Thanks to its unique and diverse take on the Regency drama, the Netflix series Bridgerton changed the way audiences experience the period piece.
Bridgerton, the Netflix sensation that broke records when it debuted in 2020, finally returned on March 25 for its much-anticipated second season. The eight-episode story focuses on the romance between the eldest Bridgerton, Anthony, and Kate Sharma, a newly arrived Indian woman looking to find her younger sister an advantageous marriage.
A brans new world Showrunner Chris Van Dusen told Heart.co.uk, “we’re not a history lesson, it’s not a documentary.” There is an element of disbelief that accompanies every piece of fiction, even the most realistic.
Boy meets girl When thinking about it, the romantic genre has always asked a lot from its audience. Take Daphne’s brief season one romance with the very real Prince Frederick of Prussia, a classic love setup involving a charming and handsome prince and a young and beautiful ingenue. In any other time, that would’ve been the love story that dominated the series, and fans would’ve had no issue with a real-life figure romancing a fictional character because it would’ve been familiar, expected even.
Season 2 continues its commitment to diversifying the genre by casting actress Simone Ashley, who has Indian Tamil parents, as the female lead, Kate Sharma. Originally Kate Sheffield in the book, the character is as headstrong and independent on the screen as she was on the page; her skin color might differ, but her essence remains the same.
