It’s full of swoon-worthy moments — and a very, very competitive game of pall-mall
Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) begins his search for, well, not love, but a suitable bride in the official trailer for Netflix’s “Bridgerton” Season 2, which dropped on Wednesday. The swoon-worthy three-minute trailer sets up the season, which will see the Viscount seeking out a potential Viscountess, with the over-encouragement of his mother Violet (Ruth Gemmell), who rather loudly announces at a ball that her eldest son is on the market. (Watch the trailer above.) “’tis only out of the greatest love of my family that I aim to choose a bride with my head and not my… heart,” Anthony tells his brother Benedict (Luke Thompson) as the two sit side-by-side while being shaved (because they’re so rich, they don’t do that stuff themselves) in a new scene from the clip. As Anthony seeks a bride, he’s set to encounter the Sharma sisters — Edwina (Charithra Chandran) and Kate (Simone Ashley). The ton newcomers will be making their society debut (though Kate isn’t really in the market for a match). And, as Lady Whistledown notes in the trailer, “any suitor hoping to gain an audience with miss Edwina Sharma must first tame her sister.” There’s a treat for readers of Julia Quinn’s “The Viscount Who Loved Me” in the trailer, which confirms both sisters will join the Bridgerton siblings for a game of pall mall (a big thing in Julia Quinn’s “The Viscount Who Loved Me”).
