Based on the novel of the same name, written by Julia Quinn, the series already has two seasons, and the third is on its way!
The first two seasons featured Phoebe Dynevor, Regé-Jean Page, Simone Ashley, Jonathan Bailey, and others in pivotal roles. Even though Rege didn’t make a comeback for the second season, we all had hoped to see the Duke once again in the series.

While Bridgerton season one was about Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page), season two focused on Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey. The third season will be based on Colin Bridgerton’s life and his romantic connection with Lady Whistledown, Penelope Featherington.
What we know is that Regé didn’t return to the series even after he was offered $50,000 per episode, and he was supposed to appear as a guest actor in three to five episodes. But the actor chose to decline the request and in an interview with Variety, the actor said, “It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end – give us a year. [I thought] ‘That’s interesting,’ because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit, and then the Bridgerton family rolls on.”
While we don’t know about the other cast members, Lady Whistledown’s narrator, Julie Andrews, received a huge $1.5 million paycheck for voicing the gossip columnist in the town. Here are the actors and their net worths that prove their connection with Bridgerton has increased their salary growth.

The Lady Whistledown aka Lady Whistledown, has an estimated net worth of $30 million. Nicola Coughlan plays Penelope Featherington and her net worth is around $1.6 million.
However, it’s Daphne aka Phoebe Dynevor, who had earned the most among the rest. As per Daily Mail, Phoebe took home £400,000 from Netflix after she featured in Bridgerton.
