WHAT WE’RE WATCHING: Bridgerton Season 2

There’s just something about a book to screen adaptation that makes us extra happy here at Chapters. There’s nothing better than being able to read a novel and then see those same characters featured in a different medium. Let’s call it an immersion experience.

Bridgerton Season 2 began streaming March 25 on Netflix. The show is based on the popular historical romance book series by Julia Quinn. The eight-book series follows the lives of eight Bridgerton siblings and their journeys to those guaranteed happily ever after’s we all love.

Season 2 is based on the second Quinn book, “The Viscount Who Loved Me.”

From the back of the book…

1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, This Author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London’s most elsuive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry.

And in truth, why should he? When it comes to playing the consummate rake, nobody does it better…

—Lady Whistledown’s Society Papers, April 1814

But this time the gossip columnists have it wrong. Anthony Bridgerton hasn’t just decided to marry—he’s even chosen a wife! The only obstacle is his intended’s older sister, Kate Sheffield—the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom. The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal, but when he closes his eyes at night, Kate is the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams…

Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do not make the best husbands—and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate is determined to protect her sister—but she fears her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony’s lips touch hers, she’s suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself…
