Regé-Jean Page, the target of the internet’s thirst all winter, who played the Duke of Hastings on Bridgerton, will not be returning for Season 2 of the horny period drama.

“We bid adieu to Regé-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings,” said Netflix in a letter posted on Instagram, written by Lady Whistledown, the mysterious columnist from the town's gossip newsletter. “We’ll miss Simon’s presence onscreen, but he will always be a part of the Bridgerton family.”
