After a long wait, the second season of “The Bridgertons” finally made it to streaming. The new episodes brought back beloved characters, although there were also big casualties, such as the absence of actress Ruby Stokes (Francesca in fiction). Likewise, we also couldn’t see Regé-Jean Page as Simon Basset. However, there is still more to explore in the universe of the series: Netflix has approved a spin-off for its successful production.
