Regé‑Jean Page Deflects Questions About a 'Bridgerton' Return on the Red Carpet

No discussions about his return have taken place under a no‑recasting approach from the showrunner.

Overview

  • At Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood event on March 14, Page sidestepped repeated questions about reprising the Duke of Hastings.
  • He replied, “I’m not on the internet,” said he would “take your word for it” about fan demand, and ended the exchange with “Thank you very much.”
  • Fan speculation has intensified based on his recent Instagram follows of several cast members, but no comeback has been confirmed.
  • Showrunner Jess Brownell has rejected recasting and says former leads would return only for substantive storylines, likely in later seasons.
  • Brownell told People she has not spoken with Page and that any ideas remain exploratory, with no official talks or announcement.
