In a conversation with Vanity Fair, Rhimes said that she underestimated the affect of releasing all the episodes at once. With that quick premiere, the entire world fell in love with her leading man. Then, of course, when he disappears from the story there is a bit of disappointment. However, that’s just how it has to go according to the books.
“I don’t think I fully expected or understood what releasing all eight episodes around the globe at once was going to do,” Rhimes explained. “And yeah, I was like, ‘I’ve killed many a man that people adore.’ I’m so surprised that everybody is [losing it over a character we’ve watched] for eight episodes leaving. But obviously, Regé is an amazing actor and he did an amazing thing and people responded. I also was surprised because the nature of this series is simply, this year it’s this couple, this year it’s [that] couple.”
“Bridgerton swept us off our feet. The creative team, led by Shonda, knew the material and delivered a beautiful, emotional, romantic drama for our members. They have some exciting plans for the future, and we think audiences will continue to swoon for this show. We’re planning to be in the Bridgerton business for a long time to come,” said Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s VP, Global TV, in the renewal announcement.
