Spoilers for Act 2 of the stage manufacturing ofDepraved are forward! Learn with warning in case you don’t need to know what might occur earlier than the launch of Depraved: For Good in theaters.
Since Depraved has been on stage for over twenty years, what we’ll see on display screen when Depraved: For Good premieres on the 2025 film schedule gained’t be a shock for a lot of followers. So, after they noticed the trailer for the extremely anticipated sequel, they knew precisely what was occurring. Meaning, they have been fast to level out plot factors and parallels, which included one about Jonathan Bailey, Fiyero and Bridgerton that I can’t consider I didn’t discover.
In Act 2 of Depraved, it’s introduced that Glinda and Fiyero are engaged, and within the trailer for For Good, which you’ll be able to see beneath, it looks like we’ll get to see a marriage within the film. Nevertheless, the prince is harboring emotions for Elphaba, and you may see these blossoming within the first a part of the musical, too. So, Fiyero leaves Glinda and goes to assist Elphaba.
Sound acquainted? Effectively, within the beloved second season of Bridgerton, Bailey’s character Anthony pursues, proposes to and nearly marries Edwina Sharma. Nevertheless, he’s in love along with her older sister, Kate, and in the end, he doesn’t marry Charithra Chandran’s youthful sibling, and he finally ends up with Simone Ashley’s character.
So, with all that in thoughts, I’d wish to quote @tweetsricochet, who posted a photograph of Fiyero subsequent to a picture of Edwina and Anthony alongside the caption:
If there’s one factor we are able to at all times depend on Jonathan Bailey to do, it is to destroy his personal wedding ceremony by harboring a secret eager for his fiancee’s greatest pal
Pay attention, Kate and Anthony’s story is iconic, and I watch it over and over with my Netflix subscription, partially as a result of it’s so intense, excessive stakes and dramatic. A part of that’s because of the failed wedding ceremony of Anthony and Edwina.
Now, if Depraved is something like Bridgerton, we’ll be in for a complete lot of craving, pining, drama and possibly a failed wedding ceremony, as a result of as @StanHyareth posted:

Actually, it is a hilarious coincidence, particularly as a result of Bailey is greatest recognized for these two tasks particularly. This actually is a “if I had a nickel I’d have two nickels, however it’d be bizarre that I had two” state of affairs, and I’m loving the followers’ reactions to this realization. Listed here are a number of the highlights, all of which featured pictures of Bailey as each the Depraved prince and Bridgerton’s viscount:
- this precise factor occurred to my pal anthony bridgerton😭 –@loveliqspen
- If I had a nickle –@NoContxtBton
- Oh boy, once more?? 😭😭 –@leaftraveler
- one factor about jonathan bailey is he’s at all times gonna be craving for the lady he can’t have –@parkersjcnes
- at all times ready on the altar for the mistaken lady –@iris_bee_
Now, I’d like to go away you with my favourite of those reactions. As an enormous fan of Bridgerton, Anthony and Jonathan Bailey, this coincidence truthfully makes me blissful, blows my thoughts, and has me laughing. To cite @fiyercrows:
ugh jonny is gonna s2 anthony bridgerton the heck out of half 2 fiyero im so prepared for that YEARNING
Once more, as somebody who cannot await the subsequent season of Bridgerton and is the most important Anthony stan, I truthfully love this, and I can’t consider I didn’t put these items collectively myself.
It’s such a wild coincidence, and it’s humorous that Bailey may have performed into this trope twice in such huge tasks. Nevertheless, it’s additionally simply one other nice purpose to level out how fantastic these two tales are as we begin to get excited for Depraved: For Good’s November 21 launch.
