Bridgertonfans, Lady Whistledown cordially invites you to prepare for the arrival of the wildly popular show’s upcoming second season.
“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,” the description continues. “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.”
Netflix released the first teaser trailer on Monday, in which Lady Whistledown (a.k.a. Penelope Featherington) announces her plans to shake up London’s social scene once again.
The brief clip shows how the ton prepares for the new social season. All the while, audiences get a brief introduction to the Sharma sisters as well, both of whom will find themselves in a twisted love triangle with Anthony.

There are also going to be a lot of brilliant characters introduced in this series — and it’s not just Anthony that we’re going to delve into.”
