The show follows the &#8220;ton&#8221; or high society of nineteenth-century London as debutantes are presented to be courted.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2021\/05\/bridgerton-phoebe-dynevor-nicola-coughlan-chris-van-dusen-interview-contenders-tv-1234748542\/\" target=\"_blank\">recent interview<\/a>, the 26-year-old <em>Bridgerton<\/em> star Phoebe Dynevor, who plays Daphne Bridgerton, explained her relation to the character she plays. The show, produced by Shonda Rhimes, featured a steamy sex scene between Phoebe&#8217;s character and Simon Basset, played by Reg\u00e9-Jean Page.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how Dynevor relates to the on-screen Duchess she depicts, she explained the drive and ambition they share as women, working to make a place for themselves in the world. This was Dynevor&#8217;s method of tapping into the character of Daphne, where actor and character meet. &#8220;There are a lot of differences between me and Daphne,&#8221; Dyvenor said. &#8220;But I think she values family, which I also value, and at a time when women had only one option, she was as determined to make that happen as I am in my career.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dynevor went on to talk about the importance of women defining their lives in their own terms. In a world like <em>Bridgerton<\/em>, where machismo and masculinity define many social dynamics, a character like Daphne Bridgerton &#8220;calling the shots&#8221; is an aspect of the character that Dynevor finds admirable.<\/p>\n<p>On the topic of her character&#8217;s &#8220;sexual evolution,&#8221; Dynevor said that she found the sex scene between her character and Reg\u00e9-Jean Page&#8217;s Simon to be an important part of the storyline. Dynevor and the other members of the show&#8217;s production wanted to explore this aspect of the character&#8217;s dynamic truthfully and safely.<\/p>\n<p>In a time where many people are shuttered indoors and socially isolating, Dynevor hopes that the show can provide a sense of entertainment and escape from the pandemic-dominated world we live in. \u201cJust seeing how much it has impacted people\u2019s lives and people saying on the street, \u2018Wow, thank you, we really loved your show,\u2019&#8221; Dyvenor said. &#8220;Moments like that are really lovely, especially in a time that has been quite difficult for a lot of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Season 1 of\u00a0<em>Bridgerton<\/em> can be streamed with a Netflix subscription. Additionally, the show has been renewed for a second season; the release date for season 2 has not yet been released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26633,"featured_media":23146,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium
