• Regé-Jean Page is not returning to "Bridgerton" for season two.
• Co-star Nicola Coughlan teased fans by responding with a cryptic message.
• "Season One was just the tip of the Bridgerton iceberg, just you wait to see what we have in store," she tweeted.

The news that "Bridgerton" break-out star Regé-Jean Page will not be returning to the hit Netflix drama for season two has shocked many fans.

On Friday, Netflix and Shondaland announced a letter from Lady Whistledown, the gossip column writer in the Regency-era drama.

The actor, who played the Duke of Hastings, Simon Basset, only ever signed a one-season contract, Insider's Claudia Willen reported.

Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, followed the announcement with a tweet suggesting there's a lot more drama to come.

"Season One was just the tip of the Bridgerton iceberg, just you wait to see what we have in store... And you can trust me, I would know after all," she wrote.

Although some fans of the TV show have expressed their shock and disappointment at the news, those who have read Julia Quinn's books on which the show is based aren't surprised, according to Willen.

Season two of "Bridgerton" is set to follow the love life of Anthony Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey.

In February, Bailey told Entertainment Weekly that fans could expect a lot in the next season.

"There's so many brilliant characters that have got so much going on, so my tease would be enjoy your year and don't get comfy and thinking you know what's going to happen. We'll all be back for more romance, hopefully, next Christmas, maybe further away," he said.
