«Bridgerton 2», who are the new cast members

One goes and others come. Netflix, which made its farewell to Bridgerton by Regé-Jean Page, the handsome Duke of Hastings, has announced four new entries for the second season of his TV series. To fill the void left by the actor, they will be Charithra Chandran, Shelley Conn, Calam Lynch and Rupert Young, respectively, chosen to play the roles of debutante Edwina Sharma, Mary Sharma, Edwina’s mother, intellectual Theo Sharpe and Jack, inextricably linked to one of the families in sight. in the tv series.

The four will be called to act alongside Simone Ashley, chosen months ago as the face of the woman who will capture the heart of Viscount Anthony Bridgerton. The second season of the Netflix series will, in fact, have to shift the attention from the ether Daphne Bridgerton to the older brother, forced – by destiny and social obligation – to engage in the search for a wife. Bridgerton, whose second season is being filmed, will bring the Viscount into the arms of Simone Ashley, Kate Sharma in the TV series. The girl, part of Shonda Rhimes’s multi-ethnic plan, will be part of one Indian family inside which they will also convoy Edwina and Mary, played by Charithra Chandran and Shelley Conn.

“We wanted to reflect the contemporary world, even though our story is set in the nineteenth century it was very important for us that today’s audiences could recognize us. I have worked with Shonda for a long time and I know our aim is to choose the best actor for each role. That’s why we took creative liberties, we didn’t intend to teach a lesson, the series marries the story well with the element of fantasy. As for the ethnic identity of the characters, we took a theory about Queen Charlotte, the one who would like to be the first queen of mixed origins in history, and we asked ourselves: “What would have happened if thanks to her other people of color were are you raised in companies with titles, with lands? ”. From these questions was born the character of the Duke of Hastings “, explained Chris Van Dusen, showrunner and executive producer of Bridgerton.
