WHAT’S NEW ON NETFLIX “Bridgerton” - Season 2

The social season is upon us once again, which means more salacious romances and rumors when the hit Regency-era drama “Bridgerton” premieres its second season on Friday, March 25, on Netflix. While Season 1 set screens aflame with the tumultuous romance between Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor, “Dickensian”) and Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page, “For The People”), Season 2 switches gears to focus on the love life of another of the eight Bridgerton siblings. Based on the second book in the Bridgerton series of novels by Julie Quinn, “The Viscount Who Loved Me,” this new season looks to the love life of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey, “Broadchurch”), the eldest of the family’s children. Following a heartbreaking split from his secret lover in the first season, Anthony is now out to marry for anything but love. Setting his sights on the diamond of the season, Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran, “Alex Rider”), the story becomes all the more complicated when Edwina’s sister, Kate (Simone Ashley, “Sex Education”), steps into the equation. From Shondaland Productions and executive producers Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and Chris Van Dusen of “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “Private Practice,” the series is directed by Tom Verica (“Scandal”), Tricia Brock (“Saving Grace”) and Alex Pillai (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”). While Season 1 heartthrob Page will not be returning for the new season, fans will see the on-screen return of Dynevor, Nicola Coughlan (“Derry Girls”), Ruth Gemmell (“Fever Pitch,” 1997), Florence Hunt (“Cursed”), Claudia Jessie (“Line of Duty”), Luke Newton (“The Lodge”), Luke Thompson (“Dunkirk,” 2017), Will Tilston (“Goodbye Christopher Robin,” 2018), Polly Walker (“Mr. Selfridge”), Adjoa Andoh (“Fractured,” 2019), Golda Rosheuvel (“Dune,” 2021), Joanna Bobin (“Gunpowder Milkshake,” 2021), Kathryn Drysdale (“The Windsors”), Jessica Madsen (“Leatherface,” 2017), Emma Naomi (“Professor T”), Harriet Cains (“Marella”) and Bessie Carter (“Beecham House”).

“Tomorrow” - Season 1

Look to the future with the new Korean drama series “Tomorrow,” premiering Friday, March 25, on Netflix. The 16-episode season releases new episodes weekly on Fridays and Saturdays, unfolding the story over eight weeks on the streamer. Choi Joon-woong (Kim Ro-woon, “The King’s Affection”) seems to have everything going for him with his wealthy family and prestigious education, but no matter what he does, he can’t seem to find a job. When Choi happens upon a pair of grim reapers, Goo Ryun (Kim Hee-seon, “The Lady in Dignity”) and Im Ryung Goo (Yoon Ji-on, “Monthly Magazine Home”), one night, he becomes a young contract worker in their department. On a special mission to aid in suicide prevention, Goo Ryun and Im Ryung Goo welcome Choi into their crisis management team of death angels. Based on the web comics by Ra Ma, the series is directed by Kim Tae-yoon (“Mr. Zoo: The Missing VIP,” 2020). Lee Soo-hyuk (“Born Again”), Kim Chae-eun (“Growing Season”), Kal So-won (“Mr. Zoo: The Missing VIP,” 2020), Kang Seung-yoon (“Kairos”) and new talent Moon Seo-youn also star in the series.

Netflix keeps the love coming this month with the new Japanese romance film “Love Like the Falling Petals” (alternately titled “My Dearest, Like a Cherry Blossom” in some regions), available on the streaming platform as of Thursday, March 24. As aspiring photog-

But when a strange and rare disease overtakes Misaki, everything starts changing right before their eyes. Based on the novel “Sakura no Yona Boku no Koibito” by Keisuke Uyama (“Color Me True,” 2018), the film is produced by Kei Haruna (“After the Rain,” 2018) and Takahiro Kawada (“Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles,” 2005), directed by Yoshihiro Fukagawa (“Things You Can Tell by Looking at Them”) and written by Uyama and Tomoko Yoshida (“My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday,” 2016).

But when three outlaws take a prominent local doctor hostage, Watts is called in to defuse the situation before the FBI arrives. As the town mayor (Timothy V. Murphy, “Snowpiercer”) pushes Watts to take drastic action, the sheriff realizes he may be a pawn in a larger scheme and he sets out on a bloody path to expose the town’s dark secrets.
