Bridgerton season 2 trailer hints at new romance and gossip

A new social season is about to begin in the world of Netflix‘s breakout romantic hit Bridgerton. And that means Lady Whistledown is sharpening her swords, so to speak, with all of the delicious gossip for her newsletter. In the first trailer for Bridgerton season 2, Netflix isn’t letting you forget about last season’s revelation about Lady Whistledown’s true identity. There’s also a glimpse of the romantic complications to come.

This season is based upon Julia Quinn’s second Bridgerton novel, The Viscount Who Loved Me. The focus this time is on the eldest Bridgerton son, Anthony (Jonathan Bailey). Last season, Anthony resolved to make a marriage pact without being hindered by love. As Netflix describes it, Anthony is searching for “a debutante who meets his impossible standards.” And Anthony believes that he’s found his match in Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran).

Of course, it just wouldn’t be Bridgerton if there weren’t obstacles to the marriage. That’s where we meet this year’s leading lady, Kate Sharma (Shelley Conn). Kate is so horrified by Anthony’s desire to marry her sister for reasons other than love that she puts herself between their union. Unfortunately for both of them, Kate and Anthony find themselves developing feelings for each other … which would only hurt Edwina if they came out.

Regé-Jean Page will not reprise his role this season as Simon Basset. Regardless, Simon’s wife and Anthony’s sister, Daphne Basset (Phoebe Dynevor), will remain a vital part of the series. Other returning cast members include Ruth Gemmell as Violet, Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton, Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton, Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton, Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton, Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton, Will Tilston as Gregory Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington, Bessie Carter as Prudence Featherington, Harriet Cains as Philippa Featherington, Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte, and Julie Andrews as the voice of Lady Whistledown.

Worlds collide in new Tron: Ares trailer
Greta Lee runs from a Recognizer in Tron: Ares.

It's been 15  years since Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) and Quorra (Olivia Wilde) escaped from the Grid in Tron: Legacy. A third Tron film was in development that would have continued Sam and Quorra's story, but it was ultimately canceled. According to director Joseph Kosinski, that movie would have featured the real world facing an invasion from the Grid. Some of that plot has been retained for the upcoming film, Tron: Ares, and that's readily apparent in the new trailer that features lightcycles wrecking havoc in our world.

More alarmingly, a Recognizer – a digital warship from both of the previous Tron movies – has also crossed over to the real world. The way it plays in the trailer is like more a serious version of the movie Pixels, except the Recognizer dwarfs everything around it. And it doesn't appear that conventional weaponry is having any effect on it.
