The second season of “Bridgerton” didn’t just break records—it launched its stars into the Hollywood stratosphere. After debuting on March 25, 2022, the season became the most-watched English-language series on Netflix at the time, amassing over 656 million hours viewed in its first month.

While the enemies-to-lovers tension between Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma defined the season, the cast’s real-world trajectory since then has been just as dramatic. From blockbuster Marvel roles to intense thrillers, here is what the stars of Season 2 are doing in 2026.
