He is someone who I really respect and so yeah, that’s really a question for him. But I will leave that topic to the great showrunners in this instance, Chris Van Dusen. The great thing about Edmund is as the head of the family, he can always pop in or out, so certainly scope for that. Will we see Edmond in those seasons as well?

The series is coming back for a third and fourth season. As with all great stories, whether it’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ or with any great love story, that’s what we hold on to and are fascinated by. We all identify with it, and I think that’s what’s so brilliant about this show. This was something we all have experienced in some form or other I’m sure. Personally, what I thought was wonderful about season one was the simplicity and the joy of the story of watching two people falling in love. I mean, I have two young little babies and even I had time to watch season one. For the first time in a long time, we all had time to reflect watch television. I believe that Bridgerton came at the right time when we were all stuck indoors.
Yes, I did enjoy season one very much and I was excited to join and be a part of the story. As you said, he (Edmund) is an integral part of the story and I enjoyed being a small cog in a very big wheel. But I suppose as time has gone by, I don’t feel the pressure or the responsibility as much and I very much see that as an opportunity to tell a story. Don’t get me wrong, I get excited every day while filming. Honestly, the great thing about getting older as an actor is that the truth of it is, you start to care a little less. How was it for you as an actor to carry that responsibility?
Your character features in flashbacks, but he’s still an integral part of the story. It’s also fun to really put on a costume and be in a British period drama, which I haven’t done in a while. To now have that chance to interact with the children was something I really relished. Violet, Edmund’s wife, were obviously very in love and what happens to him (Edmund) is a real tragedy, which has completely shaped the Bridgerton family. As an actor, it’s exciting to be able to bring that person to life that people have spoken about. Well, what is interesting most about Edmund is that in season one, it’s very clear that he’s dead. I get to work with these wonderful actors and create this sort of real dynamic with the family. He gets talked about a lot in season one, and that’s what really drew me to the to the role. Sometimes that happens and I wanted to be a part of it – the costume, the actors, who wouldn’t? I love the idea of playing Edmund Bridgerton, the father, the patriarch of the family. For me, I believe Bridgerton called to the hearts of the nation during lockdown.
