BRIDGERTON star Nicola Coughlan sent fans into a frenzy after teasing her season two outfits were amazing.
The actress plays the lovelorn Penelope Featherington in the smash hit Netflix series and revealed the cast had already had costume fittings for the newly announced season two.
Underneath the announcement on Twitter, Coughlan dropped the bombshell about her new outfits.
“I *may* have already been in costume fittings for Season Two and can guarantee you are absolutely not ready,” she told fans.
The Galway actress who rose to fame on comedy Derry Girls, then featured in a hilarious tweet from Netflix.
Netflix wrote: “DEAREST READERS, BREAKING NEWS… Bridgerton *will* return for a second season!”
Then it posted underneath that tweet, an eye-popping pic of Coughlan looking at her phone while in one of her season one costumes.
“Actual photo of us posting that tweet,” Netflix hilariously wrote.
Netflix announced yesterday it had renewed Bridgerton for a second series after its record-breaking launch – with Lord Anthony ‘dominating’ the new episodes.
The period drama has been streamed by more than 63 million households since it arrived on Netflix on Christmas Day.
Coughlan’s Lady Whistledown was the one to reveal the good new: “The ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and so it is my honour to impart to you: Bridgerton shall officially return for a second season.
“I do hope you have stored a bottle of ratafia for this most delightful occasion.”
While series one focused on Daphne Bridgerton’s on-off romance with Duke Simon Basset, season two will shift its focus to her brother, Lord Anthony.
Lady Whistledown aka Netflix added in the statement released to RadioTimes: “This author has been reliably informed that Lord Anthony Bridgerton intends to dominate the social season.
“I will have my pen to report on any and all of his romantic activities.
“However, gentle reader, before you set the comments section alight with requests for more sordid details, know that I am disinclined to report on the particulars at this time. Patience, after all, is a virtue.”
The series is based on Julia Quinn’s novels and production on season two will start in Spring.
Showrunner Chris Van Dusen previously hinted there could be up to eight seasons after it’s record-breaking debut on Netflix.
Bridgerton is available on Netflix.
