Simon Basset's presence in the Bridgerton books wanes as the series continues, so it makes sense that his character would not be included in the show after season 1. However, in a November 2021 interview with British GQ, when asked if he could return as Simon, Page said, " You know I couldn't tell you! Isn't there something wonderful about being surprised by what you weren't suspecting?" After an official Instagram announcement that Page would not be returning as Simon Basset, the actor, in an April 2021 interview with Variety magazine, said his involvement in Bridgerton was always intended to be "a one-season arc."

We were quite happy with how we’d stuck the landing on that one. Shonda and I had a wonderful conversation at the end of Season 1.

While I’m sure that everyone who was involved in Bridgerton Season 1 hoped it would be well-received, I bet few people expected the romantic Regency adaptation to become the major hit that it did when it first debuted.
