Plus, this new release is the perfect distraction before the new season hits Netflix in 2022. Although we are still not quite over Regé-Jean Page's departure from Bridgerton—even if avid readers of the series expected his exit—we're still anxious to see what the Regency romance is cookin' up, and Anthony Bridgerton will be in the spotlight. 

"The concept is that every season, there's a couple and that couple is the hot couple that you're falling in love with, right," director Shonda Rhimes told Entertainment Weekly (opens in new tab). "And there are eight Bridgertons."

We are certainly loyal to Simon, Duke of Hastings, but there are many steamy moments ahead that are going to be just as hot—we can pretty much guarantee it.
