Bridgerton Season 2 is finally coming to Netflix, over two years after the period drama became a phenomenon for the streamer. The wait for new episodes is nearly over, with the release time less than a day away.
This time, there are some changes to the world of the Shonda Rhimes series, based on the books by Julia Quinn. Rege-Jean Page is out as the rakish Duke of Hastings, meaning that the Netflix series will be moving on to the love story of another member of the Bridgerton family, Anthony (played by Jonathan Bailey).
With a new season also comes a new set of love interests. Leading them is Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma, with whom Anthony may have met his match.
Here's when the new episodes of Bridgerton will be dropping, and what you can expect from them.

What to expect from Bridgerton Season 2?
The official Netflix summary reads: "The second season of Bridgerton follows Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and Viscount, as he sets out to find a suitable wife.
"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. 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. Across Grosvenor Square, the Featheringtons must welcome the newest heir to their estate while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) continues to navigate the ton whilst keeping her deepest secret from the people closest to her."
