![]() ![]() ![]() The fear of bees and the fear of death at a young age follow Anthony around just as fiercely as his grief over his father. That tidbit of info is particularly important because the first time Edmund was stung, so was Anthony, and allergies can be hereditary. The family is in shock because (1) they haven’t seen My Girl yet and don’t know that bees will ruin your life and your mascara, and (2) Edmund had been stung once before and was fine, but apparently allergic reactions don’t always show up the first time. In 1803, Edmund Bridgerton, by all accounts a very present and loving father, drops dead after an allergic reaction to a bee sting at the age of 38. That’s probably because Edmund’s ghost looms much larger in the second novel, The Viscount Who Loved Me, which focuses on Anthony. The late Edmund Bridgerton is mentioned several times throughout the first season - he and Violet’s great love story and healthy marriage set the standard for all of their children - but the show never dives into the details surrounding his death. I don’t mean to knock bees - we need bees! - but fans of the Bridgerton novels probably gasped with alarm upon seeing that insect pop up in the finale. ![]() It seems only right since the final image of the first season of Bridgerton was, in fact, a bee creeping on the windowsill like the deadly assassin it is.

If the show follows the structure of Season 1 and uses the second novel to anchor season two, we’ll definitely be spending lots of time with Anthony Bridgerton, the focus of The Viscount Who Loved Me, as well as continuing to unravel threads connected to the rest of the books. The TV adaptation invented a few of its own characters and storylines so really anything could happen, but if you’ve read the Bridgerton series it’s easy to pick up on some nods to what goes down in later novels. But instead of sticking to just Daphne’s story, the series pulled elements from other novels to expand the Bridgerton universe. Season one of Bridgerton mostly followed the first novel in the series, The Duke and I. There are eight novels in the original Bridgerton book series, each one dedicated to the love story of a different Bridgerton sibling. We can probably look to the books for some clues. But since Daphne and Simon’s story wrapped up with an, ahem, satisfying ending, you might be wondering what a season two of Bridgerton would look like. ![]() What more could you want, really? Well, you probably want more Bridgerton and it seems safe to assume that you’ll be getting much more. Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, fall for each other, get married, have sex in an inn, have sex in the middle of a picnic, have sex on an easel maybe, have sex so many other places, and happily begin a family together.
