"I knew, but yeah, I guess it is a spanner. But again, the show centers around the Bridgertons, and there are eight books."

Phoebe went on to say that she thinks the fans of the books were probably more aware of the so-called passing of the baton to different members of the family.

The actress did also make it a point to remind fans that the second season of the show was always meant to focus on Anthony Bridgerton, regardless of whether The Duke was present or not.

"I had no idea what we were filming, and I just worked my butt off and hoped for the best. I remember Johnny Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton) and I having conversations where we were like, what is this? Are people gonna get what we’re trying to do? Because it just feels so strange. And luckily, they did.”
