Warning, series one and two spoilers ahead!

Netflix has confirmed that Bridgerton series two will be dedicated to Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and his quest to find a wife, as it is in Julia Quinn's second book The Viscount Who Loved Me.

And in March the show's new leading lady, Simone Ashley, best known for playing Olivia in Netflix's Sex Education, was announced as Miss Kate Sharma; "Newly arrived in London, Kate is a smart, headstrong young woman who suffers no fools — Anthony Bridgerton very much included."

Thanks to Nicola Coughlan aka Penelope Featherington aka Lady Whistledown, we've been able to get a look at the new romantic leads together along with Charithra Chandran who is playing Edwina Sharma, Kate’s younger sister.
