If you read the Bridgerton Books you’d know they move on to the next romance. He wasn’t meant to be in the next season

[shaneishawarren]

Logical, we understand not wanted to be stuck in just one role but it's sad that we won't ever see the duke again. You will be missed Simon.

[laughtoday-hkrg]

It would have made "series" sense for him to have been in S2 to interact a little and help his long standing best friend who was looking for a wife. The banter between the two of them would have been super and so on point, like the male version of what Daphne did.

[cleodmr]

In an interview after season one. He said he'd only signed on for one season to begin with. He had no intention of returning. He felt he'd "stuck the landing" with season one. He sure did.

[spiritofanu]

I still wish he would return for a few cameos. He was magic that first season. Honestly, I have not seen a lot of him on the screen since. What has he been doing? No disrespect. Perhaps I have just missed him.

[abbyefalkner]

You really spent 8 minutes rephrasing one statement…

[vanaphill]

I thought it strange in Bridgerton season two that as Anthony contemplated marriage that his best friend the Duke of Hasting was not by his side. Nor his friend the barkeep was missing his friend the Duke as well.

[asktheupgrade]

His breakout role was in the 2016 remake of “ROOTS”
- where he portrayed “Chicken George”, a huge role that led to the
- 2018-2019 TV series “For The People” (CANCELLED after 2 seasons) and then
- 2020 “Bridgerton”, another breakout role, but NOT his first. He didn’t want to tie himself down to another TV role, as he felt he paid his dues and preferred going from project to project, as movie stardom was what he was seeking and is currently achieving in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (2023)

[kimberlyjoseph]

Bridgerton will never be the same without him and Daphne...
So far it's my favorite ...

[kimcoates]

Hopefully, Page knows not to despise the day of small things. Sure, he told his part of the story but an occasional cameo would demonstrate his appreciation of the break that he was given. Humility goes a long way if he wants to be respected.

[malestorm]

Hum, while his statements are logical. I think they will be a professional misstep. You're only as good as your last role. And D&D was a box office flop, and Regé-Jean Page was barely in it! I don't see any upcoming roles on IMDB. Yes, moving to different projects avoids type cast, but staying in one role long enough to solidify your name is also important. Doing one season of a show and then running off to do other things can come off as disloyal. Add the fact Hollywood is focused on franchises casting agent might wonder will this guy stay around. Who cares if the character isn't featured in the books anymore, if they want you and will write for you the smart move would be to stay. Regé-Jean Page and Henry Cavill might regret walking away from Netflix in the end.

[aquanettajohnson]

I will miss the character's Simon & Daphne!!! BRAVO to those 2 actors ❤❤❤.
No other romance can come close to their performances!!!❤❤❤. I wish them the Best!

The Duke doesn't feature in any of the other books... So it makes sense.

[ellicel]

It's possible that his future career ambitions are for movies and not series. He may also not want to be associated with romcoms, which studios aren't making a lot of these days. Plus, his Bridgerton fame focused a lot on his looks, which he may not want as he moves on. I'm sure he's aware that the limelight can be short lived and he is not in a position to take even a few weeks off to go in a direction that's not aligned with his future goals. People may have loved him in the role, but maybe this wasn't HIS dream job. Surely we can't begrudge someone following what he believes is best for him

[OfficiallyEvita]

DON’T LIE. If you read the books you know he wasn’t needed moving forward with future seasons.

[StellMoorhouse]

It just would be so nice to see a cameo of him each season after the first but he's my pick for Bond, for sure. I really like him. He has an air about him that is so attractive, and I'm 71!!

[janetclaireSays]

Season 1 was like a large screen feature film. Season 2 was like a made for tv series.

[yvonnelatoya]

He shouldn't be in subsequent seasons. Each book is about a different sibling. The Duke just happened to be the first book.

[MARYAM]

I liked bridgerton

He definitely made it better

[nancicampbell]

His recent jobs – The Gray Man and D&D were so disappointing. So far, his best role has been Bridgerton. That role stretched his acting ability - he was great. Will always miss him.
