Two years after making a splash as one of the biggest Netflix hits of all time, regency romance “Bridgerton” is back. Much like in the novels by Julia Quinn, from which the series is adapted, the sophomore installment focuses on Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton son, in his quest for a bride.

Derry Girls star Nicola Coughlan and Sex Education‘s Aimee Lou Wood have been cast in a new historical comedy called Seize Them!.The film, which is set in Britain’s dark ages, has also signed-up Ghosts star Lolly Adefope, Hot Fuzz’s Nick Frost and W1A‘s Jessica Hynes, and comes from director Curtis Vowell.Described as a female-led comedy, Seize Them! sees Queen Dagan (played by Wood) toppled in a revolution led by Humble Joan (Coughlan). A bounty is subsequently put on Dagan’s head as she is forced to be a fugitive in her own land.She faces hardship and danger as she sets out to reclaim her throne, with help from former servant Shulmay (Adefope), who has a lot of secrets, and shit-shoveller Bobik (Frost), who wants more out of life.The film has been written by Ron’s Gone Wrong‘s Andy Riley, and has just begun filming in the UK.“The chance to shoot in Wales, the land of my fathers, with Aimee and Lolly saying the terrific words, out loud, that Andy Riley has written, was a sweet temptation I found hard to resist,” Frost admitted (via Variety).Producer Damian Jones said: “We are very excited to be working with the funniest young actresses around today in Aimee, Lolly and Nicola as well as the epic Nick Frost and Jess Hynes.

With season two of Bridgerton just days away (!!), it’s a safe bet that all eyes are going to be on Anthony [Jonathan Bailey]. And while his charming personality and undeniable good looks make him the main character of the year’s marriage market, don’t underestimate the importance of his iconic sideburns — or lack thereof. 

Just as the weather is getting warmer, so too is celebs’ hair colour of choice, and it feels like half of Hollywood is having a copper haired moment right now. Everyone from Kendall Jenner to Euphoria’s Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney is currently experimenting with reddish, coppery tones – and Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor and Nicola Coughlan will soon be back on our screens sporting their characters’ signature renaissance red shades.

Fearful of footwear. Nicola Coughlan’s bright dresses and floral headpieces may have taken center stage in Bridgerton season one, but fans might have noticed that the show leaned into the 35-year-old actress’ shorter stature.
