“Bridgerton” season 2 did not have a smooth road to completion. Filming was shut down indefinitely in July after the production was hit with a second positive case of COVID within a week. However, filming resumed in August and progressed steadily from that point on.

In September, Netflix teased fans with a first look clip from season 2 as part of their TUDUM event. The video, which has racked up over 3 million views, previews the main focus of the upcoming season: the romance between Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma.
Just last week, “Bridgerton” breakout star Nicola Coughlan told fans last week that she had seen the first episode of the second season, describing the episode as “f**king brilliant.”
