Season 1 focused on Daphne\u2019s unexpected connection with Simon.<\/p>\n<p>After the show premiered, viewers fell in love with Page, 38, and his character, which made his departure that much more shocking. Netflix announced in April 2021 that Page would not be reprising his role as the Duke of Hastings despite plans for Daphne to appear in future seasons.<\/p>\n<p>That same month, Page noted that Simon had always been pitched to him as a condensed role, telling Variety, \u201cIt\u2019s a one-season arc. It\u2019s going to have a beginning, middle, end \u2014 give us a year. [I thought] \u2018That\u2019s interesting,\u2019 because then it felt like a limited series.
