“It’s a big show,” he explained. “There’s a lot of characters and part of the challenge in writing a series like this is knowing when to pop in on certain characters and [when to] pop out. And just writing the scripts with my writers room, we always have long discussions about the flow of an episode, and when are we with our main love story? When are we with Anthony and Kate? When are we Kate and Edwina? When are we opening up the world outside of Mayfair with Will Mondrich and Queen Charlotte, and also, the other Bridgertons.”
Second sister Eloise (Claudia Jessie) is primed to follow in Daphne’s (Phoebe Dynevor) footsteps and make her ton debut, which fans know will be a challenge given her character.
“Eloise – this is her first official season out, and to say that she doesn’t like it would be the understatement of the century, I think,” Chris said. “She has no interest in any of this stuff.”
“She has really big shoes to fill this season being Daphne’s younger sister,” he continued. “The expectations on her are that much higher. People are looking at her as Daphne’s younger sister. So it’s been fascinating to watch Eloise come to terms with that.”
Season 2 also finds Colin (Luke Newton) on the heels of his failed romance with Featherington cousin Marina Thompson, with the hopes that he’ll return to London and be able to leave the past behind.
“Colin, last season, left to go on this big grand tour, and now he’s come back a changed man. Or so he likes everyone to think. And he’s still reeling from what went down with Marina Thompson last season and I think this year is very much about him coming back to prove himself and to prove that he’s not, you know, a young, clueless, aimless, young man,” Chris noted.
Meanwhile, second son Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) will find his story entwined with Bridgerton heir, Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), who is looking to find the perfect woman to be his Viscountess.
“I love the Anthony/Benedict relationship, this brotherly bond these two have. It’s so funny and and Luke Thompson does such an amazing job with that aspect,” Chris said. “And with Benedict, I was always interested in opening up this world and expanding the world from the books and I wanted to see what happened outside of Mayfair and outside … of Grosvenor Square. And Benedict is still up to some really interesting things outside of this world. He’s involved in a whole other subset of a whole other world.”
He went on to discuss the inclusion of Rupert Evans as Edmund Bridgerton, sharing that having the late patriarch on the show would help flesh out Anthony’s story.
“I think the story of Anthony and his father Edmund, I think that, that history and that story is essential to Anthony’s story in the present. One of the themes we’re looking at this season is grief and Anthony was exceptionally close to his father,” the EP said. “And I think his grief over his dad’s death is something we’re exploring in great detail. Not just for him, but for the entire Bridgerton family — for all those Bridgertons. And I think it’s very illuminating and really emotionally satisfying for a character like Anthony because you really come to understand why he’s done what he’s done in the past, why he’s acted in certain ways and also why he’s doing what he’s doing right now.”
Season 2 of Bridgerton will premiere on Netflix on March 25. See the trailer here!
