Netflix's Regency-era period dramaBridgerton had major expectations when it dropped on Netflix back in 2020, and lucky for all of us, it lived up to them all.

The show's eight-part first season focused on the competitive world of London high society's 'marriage season', where debutantes were presented at court and triedreallyhard to find a husband.

The eldest daughter of the Bridgerton family, Daphne, begins the season promisingly, but her protective older brother Anthony straight up ruins her chances of finding a decent husband by dissuading suitors he doesn't see fit. Which is basically everyone.

Watch: The teaser trailer for Bridgerton season two. Post continues below.

But then Daphne meets brooding Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, who has sworn to never marry or have children. They fake a courtship for mutual benefit until suddenly it doesn't feel very... fake.

There's also a juicy gossip column from an 1813, British-version ofGossip Girl, string quartet versions of recent top 40 songs andlotsof sex.

It's bloody spectacular, which is great, because season two isn't far off from dropping on Netflix, and we're very excited with this news.

So, with a date lined up for the show to drop in March, what can we expect to see?Bridgertonis based on a book series by author Julia Quinn and there's uh,eightnovels. So there's a lot of material to draw on for the TV show.

Here's everything we know so far aboutBridgertonseason two.

When willBridgertonseason two air?

Bridgertonseason two will drop onto Netflix on March 25, 2022.

The Duke of Hastings won't be returning.

Fans, we have some devastating news: Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, will not be returning for season two ofBridgerton.

In April 2021, Netflix and Shondaland announced the news via Lady Whistledown.

"Dear Readers, while all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s quest to find a Viscountess, we bid adieu to Regé-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings," the message began.

"We'll miss Simon’s presence on screen, but he will always be a part of theBridgertonfamily," it continued. "Daphne will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer – more intrigue and romance than my readers may be able to bear."

At first, we assumed this news was an April Fools joke (because how on earth can the show go on without the Duke?), but sadly, Regé-Jean Page confirmed it was true.

"The ride of a lifetime," he wrote on Instagram.

"It’s been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to be your Duke. Joining this family – not just on screen, but off screen too. Our incredibly creative and generous cast, crew, outstanding fans – it’s all been beyond anything I could have imagined. The love is real and will just keep growing."

While this news left us completely shocked, Page told Variety that one season was always the plan.

"It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end – give us a year," Page told the publication. "[I thought] 'That’s interesting,' because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit and then theBridgertonfamily rolls on."

Ugh, it just won't be the same.

What willBridgertonseason two be about?

Lady Whistledown let slip that "Lord Anthony Bridgerton intends to dominate the social season," which makes sense.

IfBridgertoncontinues to follow Quinn's books (season one correlated to events in her first Bridgerton book,The Duke and I) season two will be based on her second book of the series, calledThe Viscount Who Loved Me.

An Easter egg in the season one finale actually points to this too.

The Viscount Who Loved Meis centred around Daphne's protective older brother Anthony and his quest for love. The book also looks into how the death of the Bridgerton father, Edmund, impacted his oldest son.

Now, get this: In the book series, Edmund died of a bee sting, and his fear of stings plays a major part in his romantic journey. This is a shot from the final seconds of season one's finale:

Each of the eightBridgertonbooks focuses on one of the eight Bridgerton siblings, and thankfully everyone involved in the show seems keen to continue bringing them to the screen.

"We know there are eight Bridgerton siblings [and] there are eightBridgertonbooks,” showrunner Chris Van Dusen toldCosmopolitan.

"I would love to be able to explore love stories and romances for all the Bridgerton brothers and sisters, of course," showrunner Chris Van Dusen told Cosmopolitan.

He told Collider season one did a great job at setting up some character storylines.

"I think we've done some work in season one to set up other characters. We really dig into Anthony's love story. We're really exploring Benedict as well, and Colin, and Eloise's relati
