Rege-Jean Page always knew he'd only be in Bridgerton for one season.
The 31-year-old actor - who plays the Duke of Hastings in the Netflix period drama - insists he would have always left the show after its first series but is excited to see the show "roll on" into the future.
Speaking about the show, he 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 ... One of the things that is different about this [romance] genre is that the audience knows the arc completes. They come in knowing that, so you can tie people in emotional knots because they have that reassurance that ... we're going to have the marriage and the baby," he said.
The actor insisted he has "nothing but excitement" for the show to return.
