The very large and active fan base for Netflix\u2019s period soap opera Bridgerton<\/em> was shocked last week by the announcement that Reg\u00e9-Jean Page, who plays Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, would not be returning for the show\u2019s highly anticipated second season. Page was a nominee for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series this past weekend at the SAG Awards, the only individual cast member from his show to earn that distinction.<\/p>\n

The news was first conveyed on the official Bridgerton<\/em> Instagram account in the form of a society paper from Lady Whistledown that read, \u201cDear Readers, while all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton\u2019s quest to find a Viscountess, we bid adieu to Reg\u00e9-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings. We\u2019ll miss Simon\u2019s presence onscreen, but he will always be a part of the Bridgerton family. Daphne will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer \u2013 more intrigue and romance than my readers may be able to bear.\u201d Daphne, played by Phoebe Dynevor, is Simon\u2019s wife, and will be back for season two.<\/p>\n

Now, speaking to Variety<\/a>, Page has revealed he always knew he would be leaving after just one season. He explained, \u201cIt\u2019s a one-season arc.<\/p>\n

[I thought] That\u2019s interesting,\u2019 because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit and then the Bridgerton family rolls on. One of the things that is different about this [romance] genre is that the audience knows the arc completes. They come in knowing that, so you can tie people in emotional knots because they have that reassurance that we\u2019re going to come out and we\u2019re going to have the marriage and the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to these plans, Simon is also primarily featured in just the first of the eight novels by Julia Quinn on which the show is based. The series will serve as an anthology series of sorts, moving on to another sibling as the focus for next season. Stars signing on for just the initial season of series is commonplace, especially when characters and storylines are completely fresh each time. Julia Roberts in Homecoming<\/em> is one prominent recent example, though in that case, the second season was considerably less popular, an affliction that isn\u2019t likely to affect Bridgerton<\/em>, which was watched by an astounding 82 million households within its first month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
