Bridgerton Star Actor, Rege-Jean Page Won’t Be Retuning To Season 2 Of The Series
Bridgerton star actor, Rege-Jean Page, who stars as Duke of Hastings would no longer star in the popular Netflix romance series.
A post from the show’s social media account confirms the 31-year-old actor will not be back for Season 2, which is currently being filmed in the United Kingdom.
Written in the voice of Lady Whistledown, the show’s anonymous gossip character played by Julie Andrews, the announcement reads, “Dear Readers, while all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s quest to find a Viscountess, we bid adieu to Regé-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings.”
The note however, acknowledged that the Duke will still always remain a part of the Bridgerton family, further adding that his wife Daphne, the Duchess of Hastings, played by Phoebe Dynevor, “will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer – more intrigue and romance than my readers may be able to bear.”
Page responded to the note on Twitter, saying “Pleasure and a privilege! An honour to be a member of the family — on and off screen, cast, crew and incredible fans — the love is real and will just keep growing.
