According to the synopsis: ‘Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.’
As well as a whole host of familiar faces returning, the Shondaland production will also see Daniel Francis, Sam Phillips, and James Phoon join the cast this season.
Francis will play Marcus Anderson, a charismatic presence who attracts the notice of certain matriarchs in the ton and annoyance from others.
Phillips will portray Lord Debling, a genial lord with unusual interests who has wealth and a noble title to back up his eccentricities and a long line of young romantic interests.
