Here's who plays who in Bridgerton series two, from Anthony Bridgerton to Penelope Featherington.

Bridgerton is back in our lives for season two and this time there's plenty of new cast members to get to know, including Simone Ashley and Calam Lynch, as well as season one faves taking more of a central storyline; e.g. Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey.

Regé-Jean Page's character Simon Bassett won't appear in series two, much to the entire world's dismay, but there's a whole host of incredible stars to get to know this time around, as well as re-connecting with season one icon in her own league Lady Whistledown.
