"From the first time I read Julia Quinn’s delicious Bridgerton series, I knew these were stories that would captivate a viewing audience. But the evolution of this adaptation would not be a success without the many significant contributions of the entire Shondaland team," said executive producer, Shonda Rhimes of the renewal.

"This two-season pickup is a strong vote of confidence in our work and I feel incredibly grateful to have partners as collaborative and creative as Netflix. Betsy and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue bringing the world of Bridgerton to a worldwide audience," she adds.

Bridgerton is set in the lavish and competitive world of Regency London high society where viewers are taken to the glittering ballrooms of Mayfair to the aristocratic places of Park Lane and beyond. The romance drama established itself as a seductive period piece looking at dramatic power struggles on top of its steamy love story. The eight Bridgerton siblings each navigate the marriage market during the London society, in search of adventure, love and their own self.
