Welcome Back to the Ton

Bridgerton finally returned for its second season last March. In keeping with the tradition of the novels, Season Two tells the xstory of Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s (played by Jonathan Bailey) quest for love—among the many other complicated yet captivating plot lines. This romantic, scandalous, and clever Netflix series celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all.

THE SEASON’S TRIO: ANTHONY BRIDGERTON, KATE SHARMA, AND EDWINA SHARMA

Bridgerton welcomes Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma) and Charithra Chandran (Edwina Sharma) to its newest season. This book series, authored by Julia Quinn and set in London’s Regency era, has enthralled many readers, including the cast themselves. The trio also shared the lessons that the audience can learn from their characters.

For Anthony Bridgerton, it was about looking inward and knowing for a fact that serving others can sometimes be an act of self-sabotage, which is why there is a need for balance. For the Sharma sisters, it was about putting love above all things. “With Edwina, self-love is arguably the most important kind of love. Especially when you’re a woman of color, your life can be determined by obligations and sacrifices, and it takes a lot of courage to step out and choose yourself,” says Chandran. Ashley also agrees to this, sharing that it’s about going all out to get the love you want and deserve, something her character Kate has always been afraid to do for herself.
