John Boyega wants to replace Rege-Jean Page in Bridgerton. Created and produced by the Hallmark Channel. But later bought out by Lifetime after Hallmark. Became an independent company. The show was based on Colin Clark’s book titled Bridget Jones’ Diary. A Novel About Love As Told By Her In The Future. With Some Help From Her Past And Present Diaries. Starring Rege-Jean Page; as the original lead actor. Along with other notable actors such as Tom Ellis and Kris Marshall, it follows Lady Diana Spencer, who falls!

John Boyega has said, “I’m a Leo, so I like attention.” He continued with, “And it’s great because [Bridgertons] is not all about me being black; they’re just talking about my character. As a person within that family. And how he fits into the conversation.” He also added, “It was really refreshing for me to play somebody; who wasn’t struggling with their colour or race at every moment of their existence.”

This new take on Bridgerton promises to have more diversity than before!

About Bridgerton

The series is set in Regency-era London. The show chronicles Sir Richard’s pursuit of love and social acceptance while balancing his heritage, public perception, and duty as the firstborn Bridgerton son.

Bridger falls in love with the beautiful, blonde heiress Lady Penelope Pembroke and marries her after a whirlwind courtship. But Bridget’s family is less than sympathetic when they learn that not only has she married for love, but to an African man-a situation most would deem unthinkable at this time period.

The show follows their lives as Sir Richard and Lady Pembroke navigate early nineteenth-century London society while trying to balance his heritage, public perception, and duty as the firstborn Bridgerton son who must produce heirs someday soon…but it’s hard on him now!

Bridgerton Season 1 Reviews and Ratings

Brought back some of my childhood memories with this show. It’s so funny how people thought about African Americans in that time period too.

I really enjoyed watching these episodes again, although I found out they were cancelled after season one. If you’re looking for a lighthearted comedy, then give this show a try 🙂

Bridgerton Season 2 Release Date Updates

The show is not cancelled! There are talks about whether or not it will be renewed. I hope so because I’ve been following the show for a while now and want to see what happens with Lady Pembroke (especially her newest baby).

On 21st January, an official statement was released for the show, stating that there will be a season 2 whose Release Date is still not confirmed but is likely to premiere sometime around spring in 2021. This will be followed by Season 3 and 4 with a different cast and story possibility.
