Production was halted indefinitely in July when someone tested positive for coronavirus, just days after a 24-hour pause. Filming later resumed in early August. Jonathan Bailey/Instagram Based on Julia Quinn's novel The Viscount Who Loved Me, season 2 will focus on the oldest Bridgerton sibling, Bailey's Lord Anthony Bridgerton, who will potentially find love with new character Kate Sharma. Ashley was cast as the female romantic lead in February. "Newly arrived in London, Kate is a smart, headstrong young woman who suffers no fools — Anthony Bridgerton very much included," Netflix's character description reads. Nicola Coughlan, the actress who plays Penelope Featherington, appeared with Bailey at Netflix's TUDUM event in September, where they unveiled a first look at season 2. The clip featured a heated exchange between Anthony and Kate.
