Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor Reveals Shocking Reason She Hasn’t Returned Since Season 2

Phoebe Dynevor said she would return as Daphne if asked, while showrunner Jess Brownell said the series is not interested in recasting the role.

  • Phoebe Dynevor revealed on Saturday she has not received a request to return as Daphne to Bridgerton, though she told Collider she would always come back if asked by the Netflix series.
  • Based on the Julia Quinn book series, Bridgerton follows the wealthy Bridgerton family searching for love in 19th century London. Season 1 focused on Daphne's unexpected connection with Simon.
  • Jess Brownell recently addressed recasting rumors, stating the production is "not interested in recasting the characters" of Daphne and Simon, the Duke of Hastings.
  • Brownell told Variety in February that logistically the production wants to bring cast back "when we have something really meaty for them," avoiding minor appearances like "a line at a funeral."
  • Fans have publicly voiced disappointment about not seeing more of Simon's story, while recasts and book changes have raised concerns about other main characters on the Netflix series.
