Season 2 of Bridgerton includes means hours of beautiful costumes, people saying “the ton” every other sentence, and super-horny sex scenes await.
And speaking of horny sex scenes, if you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes during Bridgerton’s intimate moments, apparently it’s an extremely controlled and choreographed environment that keeps the cast’s safety and comfort top of mind.
Jonathan Bailey, who plays protagonist Lord Anthony Bridgerton in the show’s second season, spoke about how sex scenes on the show are filmed during an interview with the Sunday Times, saying they are shot with “the female gaze” in mind. He then confirmed that the show works with intimacy coordinators and makes sure “no one goes into a scene quaking, worrying about how it will go. If you are concerned, you can talk to them.”
Actors are also given consent forms to sign before each sex scene “consenting which bit of skin we are going to show in each scene and where we will be touched and how.”
“It turns sex scenes into a choreographed dance,” Jonathan explained, adding that “for a man, it is less exposing. I wanted to make sure Simone [Ashley] felt safe as a newcomer on-set.”
In case you haven’t read the book/obsessed over the trailer, Bridgerton season 2 focuses on Lord Anthony Bridgerton (obviously) and a love triangle he finds himself in with sisters Kate and Edwina Sharma. Please join me in blocking out approximately eight hours of your life to watch the entire season at once, thx.
