Star lifts the curtain on new series of Bridgerton

Nicola Coughlan has said fans will get to “see behind the curtain” of her character in the much-anticipated second season of Bridgerton.

The actress, 35, returns as Penelope Featherington in the Netflix period drama next month. She told Claudia Winkleman’s BBC Radio 2 show: “In series one she’s a shy, retiring wallflower, and then series two you go, ‘Oh, she’s got all this new stuff going on.’ It was extremely fun to film.”
