Bridgerton Creator Julia Quinn Isn’t Surprised on Regé-Jean Page’s Exit From the Show, Here’s What She Said

With Bridgerton season 2 just around the corner, we can’t wait to see the
character development of our favorite Bridgerton siblings, as well as their
respective saucy romantic lives, or with Eloise Bridgerton, no romantic life. We
will, without a doubt, miss Simon, Duke of Hastings. There is no more saddening
news for Bridgerton fans than the fact that actor Regé-Jean Page will not return
for the second season.

The show Bridgerton is based on Julia Quinn’s novels, which are set in
Regency-era London town. The first season focused on Daphne Bridgerton, the
eldest daughter, and her love life. The second season, based on the second novel
in the series, will follow Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, the eldest son. Because
each season will focus on one of the siblings, there will be no more Simon
Basset in subsequent seasons.


CREATOR JULIA QUINN KNEW ABOUT REGÉ-JEAN PAGE’S EXIT

When asked if the creator and author Julia Quinn was as surprised as the fans to
learn that Rege-Jean Page would not be returning for season 2, she refused, “I
had a heads up, I knew, the show is based on a series of romance novels. You
have a different set of leads with every book.” Bridgerton star Rege-Jean
Page signed a one-season contract, so he will not appear in the following
seasons.
