While we won’t see the breakout star of “Bridgerton” Season 1, Regé-Jean Page (who played Daphne’s husband, Simon), we will see Daphne, as the Bridgerton siblings will all be supporting players while their oldest brother falls in love. Actress Phoebe Dynevor knew this when she signed onto the series and told TheWrap that while not being centerstage is a change, she loves the premise of each season focusing on another love story.
“It’s definitely different,” Dynevor admitted. “And I’ve said it before, but I think the fans who have read the books and know the books are aware that every season will focus on a different sibling’s journey. And it might be a little bit more of a — not shock, but like a surprise for the fans that love Daphne and Simon’s story so much. But I think that’s honestly the joy of the show in the long-term, getting to see these different love stories play out.”
“Bridgerton” has already been renewed for two more seasons. If Seasons 3 and 4 follow what’s written in Julia Quinn’s book series, Daphne’s brothers, Benedict and Luke, will get their own star turns and love stories soon enough (via TheWrap).
