 Shonda Rhimes interview on ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3: ‘There is some steam obviously’

Shonda Rhimes, the multiple award-winning creator of fiercely successful shows including ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Inventing Anna’, talks of the couple in focus in season three of the alternate history Regency romance ‘Bridgerton’ as well as costume and music choices 

 

After Bridgerton’s chaste-ish Season 2, which told the love story of Viscount Bridgerton, Anthony (played by Jonathan Bailey) and fiery Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), will Season 3 be as steamy as season one? This is the question plaguing fans of the Regency-era romance ahead of the four-episode drop of Season 3 on May 16.

“I don’t compare the seasons in that way and don’t think of Season 2 as chaste,” says Shonda Rhimes, executive producer of the historical romance. “It was the story that was told. We’re doing these stories based on Julia Quinn’s eight Bridgerton novels and the romances are quite different.”
