Page caused quite the stir with his portrayal of Simon Basset, the brooding Duke of Hastings. While Dynevor stole fans' hearts as the delightful Daphne Bridgerton.
Speaking about the show, Dynevor said she was drawn to the script when she realized it would be a Shondaland production, tellingAccessthat she knew that there would be strong female characters.
“I knew that the women were gonna have real agency,” she said. “They were not gonna be, you know, timid women… so that was the thing that really excited me.”
Netflix has yet to confirm a second go-round; however,Production Weekly, reports that filming for a project titled “Bridgerton 02” will begin filming in Uxbridge, England in March 2021, suggesting a follow-up season is in the works.
