Simone Ashley has said her character will be returning to Bridgerton for the show’s third season.
Ashley, 27, joined the cast of the hit Netflix drama as Kathani “Kate” Sharma, whose love story with Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) formed the crux of season two.
Adding that Bridgerton writer Jess Brownwell is “taking the lead” as showrunner next season, Ashley also told the publication that she hopes Anthony and Kate “kind of swim in [their] circle of love together” because they “deserve it”.
Speaking to Deadline, Ashley said that she hopes her no-nonsense character will “let go a bit more” in season three.
