Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey has defended the show over its lack of sex scenes in season two.
On Wednesday (30 March), Netflix announced that Bridgerton season two had smashed its opening weekend viewing record, after the show was watched for 193 million hours worldwide.
However, speaking to USA Today, Bailey said that “it would have been wrong for Kate and Anthony to have got physical any sooner than they did”.
While the series has earned praise, many critics and fans alike lamented the lack of physically intimate scenes in the new run of episodes compared to the first season, with Kate and Anthony having sex for the first time in the penultimate episode.
