Well her story was basically over after Season 1, so it's not a huge loss

Yeah, I get it, but I'm a little surprised Netflix can't snag the actors with "finished plotlines" for a few cameos here and there, to at least make the world feel like those elder siblings who are now married don't just stop existing.

Those actors are probably moving on to other projects, where there would pay likely be scheduling conflicts.

Rege Jean Page knew that signing on to other shit instead of making cameos on this show was the move. You have like 10 minutes to capitalize on your fame and that’s it. Sticking around would only hurt your career.

Netflix behaves like old Hollywood studios with regular players. Popular actors in their shows tend to get opportunities in other Netflix shows/movies when they stick around.

If the movie is a flop, but gets decent reviews, the industry will blame Chris Pine, not Regé-Jean Page.

Because Regé-Jean Page isn't an established movie actor.

If the movie is a succes, he'll get a bunch of job offers out of that.

He was never going to play a big part in the second season of Bridgerton.

Eh, if the movie is forgettable and he hasn't signed on more since, he too will be...

I just spit water all over my iPad. Well received by WHOM? DnD fans were trashing it even before the OGL apocalypse, and Normies have been as indifferent to it as any other late winter/early spring release.
Opening weekend might not be horrible thanks to Chris Pine fans, but after that it's toast.

Keeping them in contract for x years get expensive. Most actors also want to move to other roles without being pigeonholed to one for too long.
