Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
Three seasons into “Bridgerton,” fans of the Regency drama are used to the sweeping romances filled with everything hot and heavy — banter, drama, and above all else sex. Every season has had its “diamond”—Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) in Season 1, Edwina (Charithra Chandran) in Season 2, Francesca (Hannah Dodd) in Season 3. While Francesca might be of diamond status in the courting process of the season, her brother Colin’s (Luke Newton) long-anticipated romance with Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) might more closely follow the beats of what the “Bridgerton” audience has become accustomed to.
Francesca’s road to romance remains something unlike what viewers have seen before on “Bridgerton” precisely because of her lack of interest in anything romantic or playing the typical heroine. When we first meet Francesca,...

With Bridgerton Season 3 ready to take the ballroom, you might be looking to revisit the Regency-era romance. Specifically Season 2, which aired in March 2022 and unlocks the love story of Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Miss Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
Over eight episodes, viewers witnessed the enemies-to-lovers journey of Anthony, a determined aristocrat, and Kate, the headstrong and loving sister of Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran). Although Anthony initially proposes to Edwina, it’s Kate he longs for.
As Anthony and Kate come to realize their undeniable connection, the rest of the Bridgerton family finds themselves in scandals and flirtations. Benedict (Luke Thompson) plays with the idea of art school. Colin (Luke Newton) returns from his travels abroad hungry for a purpose — and finds one by ousting the scheming Jack Featherington (Rupert Young) from the ton. Colin happens to save his “friend” Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) in the process.

It’s been over two years since we last heard from Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews), but that ends on May 16, when Part 1 of Bridgerton Season 3 arrives on Netflix. The first four episodes will begin to unfold the love story of one Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), aka “Polin,” perfect for springtime.
Penelope and Colin will step into the spotlight after hovering in the background of the love stories of Colin’s older siblings Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) in the first two seasons. While Season 2 followed Anthony’s enemies to lovers romance with one Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), it also unspooled some threads with Bridgerton siblings Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Eloise (Claudia Jessie).
Here’s what happened in Bridgerton Season 2 for those who need a refresher:

As we first reported on SFFGazette.com, Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max Content shared the first trailer for Dune: Prophecy during today's Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront presentation.
Despite being very much in line with what we've seen from Dune in theaters (albeit with perhaps a few more splashes of colour), the pressure is on this series to live up to Denis Villeneuve's critically acclaimed movies. This teaser doesn't reveal much, but so far, so good based on what we're seeing.

The “Dune” universe is expanding to TV, and going way, way back in time to do it.
During Warner Bros.’ Upfront presentation on Wednesday, HBO and Max boss Casey Bloys introduced the first teaser for “Dune: Prophecy,” a prequel series spinoff of the hit sci-fi film franchise. The six-episode season will premiere on Max this fall.
“Dune: Prophecy” is inspired by the novel “Sisterhood of Dune” by Brian Herbert (son of original “Dune” series author Frank Herbert) and Kevin J. Anderson. Set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides (Timotheé Chalamet), the series tells the story of the founding of the Bene Gesserit, the secretive, all-female (until Paul Atreides) order of superhuman power brokers who advise leaders and influence world events.
It follows sisters Valya (Oscar and Emmy nominee Emily Watson) and Tula Harkonnen (Olivia Williams) as they fight forces that threaten humanity’s future and create what becomes the Bene Gesserit.

Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
Welcome back to the world of “Bridgerton,” the Netflix superhit that gets everyone invested in Regency-era romance by making it clear that the only way empire-waist gowns work is when they’re torn off by hereditary nobility. As it’s been a while since our last opportunity to mingle with the Lords and Ladies of the ton, here’s a refresher on who’s who (and who’s doing who) in London town this season.
I. The Bridgertons
The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) and her children stand at the center of London society, partially because their unlimited funds make them a financially desirable family to marry into, but also because they’re all the kind of hot that makes one stop and go “No,...

In the second season of Bridgerton, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) decides it’s time he finds a wife. When he learns about Miss Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), Queen-declared diamond of the season, he immediately settles on her, but his attraction to her independent, headstrong older sister Kate (Simone Ashley) throws him into a tailspin. Anthony and Kate try to deny what they feel for each other, but it only makes their desire stronger. Luckily for us, their crackling chemistry keeps us on the edge of our seats as we watch each episode, waiting for every stolen glance or near touch. Here’s a list of combustible moments between Anthony and Kate as their love builds from a slow burn to a raging inferno.
Fireworks explode between Kate and Anthony the very first time they see each other. Anthony, out for a morning ride, sees a woman riding by herself, a...

The characters in Bridgertonhave been beloved since author Julia Quinn began publishing the series in 2000. But there’s one heroine in particular who has been lauded by many a book reader: Miss Kate Sheffield, or, in the second season of the Netflix hit, Miss Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
Introduced in the second book in the series, The Viscount Who Loved Me, Kate is the protective older half-sister of one of the social season’s latest gems, Edwina (Charithra Chandran), and one-third of the close-knit Sheffield family. Kate’s mother died when she was young, so she was raised by her father and stepmother, Mary (Shelley Conn). Kate is single-mindedly focused on making sure her younger sister is happy, but the elder sister soon catches the attention of one Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), who can’t get her off of his mind.

Fans have been looking forward to Shondaland bringing more of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books to life on-screen. But we’d argue that few scenes are as anticipated as the Bridgerton family playing a brutally competitive game of pall mall. Season 2, inspired by Quinn’s second novel, The Viscount Who Loved Me, follows the story of eldest Bridgerton brother Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) as he seeks a wife. That brings him into the orbit of the social season’s latest diamond, Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), her protective older sister, Kate (Simone Ashley), and her mother, Lady Mary (Shelley Conn).
The fan-favorite scene arrives in the third episode of the season, as the Bridgerton family retreats to their country estate, Aubrey Hall, to host their annual ball. Before the full crowd of London socialites follows them out of the city, the younger Sharma women join the eldest Bridgerton siblings, including Anthony, Benedict...

There’s one beloved Bridgerton character with her hand in all the goings on of London high society, aka the ton, in Season 2. Sure, anonymous gossip columnist Lady Whistledown reports on the drama, but the ton’s unofficial leader, Lady Danbury, orchestrates it. As the new social season begins, and Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) declares it time to finally find a wife, Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) graciously agrees to sponsor the debutante debuts of two young ladies who immediately catch his eye: Miss Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) and Miss Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), recently arrived from India with their mother, Lady Mary (Shelley Conn).
When Edwina is declared the diamond of the season — the brightest gem among the marriage-eligible ladies — it’s in part thanks to Lady Danbury's influence. Lady Danbury always knows what’s going on. Everybody likes her, though people might be a little afraid of her. She...

Simone Ashley stands on a red carpet inside Arth Bar & Kitchen in Culver City, California, perfectly poised in a white gown she’s wearing with serene confidence. Suddenly, you can see the gears in her mind shift, and her easy smile widens into the kind that suggests she has always known the answer to the question in front of her and can’t wait to share it. “It’s coconut oil!” she tells Tudum, grinning.
Anyone who has watched Ashley’s star-making turn in Bridgerton Season 2 — as horse-riding heroine Kate Sharma — can guess what the 27-year-old is explaining: It’s the product Kate smooths through the tresses of her younger sister, Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), in this season’s third episode, “A Bee in Your Bonnet.” While Kate can’t mend Edwina’s heart after the particularly disappointing dinnertime blunder committed by her crush Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), she can...

Everyone who’s watched Bridgerton Season 2 knows that Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) isn’t a people pleaser. In fact, it’s one of the things Ashley loves most about her character. Kate relocates with her sister, Edwina (Charithra Chandran), and their mother, Lady Mary (Shelley Conn), to Regency England, just in time to participate in the season’s marriage market. Kate and Mary have high hopes of finding Edwina a suitable husband and securing their family’s future, but Kate refuses to be pinned in by the rules that define the Regency-era social season.
She embarks on unchaperoned early morning horseback rides and is ambivalent about being labeled a spinster at 26. She’s sharp, demanding and capable, acting as a buffer between her sister — whom Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) has crowned the season’s diamond — and the suitors who might court Edwina for the wrong reasons. “When I had the...

As a Tamil Indian born in Perth, Scotland, raised partially in Tamil Nadu, then educated in Liverpool and Oxford, Charithra Chandran knows a thing or two about juggling multiple identities. In many regards, it’s become a strength as proven by her breakout role as scene-stealer Edwina Sharpe on the uniquely diverse period romance “Bridgerton”. But despite the role thrusting her into the spotlight, the role has come with some unexpected drawbacks for the actress.
In a recent interview with Deadline, Chandran opened up about the difficulties of working in what she sees as an industry that tries to box artists into being one thing and forces people of color to compete for space.
“You’re so focused on fighting your own that you become distracted from the people doing the oppressing,” Chandran said. “The oppressors have imposed the idea that there’s only one seat at the table, when...

Exclusive: Charithra Chandran, who broke out playing Edwina Sharma in Netflix’s smash regal series Bridgerton, has spoken out against an entertainment industry mentality that she feels pits people of color against each other.

Actors including Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel, Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Melissa Fumero and Aubrey Plaza have spoken out in the past about there being limited spaces for people of color in TV and movies.
To Chandran, this mentality is intentionally propagated by industry gatekeepers to pit people of color against each other. “It’s not a zero-sum game,” she said. “You’re so focused on fighting your own that you become...
