Not even Netflix could have predicted just how popular Shonda Rhimes’ “Bridgerton” would become when it was released last year. Shortly after its debut, the period drama series shot up the popularity charts on the streaming service to become the most-watched show the platform had released. (Well, until “Squid Game” outdid it later in the year.) But now, we’ll have to see if “Bridgerton” has a sophomore slump with its new season arriving next month.

With Season 2 of “Bridgerton” arriving in March, Netflix has gone ahead and released a teaser for the new batch of episodes. The show changes things up slightly with Season 2, focusing now on the character of Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) as he is trying to find a suitable wife. This journey gets thrown for a loop with the arrival of new folks from India. Romance and hijinks ensue.
“Bridgerton” Season 2 stars Bailey alongside Simone Ashley, Charithra Chandran, Nicola Coughlan, and many more. Season 2 debuts on Netflix on March 25. You can watch the new teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
From Shondaland and Creator Chris Van Dusen, the second season of Bridgerton follows Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and Viscount, as he sets out to find a suitable wife. Driven by his duty to uphold the family name, Anthony’s search for a debutante who meets his impossible standards seems ill-fated until Kate (Simone Ashley) and her younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) Sharma arrive from India. When Anthony begins to court Edwina, Kate discovers the true nature of his intentions — a true love match is not high on his priority list — and decides to do everything in her power to stop the union. But in doing so, Kate and Anthony’s verbal sparring matches only bring them closer together, complicating matters on both sides. Across Grosvenor Square, the Featheringtons must welcome the newest heir to their estate while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) continues to navigate the ton whilst keeping her deepest secret from the people closest to her.
