WARNING: Spoilers Ahead for Bridgerton!
Rege Jean-Page, who played Simon Basset in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, has left the show to pursue other opportunities. Fans are now wondering what the actor has in store for the future.
Four years ago, Bridgerton captivated audiences with its old-fashioned romance, sizzling chemistry, and memorable steamy scenes. The show initially revolved around the love story between Daphne Bridgerton (played by Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings (Rege Jean-Page). Their undeniable chemistry propelled the show to new heights, and now fans are eagerly awaiting the third season.
However, Jean-Page decided not to return for future seasons. In an interview with Vanity Fair, he explained that they had “finished the story” and it was time for him to move on. Since his departure, fans have been curious about his next projects.
Jean-Page has been involved in various films and series over the past few years, including The Gray Man, Dungeons and Dragons, and the podcast series The Sandman. According to his IMDb page, he is currently working on a highly anticipated project called Black Bag, which is in pre-production. Although a synopsis hasn’t been released yet, it is known that the film is a spy thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh, known for his work on Magic Mike and Ocean’s 11.
What makes Black Bag even more exciting is its star-studded cast. Joining Jean-Page are renowned actors such as Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, and Pierce Brosnan. Actress Marisa Abela, who impressed audiences with her portrayal of Amy Winehouse in the biopic Back to Black, will also be part of the cast. While there is no release date yet, fans can expect a thrilling and captivating film.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been in the spotlight since stepping back from their senior royal duties in 2020. In a trailer for their Netflix series, Prince Harry emphasized that the public doesn’t see what happens behind closed doors, hinting at the difference between public perception and their reality. Meghan added that it makes more sense to hear their story from them when the stakes are high.
Reports suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could earn up to $100 million for the show, although the actual figure remains unknown.
