The first season captivated viewers with the romance between the Duke and the eldest daughter of the Bridgertons and, although we will not be able to see much of them in the second season, Shonda will make us fall in love again, but this time, with the romance between the oldest of the brothers and Kate.

Multiculturalism in “Bridgerton”
Shonda mentioned that it was important for her to create worlds that resemble the reality of all people. The idea that she has is that the spaces that she creates resemble those of many, that her team invents societies where each one of her viewers feels identified with her characters. “This is how we work ShondalandThis is how we tell stories. While it’s important to Bridgerton, it’s also important to the others. When you watch TV, you should be able to see people who look like you,” she claimed.
That’s how this season included the South Asian family of the Sharmas. The production company wanted to add women who belong to this ethnic group and make sure that they were represented on screen in a genuine and true way.
