From Durham, this is your March 2nd update. Jess Brownell, the showrunner for Bridgerton, says she hopes to bring back original leads like Regé Jean Page and Phoebe Dinevoir down the line. She thinks it would be meaningful, especially for the stories of younger siblings, he ascends in Gregory, Page played the Duke of Hastings opposite Dinevoir's Daphne in season 1. His one-season arc wrapped up as planned with Netflix confirming in April 2021 that he would not return. Daphne's fell hard for Page's character, making his exit a big surprise despite the setup. Daphne has stayed in the mix off-screen, supporting her family through the social seasons. Earlier this month, Brownell ruled out recasting those roles. She called it a disservice to the strong work from season 1, and wants any comeback to feature meaty parts, not quake cameos. The camera does not catch everything, so the characters are out there in the Bridgerton world. The series, based on Julia Quinn's books, streams now on Netflix. This episode is supported by her sponsor, C Details in the Description.
