Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey teases that fans could see more of Anthony and Kate’s romance in the future, with the pair set to return for season 3.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Bridgerton season 2.
Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey teases that audiences could see more of Anthony and Kate’s romance in the future. Bridgerton took the world by storm when it was first released in December 2020, enchanting audiences with its regency-inspired costumes, music, and of course, drama. The beloved series follows the Bridgertons, an affluent family living in regency-era London, with the first season focusing on the family’s eldest daughter, Daphne, as she navigated society in an attempt to court a husband. Bridgerton season 2 shifted its focus to the Bridgerton’s eldest brother, Anthony (Bailey) who falls in love with his fiancé’s sister, Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley.)
Bridgerton season 2 delved deeper into Anthony’s character as audiences learned how the role of family patriarch was thrust upon him following the tragic and sudden loss of his father. The season’s key focus, however, was on Anthony’s pursuits to find a wife that would meet his impossibly high standards, having sworn that he would not marry for love, for fear of the hurt that he witnessed his mother go through when his father passed away. Audiences were delighted however, when the final episode saw Anthony and Kate decide to follow their hearts, with Kate accepting Anthony’s proposal. Given that the series played on the enemies-to-lovers trope, Anthony and Kate’s happy ending did not receive much screen time, but now Bailey has teased that audiences may see more from the pair in the future.
Sitting down to chat with EW recently, Bailey was asked about whether he hopes to see more scenes between Anthony and Kate in the future, in which audiences get to see them happy and in love, to which he revealed he is “with the fans.” Bailey continued that he has the same questions, before going on to say that he feels as though the short tease of the pair’s happy newly-wed days “might be a nod” to what is ultimately explored going forward. Check out Bailey’s full quote below.
I’m with the fans and asking the same questions. I think that might be a nod to the fact that we might get to explore that side of it a bit more going forward, which would be nice.
Both Bailey and Ashley were recently confirmed to be returning for Bridgerton season 3, with details surrounding this now hotly anticipated season likely to remain under wraps for the near future. So far, Bridgerton seasons 1 and 2 have adapted Julia Quinn’s first two Bridgerton novels, with some deviation from the plot here and there. Knowing this, audiences are anticipating that Bridgerton season 3 will shift its focus to Anthony’s younger brother, Benedict, whose story was explored in part throughout season 2. With Kate’s marriage to Anthony earning her the title of Viscountess Bridgerton, Kate will now be in charge of the Bridgerton household with her husband, so both Bailey and Ashley are likely to have a fairly big role to play in the upcoming season 3.
It’s interesting to hear that Bailey echoes the audience’s sentiments and also hopes to see more of Anthony and Kate in Bridgerton season 3. While season 2 brought a satisfying conclusion to their story, it would certainly be sweet to see more of Anthony and Kate’s love for one another play out on screen in future seasons. For now, fans can keep their fingers crossed that more details surrounding Bridgerton season 3 are released soon.
