Netflix and Shondaland announced on Friday that star Regé-Jean Page
will not appear of Season 2.
"Pleasure and a privilege! An honour to be a member of the family - on and off screen, cast, crew and incredible fans - the love is real and will just keep growing." - Regé-Jean Page
What? Is this some sort of cruel late April Fool's prank our mischievous Lady Whistledown has engineered?
Needless to say, without the Duke there is simply no Bridgerton.
“Bridgerton” fans, the time has come to bid adieu to Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings.
No more Duke of Hastings? We’re officially heartbroken.
There better be a real good reason for Regé-Jean Page not coming back to Bridgerton! This news really ruined my morning!
I only watched because of him. He was integral to the whole series. So his wife should not appear...see I have forgotten her name.
Now I’m worried about Bridgerton...! I would definitely miss the poise & beauty of the Duke.
No more Netflix for me! This is just too much! Yes we know it is about Anthony but they could have weaved his fine self into the story somehow!
I mean the second season is entirely focused on a different character and romance so..
It's Anthony Bridgerton's time to shine. You just gotta deal with it.
Man, Bridgerton better start hiring hot people right away cuz those 5 whites boys with sideburns who all look the same aren’t gonna do it.
Not angry like most of the #Bridgerton fans...just a little upset...it was inevitable but... it happened so fast.
If you’ve read the books, you’d have known this. I’ve been expecting this to happen.
It makes perfect sense to me that Regé-Jean Page is leaving Bridgerton...to become one of the biggest stars on the planet in the next five years.
I was floored by his SNL appearance. He was flawless. He's so clearly a gigantic movie star! Let it happen. It just won’t be the same without the Duke!
We flew too close to the sun on this one... We chiseled a Black Duke De La Horny that was, in fact, too horny to last. Smh.
I get it, Rege Jean Page is leaving Bridgerton so he has have more time to prepare taking over the role of James Bond. I can’t wait for the official announcement.
Also the second book focuses on someone else, so.
Season 2 of Bridgerton's gonna be real confusing for those of us who are here for the eye candy and who can't tell the three white Bridgerton dudes apart.
The show is based off of a series of 8 books by Julia Quinn and each book focuses on 1 of the 8 Bridgerton siblings. The second book is about Anthony, Daphne’s brother.
For anyone not more familiar with #Bridgerton, each book has a different Bridgerton sibling as the central character. Book (and series) one was all about Daphne. Book two is Anthony. Book three is Benedict. I haven’t read beyond that. But trust me, there’s still fun to be had.
The book 2 of the #Bridgerton series is The Viscount Who Loved Me--Anthony's book. In the source material, Simon and Daphne barely made an appearance. It's Kate Sheffield's time to shine!
But not even a cameo or two in season 2?!! You can still be a big star in a little pond and contribute to something that thrust him into the spotlight and introduced us to his talent... just saying. I’m happy for him but I hope he stays humble.
Still sad, I'll miss his character in the coming stories. He's got fun parts in the coming books/seasons.
Rege-Jean recounts early conversations with Shondaland about his role on Bridgerton: “It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end – give us a year.”
"The audience knows the arc completes. ... You can tie people in emotional knots because they have that reassurance that we’re going to come out and we’re going to have the marriage and the baby.”
We've been bamboozled! The writers and casting knew that they could reel us into Bridgerton by having Regé-Jean Page just be fine AF on the screen. Now he's not gonna be in Season 2. What was the point of getting attached. We're upset!
Now that there’s so much negativity around Bridgerton, does that mean that they will have to start to give us all constant good news and amazing content to keep people excited?
Dearest Readers, to mark the sad occasion of Regé-Jean Page’s exit from #Bridgerton - I’m starting a thread honoring all of the men whose make-or-break charisma shipwrecked their respective shows. Kicking it off with Travis Fimmel from Vikings.
On the other hand, this isn’t the end!! the show still be there and we’ve plenty of characters to be entertained with.
As sad as I am that there’ll be no Simon in season two I’m still just holding out hope for best buds Colin/Kate in Pall Mall.
Wow, your post is really very useful thanks for sharing for rege jean page wife . It's really informative. keep sharing more with us.
