This Is Why Carole Prentice Was Honored In The 'Bridgerton' Finale
Bridgerton Season 2 premiered Friday, March 25, on Netflix.
The finale was dedicated to the show's line producer Carole Prentice.
Prentice passed away in January at age 61 and was a big fan of the show.
On Friday, the highly-anticipated season 2 of Bridgerton was released on Netflix. As expected, the period drama quickly secured the number 1 spot in popularity across the board, and it doesn't seem to be moving anytime soon.
The finale wrapped up the messy yet addicting storyline of Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) and Anthony Bridgerton (Johnathan Bailey) swiftly, leaving the door open for all the unanswered questions to be addressed in season 3.
In the first episode of the season, a memorial was also left for Emmy winner Marc Pilcher, who worked as a makeup artist and hairstylist for season 1. But if you were one of the many fans who managed to watch all eight episodes over the weekend, you may have noticed a small but important detail before the credits rolled during the finale.
Following the closing scene, the words “In Memory of Carole Prentice” appeared, leaving viewers with questions about the special dedication. Here's everything there is to know about the Bridgerton alum.
Who was Carole Prentice, and what was her role on Bridgerton?
Throughout her career, Prentice worked as a line producer and worked on projects like Star Trek Beyond, Young Ones, and Momentum, as listed on IMDb. She was also a life coach and lived in South Africa and Dubai before moving to a houseboat in England, per Metro UK.
As for her work on Bridgerton, Prentice had an essential role, but not one you could see on screen. She served as their Covid production manager for season 2 and was a big fan of the show prior to landing the job.
ICYMI, season 2 began filming in March and had to shut down briefly due to the pandemic before resuming in July. Odds are Prentice played a significant role in keeping everyone on set safe throughout production.
She passed away in January 2022.
Prentice passed away on January 26, 2022, at age 61, following complications from surgery. Her son and only child Sebastian Prentice revealed to Metro that the suddenness of her death "took everyone by surprise," adding that she was "very full of energy and full of life up until she passed away."
He has also shared several posts honoring his mother on Instagram. In his most recent video for her, he stated, "Missed you extra this week. You live on through me and through everyone whose lives you touched. 2 months since you moved on, feels like an eternity."
Her son is writing a book about her life.
Sebastian told Metro that he plans on trying to help others the way his mother did by writing serval books about her. His plans include a biography of her life and a self-help book titled: Carolism: Lessons From a Single Mum.
