The 'Sex Education' star is set to play Anthony Bridgerton's newest love interest, Kate Sharma, in "Bridgerton" Season 2.

While the Duke and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/phoebe-dynevor-bridgerton-actress-interview" target="_blank">Duchess of Hastings</a> are off tending to adorable children and beautiful land, the show must go on in Bridgerton&#39;s&nbsp;London. In the Shondaland&nbsp;series&#39; <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/bridgerton-season-2-netflix-anthony-bridgerton-simon-bassett" target="_blank">newest season</a>,&nbsp;eager fans will follow Anthony Bridgerton on his quest to find a suitable wife. Enter Simone Ashely, the Sex Education standout star who has been selected&nbsp;to be Bridgerton&#39;s newest female lead, Kate Sharma. The union of Anthony and Kate is not bound to be easy, as her character is described&nbsp;as a &quot;smart and&nbsp;headstrong woman,&quot; but audiences are already eager to see their love story ensue.&nbsp;

Following the first successful season led by L&#39;OFFICIEL star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/phoebe-dynevor-bridgerton-actress-interview" target="_blank">Phoebe Dynevor</a> and Reg&eacute;-Jean Page,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bridgerton-jewelry-trends" target="_blank">Bridgerton&rsquo;s</a> second season is based on&nbsp;author Julia Quinn&rsquo;s sophomore book in the saga on which the show is based,&nbsp;The Viscount Who Loved Me,&nbsp;but it&nbsp;is not promised to follow the exact same plotline. Since the completion of the viral show&#39;s first season, fans have been left wondering about&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bridgerton-netflix-actress-nicola-coughlan-makes-instagram-runway-fashion" target="_blank">Lady Whistledown&#39;s</a> motives, the status of the Featherington family, and the Duke and Duchess&#39; new life together. If we&#39;re lucky, Season 2&nbsp;will give loyal&nbsp;viewers some&nbsp;much-needed answers with a side of Bridgerton&#39;s signature <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/bridgerton-raunchiest-moments-sexy" target="_blank">sex appeal</a>.
