'Bridgerton' Season 2 will see Rupert Evans essay the role of the patriarch, Edmund

A bee on a ledge, the final picture in Bridgerton's debut season, promised a Season 2 plotline featuring Edmund Bridgerton. In Shondaland's enormously successful Regency-era Netflix series, Rupert Evans has been confirmed as the Bridgerton children's late father. Edmund Evans is a loyal and caring husband whose real love connection with Violet Bridgerton resulted in the birth of eight beautiful kids. He's obviously a kind and loving father who takes particular satisfaction in helping his eldest child Anthony through life. Season 2 of Bridgerton, which is now in production in London, follows Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) on his journey for love, as told in Julia Quinn's second book of the Bridgerton series called, The Viscount Who Loved Me.

Edmund's demise at the age of 38 following an allergic response to a bee bite had a tremendous effect on his oldest son, Anthony, who was forced to take up the viscounty at the young age of 18. If Edmund is introduced on Bridgerton, the program may also incorporate a younger, Violet, a character who will be developed further in the forthcoming Young Queen Charlotte mini-series. Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma), Charithra Chandran (Edwina Sharma), Rupert Young (Jack), Shelley Conn (Mary Sharma), and Calam Lynch (Theo Sharpe) are among the significant new faces in the Bridgerton Season 2 cast. 

Bridgerton is a passionate, luxurious, and cutthroat world situated in Regency London elite society developed by Chris Van Dusen modelled on Quinn's blockbuster series of romantic fiction and executive produced by Van Dusen, Shonda Rhimes, and Betsy Beers. The aristocratic Bridgerton family is at the centre of the show. This humorous, witty, adventurous, and brilliant bunch of siblings must negotiate the upper ten thousand's marriage marketplace in pursuit of romance, excitement, and love.

Evans is a recurring character on the CW's Charmed and will appear as a visiting actor on Bridgerton for one episode. The Man in the High Castle is another of his serial credits. There is much hype surrounding the show that captured the hearts of the audience in the first season. People are eager to see how things progress in Bridgerton Season 2 with the plot taking a different turn.
