Bridgerton's Regé-Jean Page to lead 'erotic' Netflix thriller
Bridgerton's breakout star will also executive produce the new series.
Bridgerton fans were heartbroken when they discovered Regé-Jean Page would not be returning to the Netflix period drama as the Duke of Hastings, after he became a global heartthrob.
Fortunately, the 007 favourite will be returning to the streaming platform in a series described by Tudum as an "erotic thriller", and it is currently in development.
The Emmy nominee and Black Bag star will play a member of Los Angeles high society whose family is struggling to hold onto their status in the series, called Hancock Park.
The show is also executive-produced by the Bridgerton star, through his production company A Mighty Stranger.
Hancock Park is an "erotic thriller that follows a dangerously charismatic outsider, who invades the lives of a seemingly picture-perfect Los Angeles family when he rents their backyard guest house".

Yet as he ventures further into their world, the façade of this elite community begins to fall away as he "exposes the desire, deceit, and obsession that lurks around every corner of one of LA’s most-coveted neighborhoods".
No other casting information has been shared yet, and a release date is yet to be announced, but work is underway on the exciting new project.
According to Deadline, the British actor's latest venture was fought over by three major streamers, with Netflix ultimately snapping up the title.
The star shared the update on his official Instagram account, which added: "According to sources, it has been put on an accelerated development track with a script-to-series commitment."
Fans flocked to the comments to share their thoughts, with butterflybearthworks saying: "Erotic? Oh I'm seated!"
Page.regejeanfan added: "Already fanning myself over here!" Following his role in Bridgerton, he went on to star in the films The Gray Man and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
Hancock Park marks his first role in a TV drama since Bridgerton, in an exciting move for the 37-year-old star.
He hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in 2021 and narrated a documentary called Surviving Paradise: A Family Tale.
Page has been keeping busy in the world of film, and has been working on a new project titled You, Me & Tuscany alongside Halle Bailey, which will be out in April 2026.
