What will happen in Bridgerton series 2?

The second series of the hit Netflix show drops later this month.

It’ll follow Anthony Bridgerton’s quest to find a wife, following on from sister Daphne’s love story in series one.

The second Bridgerton book, which the series is based on, gives a teaser of what’s to come.

It reads: “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.”
