmed the news recently by stating, “We are back under way. We had to delay because of COVID, but we’re back in it". “Right now I’m in post, editing our first couple episodes, which are looking great“, he added. 

The filming of the show got shut down when a second COVID-19 case was confirmed on the sets. The show was also one of the numerous projects being filmed in the UK whose cast and crew were affected by the virus. Bridgerton season 2 will focus on the family’s eldest son Anthony Bridgerton (essayed by Jonathan Bailey) and his search to find a partner.

While dropping hints about the plot of the series, showrunner Chris stated, “We pick up Anthony after we’ve seen what he’s been through with his mistress. He’s thinking, ‘Was that love?’ Some would call it that, others would not. We’re exploring those concepts of duty and honor once again".

As the makers of the show have been under pressure to live up to fans’ expectations, Van Dusen revealed, “There’s always been a pressure with this show from the beginning, being inspired by these beloved novels with fans who are so passionate and feel so strongly about these characters and these stories. There’s always been a healthy pressure there, I welcome it and I say keep the pressure on. It worked for the first season, and I hope people love this season and beyond as much as they did the first".
