It’s been literal hours since I learned beautiful man Regé-Jean Page will not be in Bridgerton season 2, and I’m still upset about it. Turns out the internet is too, so join me as I laugh through the tears at all the comments and memes mourning the end of the Duke of Hastings. You may as well have killed him off, Netflix. What even is the point now?
For those of you just learning about this horrible news, Netflix and Page confirmed the actor will not reprise his role as the Duke of Hastings in season 2 of Bridgerton.
Netflix, or Lady Whistledown, pinned it down to the second season focusing on Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) as he tries to find a Viscountess, not Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon.
And no, this is not a delayed April Fool’s gag. I thought so too at first. Sigh.
Page, meanwhile, told industry publication Variety that he had only signed up for the one season of Bridgerton. That was the plan all along.
“It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end,” Page told Variety.
“I get to contribute my bit and then the Bridgerton family rolls on.”
The pain, it hurts.
As you can imagine, fans of the show have not taken the news well. We’re absolutely devo.
Same, Kim, same.

If Regé-Jean Page is not in coming back then what is the point? What is the point of season 2? Ain't nobody trying to see Anthony. #Bridgerton pic.twitter.com/X0rUWpHtWL

just told my mam the guy who plays the duke of hastings in bridgerton isn't coming back next season and you'd swear i said that i shat in the kettle

I haven’t told my mum yet for that exact reason.
I’m still holding out hope that Regé-Jean Page will ride into a later season of Bridgerton. The show is based on the eight-novel series by author Julia Quinn, so you never know.
The second season will introduce Anthony’s love interest, Kate Sharma, to the ton. She will be played by Sex Education‘s Simone Ashley. That’s something to look forward to – I’m trying to look at the positives here. I’M TRYING.
To be honest, this is the only silver lining.
it makes perfect sense to me that regé-jean page is leaving bridgerton…to become one of the biggest stars on the planet in the next five years
