WhenBridgertonstar Rege-Jean Page announced he was leavingthe runaway Netflix hit, audiences were stunned.
Just what would we do without our beloved Duke of Hastings?
Many have also wondered why the star would choose to walk away from such a massive role.
“It’s a one-season arc.
It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end give us a year.
[I thought] ‘That’s interesting,’ because then it felt like a limited series.
However, it’s possible that the producers weren’t sure how bigBridgertonwould really be.
Rhimes explained toVanity Fairthat waiting to find out was like being back in school.
“I was holding my breath, because I’m always holding my breath about everything.
Like are we going to stay straight-A students?”
Now that the series has become the most successful from Netflix to date, they can definitely relax.
Rhimes also shared that the success of the show madeRege-Jean Page’s choice to leaveall the more surprising.
Like, we didn’t kill him, he’s still alive!
What would be the ever-after of this combo?
I mean, really: What would Rege-Jean do, you know what I mean?
We gave them their happily ever after!
And now we have this next couple coming” (viaVanity Fair).
