Romance, drama, gossip, and lavish gowns—there’s a long list of things that charm viewers about the Bridgerton series. Even though Bridgerton is set in Regency-era London, it gives you a chance to do an imaginary ball dance to modern Gen Z music and has quite a diverse cast. The viewers find an escape from reality in its depiction of funny, multifaceted characters who are mostly seen sipping tea in the garden and discussing their marriage (must be nice, I wouldn’t know).
The recent season of Bridgerton was a fun dose of entertainment. Polin are officially married, and we finally got the chance to witness the famous mirror scene (don’t lie about skipping it, or rewatching it a couple of times), but the sad news is that according to Netflix, this is all we have for the next two years because the upcoming season will take some time to premiere.
So, we have decided to drum up a list that would make you miss the ton a lot less… or so we hope.
