Is there anything more iconic than the rain-soaked romance in Bridgerton season 2? Honestly, it’s hard to think of anything. The memorable scene between Kate Sharma (played by Simone Ashley) and Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) has become a fan favorite, and now, Ashley is giving us a peek behind the scenes to show how they made that unforgettable moment come to life.
In a recent interview with US Weekly, Ashley shared that filming that scene wasn’t as glamorous as it appeared. “It took a while,” she confessed, remembering the behind-the-scenes process. “From what I remember—because that was years ago—it involved a lot of hair dryers, and you just commit to it.” The rain, the intensity of the moment, and the emotional connection between the characters were all carefully crafted, and the actors were fully committed to making it look and feel as authentic as possible.
Ashley also emphasized the dedication she and Bailey had to get the shot right. “We just wanted to look as amazing and believable as we could be. So, rain or no rain, we just committed to it,” she said, showing how much effort went into bringing that powerful scene to life.
Season 2 of Bridgerton, based on Julia Quinn’s novel The Viscount Who Loved Me, continues to be a favorite among fans, and the chemistry between Ashley and Bailey is a big part of why people keep coming back. Fans were thrilled to see the pair return for this season, and they’re in for even more excitement because it’s been confirmed that Kate and Anthony will be back in season 4 of Bridgerton.
Ashley couldn’t contain her excitement when talking about the upcoming season. “I’m really excited for the world to see this season. It just gets better and better,” she shared, although she wasn’t allowed to spoil too much. One interesting tidbit she did mention was that the show, along with other projects, uses intimacy coordinators to ensure that actors feel safe and prepared for intimate scenes. She compared them to choreographers, noting that they make sure everyone knows what to expect and feels comfortable.
As fans eagerly await the next season of Bridgerton, the suspense is surely building. But while we wait, there’s no better time to revisit the earlier seasons on Netflix and relive the magic of Kate and Anthony’s love story.
