Amid a rapidly spiking Delta-driven surge of coronavirus cases in Britain, the second season of the Netflix series “Bridgerton” halted filming for the second time in three days, after someone involved with the production tested positive for the coronavirus. A spokeswoman for Netflix declined to identify whether it was a cast or crew member who had tested positive, but said the individual was now isolating. Production on the popular Regency-era drama, which is set and filmed in the United Kingdom, has been paused indefinitely, Deadline first reported on Saturday. Filming on the show, which is based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels, was halted for the first time on Thursday for 24 hours after a crew member tested positive. Everyone working on the series was tested, and no cast members were affected.
