Bridgerton Season 1 & 2 soundtrack: The definitive guide to all songs in the first two seasons

One of the major reasons how Bridgerton maintains the essence of its historical fiction-romance narrative is its melodious soundtrack. The thing that the series does differently from the others is that it features not the original songs but the instrumental renditions of them by musicians, including Vitamin String Quartet, Duomo, Kris Bowers, and more.

However, besides the renditions, the first season of Bridgerton also features songs from Celeste Sufjan Stevens, while the second mostly includes classical music. As per the showrunner, Chris Van Dusen, the musical choice depended on making the show feel different than the other period dramas, which he revealed in an interview with Marie Claire.

Plot summary

On Rotten Tomatoes, Bridgerton is rated Fresh at 82%, having a weighted average score of 7 out of 10. Here’s how the review aggregator describes the series:

"Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London’s competitive marriage market. Hoping to follow in her parent’s footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne’s prospects initially seem to be unrivaled."

It further explains Lady Whistledown’s derogatory remarks about Daphne:

"But as her older brother begins to rule out her potential suitors, the high society scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown casts aspersions on Daphne. Enter the highly desirable and rebellious Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), committed bachelor and the catch of the season for the debutantes’ mamas."

It ends with:

"Despite proclaiming that they want nothing the other has to offer, their attraction is undeniable and sparks fly as they find themselves engaged in an increasing battle of wits while navigating society’s expectations for their future."
