The second season will focus on the eldest Bridgerton, Anthony, played by Jonathan Bailey and the Sharma sisters; Kate (played by Simone Ashley) and Edwina (played by Charithra Chandran).
The cover will be used to pay homage to the Sharma sisters' ethnic background on the show. For Indian music lovers across the world, the cover will also be a tribute to the Nightingale of India Lata Mangeshkar, who breathed her last in February this year.
Lata Mangeshkar died on February 6 due to Covid-19 and left a hole in the hearts of fans everywhere. (READ MORE HERE: Lata Mangeshkar dies at 92 in Mumbai: 15 facts from her life)
