It’s likely that season two will pick up right where season one left off. During the first season’s finale, Anthony struggled to cope with his grief when his romance with opera singer Siena ended. He informed Daphne and Simon of his plan to locate a suitable viscountess after concluding that love was nothing more than a cruel diversion. Rather than following his love, Anthony intends to marry in order to fulfill his responsibilities as the new patriarch of the family.
