Rege-Jean Page will not return for the second season of record-breaking Regency romance Bridgerton, Netflix said, prompting howls of despair from fans of the dashing Duke of Hastings. The wildly popular series from Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes puts a modern twist on the books about an upper-class family in early 19th-century England, including colour-blind casting. British-Zimbabwean actor Page was a breakout star for the first season, but his character’s storylines largely conclude in the opening volume of Julia Quinn’s original books.
