Bridgerton Season 2 premieres March 25th and the trailer shows a scandalous love triangle of epic proportions!
Of course, Bridgerton is nothing but scandal (and that’s why we love it so).
But Season 2 takes it up a hot notch with even more furtive glances, deep sighs and a love triangle where duty, desire and scandal collide.
Quick, someone bring me a fan!
In the first episode, ‘Capital R Rake’, we follow Lord Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), the eldest Bridgerton sibling and Viscount, as he sets out on a mission to find a suitable wife.
His attention quickly lands on newcomer Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), but soon Anthony meets his match in Edwina’s headstrong older sister Kate (Simone Ashley).
It’s the classic tale of enemies to friends - and hopefully more - as Anthony endures a battle between duty and following his heart’s desire.
Check out the trailer:
And just like the first season, the high drama will come with a soundtrack of well-known songs covered in a classical style. Here’s the playlist to look forward to:
* Nirvana’s ‘Stay Away’, covered by Vitamin String Quartet
* Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’, covered by Kris Bowers
* Rihanna’s ‘Diamonds’, covered by Hannah V and Joe Rodwell
* Robyn’s ‘Dancing on My Own’, covered by Vitamin String Quartet
* Alanis Morissette’s ‘You Oughta Know’, covered by Duomo

The most bogan baby names of 2022 have been revealed and as expected there's a few that will leave the nation shamed and shocked.
Oh yeah, it's that time of the year when Kidspot releases Australia's top bogan baby names. And 2022's list is a doozy!
We didn't think anything could top last year's horrors, but this year's list has bewildered us with new creative lows as parents ruin children's names across the nation.
Ready to let us take you for a tour through these monstrosities? Deep breath...
Best girls names
Brexleigh
Wow, right from the start we’re lost for words. A nod to Brexit?
Iveighsee
Yep, ticks all the boxes for bogan baby name - take a nice name (Ivy), change its spelling and add random letters at the end.
Juul
Apparently this is a vape brand. We guess it’s classier than a cigarette brand… but not by much.
Kardi
Makes us think of cardigan. But apparently it’s a nod to rapper Cardi B. Maybe Cardi B in a cardigan?
Kior
When you can’t afford the expensive Dior handbag, you get a cheap knock-off. Just like this name.
Maevery
Sounds Irish, and Irish names are beautiful. This one just breaks out hearts.
Miraccle
A lot of babies are in fact miracles, but it’s been taken to bogan level by adding an extra c.
Resilia
Is that the plural of resilient? This kid will certainly need some resilience with this name.
Salmon
Prediction: this kid will grow up loving to swim and will become vegetarian by 3.
Samanda
Speaking of fish, this one reminds us of a Salamanda, which is basically a fish with legs. Okay, we see some connection here. But apparently this bogan beauty is a mash-up of Samantha and Amanda.
Best boys names
Brave
Well this seems alright. If you take on the quality of your name, then this kid will be fine. Except, Brave is also the name of a Disney Princess. But she’s kick-ass, so yeah, this kid will be fine.
Draven
Feels very much Game of Thrones. It’s also character from multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends who wields an axe. Maybe they should hang out with Brave.
Draxler
There’s a German soccer player called Julian Draxler, and having a last name as a first name is common. But still…
Kashdon
Kashdon will always be cashed up, or at least his parents hope he'll be.
Knoxlee
This kid will be growing up in the school of hard knocks.
Ledgen
So sort of a legend but not quite. Sorry son, but remember we still love you.
Maxon
It’s fun to take a perfectly good name like Max and just add on random letters. Next year, it’ll be Maxoff making the list, you just watch.
Roar
We work with a Rory and he’s a lovely guy and we call him Roar as a nickname. He’s fine with that because he never has to write Roar on official documents or answer it when the Barista calls his coffee... possibly with a loud roar.
Zaiken
It’ll be shortened to Zake, then Zed, maybe Zedman. It’s not going to end well.
Zinc
Girls have been named after semi-precious stones for ages - Ruby, Amber, crystal. But no, boys get named after a mineral. Chemistry class is going to be a hoot!
And exhale... we've made it through the list! If you're still squirming, don't worry... you've got a year to recover until the 2023 list comes out!

The force is strong with this new teaser trailer released by Disney+ today for "Obi-Wan Kenobi", arriving on the streaming service May 25. A date that also marks the 45th Anniversary of the original Star Wars: A New Hope film released in cinemas.
The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
The series sees Ewan McGregor, reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader.
Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” is directed by Deborah Chow and executive-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor and Joby Harold
