After what’s felt like the longest social season yet, Bridgerton Season 4 Part 2 has finally arrived…and it was worth the wait.

This week on Streamline, we’re joined by Bridgerton star Daniel Francis, who spills the tea on Marcus and Violet’s steamy romance, what it’s actually like filming intimate scenes, and the softer masculinity at the heart of the Ton.

We unpack Violet and Marcus’s second-chance romance, the show’s approach to consent and representation, and why desire over 40 feels quietly radical in an industry obsessed with first loves.
