Bridgerton breakout Rege-Jean Page, along with his producing partner (and girlfriend) Emily Brown, have found their next project: an adaptation of Elissa Sussman’s 2022 book “Funny You Should Ask” for Apple.

The pair will executive produce the TV series, with the 37-year-old actor also eyed to star.

Here’s the synopsis, per Deadline: “Funny You Should Ask is a love story that centers on a restless young journalist with big dreams who interviews a Hollywood heartthrob – and then reunites with him ten years later to discover exactly how he feels about her.”

The “Hollywood heartthrob” is the role eyed by Rege-Jean at this time, but there’s also a fun James Bond connection. In the book, the character is the next 007! Many fans have hoped Rege-Jean will actually be the next choice to play James Bond after Daniel Craig stepped away from the role in 2021. The next Bond has not been revealed just yet, but his name is very often included in most-likely to land the role-lists.

This role would be his first TV role since exiting Bridgerton. You can find out why he opted never to return to Bridgerton here.
