Plenty of fans reacted to the news underneath the post expressing their joy at the prospect of more Bridgerton content. One person wrote: "This reader is in tears, THANK YOU", while another said: "I'M PRETTY SURE Y'ALL CAN HEAR ME SCREAMING ALL THE WAY FROM LISBON."
The announcement comes soon after it was revealed that breakout star of the first season, Regé-Jean Page, decided to bow out of the series.
The actor, who played Simon, the Duke of Hastings, opposite Phoebe Dynevor, said in a statement that it had been a "pleasure and privilege" to be a part of the show.

Meanwhile, production for season two is now underway and will shift the focus from Lady Daphne Bridgerton to her brother, Anthony, and his decision to finally settle down after being known as a 'rake'.
While in season one we saw him madly in love with an opera singer, in the second novel the Viscount decides that he needs to settle down and have children due to the firm belief he has that he will one day die young. We can't wait to see how it turns out!
