BRIDGERTON’s stars have promised the new series is a bonkbuster after last year’s flaccid effort.
Phoebe Dynevor, 27, and Rege-Jean Page’s steamy action helped the drama’s debut score record ratings.
But the sequel starring Jonathan Bailey, 34, and Simone Ashley, 27, which aired last March, left fans gagging for more phwoar.
Now Bridgerton’s newest stars, who appear in spin-off series Queen Charlotte, have promised their love story will finally satisfy viewers’ demands.
Leading lady India Amarteifio, 21, said: “They have 15 children… so that’s kind of how it works!
“I think Bridgeton is known for having beautiful storytelling. Whether that’s dance scenes, whether that’s bedroom scenes, there’s love in the show and expect to see romance in all its forms.”

Asked if fans would be satisfied, King George actor Corey Mylchreest, 24, said: “Very simply, yeah!”
He added: “All of those scenes are incredible, they all mean something.
"They’re all very in tune with progressing a story.”
The new series, which comes to Netflix on May 4, covers Queen Charlotte’s backstory as she meets and marries King George, so largely features a brand new cast.

But characters from the regular Bridgerton timeline feature in flash forward scenes, including the older Queen (Golda Rosheuvel) older Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoa) and Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmel).
Each series of the Regency romp focuses on a different couple’s love story.
Series one saw Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke of Hastings sizzle in a string of eye popping sex scenes, including one against a ladder in her family’s library.
Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma’s love affair in series two, however, was a slow burner with just one moment of intimacy near the finale.
A TV insider said: “Fans made their feelings very clear after the second series – they wanted more ballsy, sexy scenes and less subtle smouldering.
“It sounds like Netflix and producers Shondaland have listened.”
Viewers’ distaste was not reflected in streaming records for the series, but many took to social media to moan.
Bridgerton has been streamed a total 1.28bn times on Netflix, holding the third and fourth places on the platform’s most watched list.
