Popsugar Entertainment Netflix Bridgerton: The New and Returning Cast For Season 2 All the New and Returning Cast Members For Bridgerton's Anticipated Second Season 6 June 2021 by Kelsie Gibson Image Source: Netflix The cast for Bridgerton season two is already stacked! Though we're still sad that Regé-Jean Page won't be gracing our screens as the Duke of Hastings, a handful of your favourite stars from season one will be reprising their fan-favourite characters, including Phoebe Dynevor. Plus, there are plenty of new characters to get excited about. Since the new season revolves around Anthony Bridgerton's love story, Simone Ashley will be joining the cast as the show's new leading lady. We're also going to meet the late Bridgerton patriarch, Edmund Bridgerton. Perhaps his appearance, which we're assuming will be through flashbacks, will set up the recently-announced Bridgerton spinoff featuring a young Queen Charlotte and Violet Bridgerton. See the full cast for season two ahead. Related: Which Character Will Lead Future Bridgerton Seasons? Here's What We Know Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma Image Source: Getty / David M.
