Netflix has released first-look photos at the sophomore season of its record-breaking Regency-era dramedy, Bridgerton, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series, based on the books by Julia Quinn (The Other Miss Bridgerton), will show Phoebe Dynevor (The Colour Room) and Jonathan Bailey (Crashing) reprising their roles in season two as the eldest female and male Bridgerton siblings, while the debut season’s male lead, Regé-Jean Page’s (The Gray Man) Simon Bassett, will not be featured.

While the first season of Bridgerton centered around Daphne and her search for a suitable love match, the second season will follow her brother – the family’s patriarch – in finding a suitable wife to bear his heir and carry on the Bridgerton name.

“Driven by his duty to uphold the family name, Anthony’s search for a debutante who meets his impossible standards seems ill-fated until Kate (Simone Ashley) and her younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) Sharma arrive from India,” the official description reads, via The Hollywood Reporter. When Anthony begins to court Edwina, Kate discovers the true nature of his intentions – a true love match is not high on his priority list – and decides to do everything in her power to stop the union. But in doing so, Kate and Anthony’s verbal sparring matches only bring them closer together, complicating matters on both sides.”

Official photos for the upcoming season, which is set to debut on Netflix on March 25, can be viewed below.
