Bridgerton<\/a>\u2019s creative team still burns for Phoebe Dynevor and Reg\u00e9-Jean Page.<\/p>\n

Following the actors\u2019 respective exits from the Netflix<\/a> historical romance series\u2014Reg\u00e9 departed the role of<\/a> Simon Basset after season one, while Phoebe portrayed his wife Daphne Bridgerton through season three\u2014showrunner Jess Brownell dismissed the idea of bringing in new actors to continue the characters\u2019 storylines.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not interested in recasting the characters,\u201d she told Variety<\/a> in an interview published Feb. 26. \u201cI think it would feel like a disservice to everything Reg\u00e9 and Phoebe set up in season one, and all the beautiful work they put into those characters.\u201d<\/p>\n

As such, the Inventing Anna producer insisted the door is open for Phoebe, 30, and Reg\u00e9, 38, to reprise their roles in future seasons\u2014as long as the story warrants their return.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would love to potentially have them back at some point,\u201d she continued, \u201cbut I think, logistically, we want to make sure we bring them back when we have something really meaty for them. And to have them come back to say a line at a funeral and just prove that they were there, it wouldn\u2019t feel right for many reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This story contains spoilers for part two of\u00a0Bridgerton\u00a0season four.
