Bridgerton season 2 has been out for a number of weeks, however you wouldn’t comprehend it from the way in which the web is behaving. TikTok and Reddit sleuths are nonetheless fervently breaking down each scene with the identical depth as Eloise on the hunt for Woman Whistledown’s id.
A number of the largest debates embody: The place is Francesca, the seemingly forgotten Bridgerton sibling who’s been largely absent from seasons 1 and a pair of? Which clues most reveal that season 3 will probably be about Colin, Benedict, or each? And the way a lot ought to we learn into the inclusion of Sir Philip, Eloise’s love curiosity from the books? Additionally, what precisely occurred between Anthony and Kate in that gazebo?
With a lot to debate, we referred to as up showrunner Chris Van Dusen to ask each lingering query that is still about Bridgerton season 2. Spoilers forward, clearly.
Glamour: I must know: The place is Francesca?
Chris Van Dusen: I personally love that character, and I like working with [actor] Ruby Stokes. We sadly misplaced Ruby halfway by means of filming resulting from one other venture. Francesca was really written into the season far more than you see her within the closing edit. We tried actually exhausting to make it work, however we simply couldn’t. So after exhausting a bunch of different choices, we sadly needed to take Francesca out of a few of the scripts resulting from causes that have been actually past our management.
So she’ll come round subsequent season, hopefully?
I hope so. Francesca is unquestionably a Bridgerton. She has her personal love story in e book six, so it was at all times my objective and my intention to concentrate on one Bridgerton sibling per season and to positively inform the tales of all these brothers and sisters in some unspecified time in the future.
Within the writers’ room, was there a dialogue of what she was as much as off-screen?
In season 1 we had her go to Tub along with her aunt, for her piano forte. To us, Francesca was at all times round and part of these scenes in season 2. Very similar to the Duke, simply since you didn’t see them doesn’t imply they weren’t there.

With regards to scenes getting minimize, once I interviewed intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot, she stated some attractive moments have been minimize—that you simply filmed further for each seasons. Might you share what these scenes may need included and why they have been minimize?
I can let you know 100% that no intercourse scenes have been minimize from the season. They’re all there. All of the scripted intercourse scenes ended up within the minimize of the season.
With this season being a lot extra concerning the gradual burn, how did you discover that stability? It’s a superb line between delayed gratification and delaying issues too a lot.
This season we have been following totally different characters and a distinct story. I feel our method to the intimacy on the present remained very a lot the identical, and that’s by us utilizing these intimate scenes to inform a narrative and to push story ahead. That’s precisely what we did in season 2. We weren’t telling a narrative much like Daphne and Simon, an awakening of a personality. This season these characters have been a bit older, a bit wiser.
