Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
Welcome back to the world of “Bridgerton,” the Netflix superhit that gets everyone invested in Regency-era romance by making it clear that the only way empire-waist gowns work is when they’re torn off by hereditary nobility. As it’s been a while since our last opportunity to mingle with the Lords and Ladies of the ton, here’s a refresher on who’s who (and who’s doing who) in London town this season.
I. The Bridgertons
The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) and her children stand at the center of London society, partially because their unlimited funds make them a financially desirable family to marry into, but also because they’re all the kind of hot that makes one stop and go “No,...

Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy" is indicative of where the filmmaker was at in his career when he made it. Released in 2004, it was the first movie del Toro directed after the financial success of "Blade II" in 2002 but only his third Hollywood project after that film and his 1997 box office flop "Mimic." Because of this, he had yet to gain the creative control he would later come to wield the first time he brought the agents of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense to the big screen.
Perhaps that's why "Hellboy" doesn't feel like an undiluted del Toro joint in the vein of its sequel, 2008's "Hellboy II: The Golden Army." Make no mistake, it's an imaginative, director-driven superhero movie, mixing quirky horror with del Toro's soulful monsters and fun nods to the fantasy films of Ray Harryhausen. But at the same time, del Toro's weirdness seems buttoned down.

Welcome back to a new Let’s Scare Bryan to Death, where this month we’re taking a trip to the Emerald Isle. But don’t expect a light romp along Ireland’s coast or in its lush forests. Instead, we’re navigating the bleak landscape of repressed male aggression in Ivan Kavanagh’s dread-soaked film, The Canal. Our guide this month is Christine Makepeace, a horror author whose latest book of short stories, The Sound of Breaking Glass, dives into topics such as “loss of self, isolation, and the soul-crushing machine that is capitalism.” She’s also the co-host of The Feminine Critique and serves as a consulting editor for Certified Forgotten. So, you could say she knows a thing or two about horror and film.
Released in 2014, The Canal actually managed to fly well below my radar, so I went in knowing very little beyond the basic IMDb...

It's sad, but it's true:
The series finale of Charmed airs in just over two weeks.
The CW has dropped some plot details for Charmed Season 4 Episode 13, which doubles as a season and series finale.
Given how late in the game the network canceled the drama about witches, many thought we wouldn't get an ending that featured plenty of closure.
"In the epic season finale, Mel (Melonie Diaz), Maggie (Sarah Jeffery) and Kaela (Lucy Barrett), along with Harry (Rupert Evans) and Jordan (Jordan Donica), have now discovered that the cabal of foes coalescing to bring down the Power of Three are actually working for an ancient evil that’s been laying dormant since the dawn of magic," the network's official description for the episode reads.
"This powerful dark force — known as the Lost One — will be the ultimate test of the strength of the newly discovered sisterhood; forcing them to rekindle their connection…...

With the news that The CW has canceled around half of their scripted shows, there's a silver lining for fans of Charmed.
The series, under the leadership of Jeffrey Lieber, Joey Falco and Nicki Renna, has crafted its best season yet, so it's unfortunate that it's being canceled in its prime.
However, the Charmed writers social media account shared Thursday night, hours after the cancellation announcement, that they worked towards closure with the season finale.
"As you can tell by the amount of change happening today, we -- the writers -- were always aware that cancellation was possible," reads the Tweet.
"As such, we wrote toward closure. Meaning, we're not leaving you hanging."
"Moreover, there are some really, really, really cool things happening right up to the final frame."
"So, if you've been with us, and are willing to stay with us, we promise you won't be left in the lurch.

The last week has been a big one for “Bridgerton” star Jonathan Bailey. Since Season 2 of his Regency-romance drama dropped on Netflix March 25, millions across the globe have watched the actor – as Anthony Bridgerton – traverse an emotional rollercoaster that led his character to a happy and loving ending.
And while his show set a record for the streamer, clocking 193,020,000 million hours watched globally (making it the most-viewed Netflix English language TV title in its premiere weekend), Bailey is still making time to discuss the series with press, even if he has to fit it in a very rock star-esque way – after spending nearly two hours on stage (in the London production of “Cock”).
“I feel like this is the perfect time because I’m always slightly wired and I feel like I’ve had about seven coffees when I come off stage,” Bailey tells TheWrap as he chats via Zoom after a performance.

Bridgerton season one arrived on December the 25th 2020 like a highly decorated Christmas gift. Unwrapped, it was a perfect confection of untaxing indulgence, romance and escapism. It told the story of Daphne and Simon, a debutante beauty and an emotionally repressed Duke who teamed up to get everybody off their backs, and who ended up getting on their own backs, and fronts, and sides, and – if I remember this correctly – halfway up the stairs and possibly at one point, a ladder? It was all a marvellous distraction from the real world, with excellent casting that threw open the fusty, cobwebbed door of racially homogeneous period drama to revitalise an over-familiar world.
Now it’s back for season two, with a new romantic plot-line and a bunch of new characters. Here’s who we’ll be meeting across the eight episodes, plus the major returning cast being welcomed back.

After establishing the Regency era world of the ton and introducing audiences to each of Lady Violet’s eight children – Daphne, Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth – in Season 1, the new run of episodes will dive deeper into the storylines of London’s society.
“It’s a big show,” executive producer, creator and showrunner Chris Van Dusen told TheWrap. “There’s a lot of characters and part of the challenge in writing a series like this is knowing when to pop in on certain characters and [when to] pop out. And just writing the scripts with my writers room, we always have long discussions about the flow of an episode, and when are we with our main love story? When are we with Anthony and Kate?

Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery) ended the third season of Charmed learning that “there is another out there” after losing their sister Macy (Madeleine Mantock) and supposedly the Power of Three.

Bridgerton fans might need to brace themselves for another big departure.
Phoebe Dynevor is set to star on Bridgerton Season 2, but her role won't be as prominent as it was when she was the female lead in the freshman season.
Now, news has emerged that the beloved actress is working on the TV adaptation of Exciting Times.
According to Deadline, the star has signed on to executive produce and potentially star in the drama series adaptation of the Naoise Dolan novel.
The series is described as “bracingly intelligent, hilarious and raw” and centers on Ava, the role Dynevor could play.
Ava is an Irish transplant abroad teaching English grammar to wealthy children who becomes entangled in a love triangle with banker Julian and lawyer Edith.
Bridgerton burst onto the scene at the end of last year, propelling Dynevor and co-star Rege-Jean Page to global stardom.

After multiple Covid-19 related shutdowns, Bridgerton Season 2 is back in production.
The news, first reported by Variety, comes two weeks after production was halted for the second time in a few days.
Showrunner Chris Van Dusen dished the news to the outlet.
"We are back underway. We had to delay because of Covid, but we're back in it. Right now I'm in post [production], editing our first couple episodes, which are looking great," he said.
It's good to know a bunch of episodes are already in the can, but there's no telling when the series might return now.
The delays will probably have caused some problems for any unofficially announced premiere dates. It's likely Netflix wanted this to launch in December, much like the first season.
While much is still up in the air, Van Dusen recently revealed to Deadline that fans are not "going to be ready" for what's on tap.

Production on Bridgerton Season 2 is not going smoothly.
The Netflix juggernaut has been shut down for the second time in a week due to another positive Covid test.
Deadline first reported the news, while also confirming that there is no definite return to production.
The series was first shut down on Thursday for 24 hours after a crew member tested positive, but it was brought to a halt again on Friday due to another positive test.
The indefinite hiatus is concerning because it could suggest that a cast member tested positive for Covid-19.
Bridgerton burst onto screens in December and quickly became a huge success for Netflix, going on to snag a three-season renewal and an order for a spinoff.
Netflix declared Bridgerton to be a success story by saying it was watched by a record 82 million Netflix households around the world and towered above the streamer's other offerings.

Maggie had a vision of the bleak future on Charmed (2018) Season 3 Episode 15, and she decided that she and Macy would have to go there if they were to get more answers.
Unfortunately, their little getaway to Seattle in 2026 left them and the audience with more questions than answers.
I was worried that the Tomb of Chaos and the Perfecti storyline was done with after Charmed (2018) Season 3 Episode 14, but my worries were short-lived.
Although they briefly mentioned the Tomb, it's obvious that it will play a big part in creating the magical plague. Perhaps some of its creatures will escape and spread the deadly disease throughout the magical community?
Whatever the case may be, it's a good thing that the Tomb is still at play as we near the end of Charmed (2018) Season 3. It would have made...

The Bridgerton books don't spend a huge amount of time on Violet and Edmund Bridgerton's story, but with the casting of Rupert Evans to play the Bridgerton patriarch in season two, it looks like we're going to get at least a little more information about the Bridgerton family's beloved parents. Edmund has been dead for over a decade when we first meet the Bridgertons, but if you can't wait til season two to get all the details about his life (and death), here's what you need to know, straight from Julia Quinn's novels!
The Viscount Who Loved Me, the novel on which much of season two will be based, opens with a prologue that explains the Bridgerton family backstory. We learn that Edmund and Violet married and became parents very young; Edmund is 20 and Violet is 18 when their first son, Anthony, is born. They have a total of eight children,...

Phoebe Dynevor, who plays Daphne on the Netflix hit, has opened up about how Page's exit will impact the second season.
As you will recall, Daphne and Simon were very much together at the close of Bridgerton Season 1, with the pair welcoming a newborn son into the world.
"I think he'll definitely be referred to a lot," the actress explained in a chat with The Wrap.
"I think we'll see the baby. And we'll just focus more on [Daphne's] relationship with the Bridgerton Family."
As previously reported, Bridgerton Season 2 will focus on Anthony Bridgerton's search for love.
"It's definitely different," Dynevor said of the sophomore run.
"And I've said it before, but I think the fans who have read the books and know the books are aware that every season will focus on a different sibling's journey.

Bridgerton fans can now put a face to the name of Edmund Bridgerton: Charmed actor Rupert Evans will play the family patriarch in Season 2, TVLine has learned.
Edmund is described as a loving and devoted husband to Violet Bridgerton (played by Ruth Gemmell), and an endlessly patient and kind father who takes special pride in guiding his eldest son, Anthony, through life. The character will presumably appear in flashbacks as Edmund has already passed away in the present day; the show hasn’t yet explained his demise, but in Julia Quinn’s novels on which the series is based, Edmund died of a bee sting.
