The highly-anticipated second season of Bridgerton<\/a> arrived on Netflix today (25th March) with the period drama moving away from the love story between the Duke and Daphne to focus on Anthony Bridgerton\u2019s (Jonathan Bailey) search for a wife.<\/p>\n

While fans will undoubtedly be excited to return to the regency era ton in episode 1, many will notice that season 2 pays tribute to Marc Pilcher before the credits for Capital R Rake begin to roll.<\/p>\n

Who was Marc Pilcher and how was the make-up artist connected to the Netflix show? Here\u2019s everything we know about the Emmy winner.<\/p>

Marc Pilcher was a British hair stylist and make-up artist who worked on a number of hit shows, including Bridgerton.<\/p>\n

He died at the age of 53 in September 2021 after testing positive for COVID-19, just weeks after winning an Emmy for Outstanding Hairstyling for his work on Bridgerton\u2019s first season.<\/p>\n

Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington on the show, paid tribute to the award-winning stylist on Twitter at the time, writing: \u201cSo heartbroken by the loss of Marc Pilcher, the brilliant and visionary hair and makeup designer for Bridgerton season one.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarc was so passionate about his work and so tremendously talented. Not even a month ago he won his first Emmy award. It\u2019s a tragedy that he\u2019s been taken so young when he had so much yet to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over his 18-year career, Pilcher worked on Foyle\u2019s War, Silent Witness, Cranford, The Young Victoria, My Week with Marilyn, Downton Abbey, Star Wars: Episode VII \u2013 The Force Awakens, Suffragette, Macbeth, Beauty and the Beast, Rogue One, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Judy and Mary Queen of Scots, for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.<\/p>\n

The last film he worked on before his death was The King\u2019s Man<\/a>, which starred Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Rhys Ifans.<\/p>\n
