Bridgerton’s showrunner Chris Van Dusen is giving fans their first look at the Season 2 premiere episode with the installment’s script.
The photo shared through Twitter provides a glance at the cover of this episode script which shows the installment’s name, “Capital R Rake.” Season 2 will center around the eldest Bridgerton sibling Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), and the title is most likely an allusion to him. The picture was accompanied by some hashtags which include #ItsComing and #Season2.

The term rake is a bit dated, but finally translates to somebody who’s loose with their morals, and considering what viewers saw of Anthony’s behavior in Season 1, then this certainly rings true. Despite being driven by his own impulses in his own romantic entanglements, Anthony was quite strict about the way his baby sister Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) ran himself during the season she was looking for a match.
Now that she has found you in Simon, the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), it’s Anthony’s turn to find a correct match of his own. Season 2 will follow the events of Julia Quinn’s novel The Viscount Who Loved Me, the second installment in her bestselling Bridgerton book series.
Simone Ashley will depict Season 2’s co-lead, Kate Sharma, a variation of this character Kate Sheffield out of Quinn’s publication. Few other specifics about Season 2 have been unveiled at this time, but rest assured that lots of Bridgerton are along the way. Netflix already renewed the Regency-era play for Seasons 4 and 3.
