Regé-Jean Page is set to guest host Saturday Night Live on February 20.

Fans will undoubtedly be expecting him to parody the Shondaland series during his hosting stint on Saturday. 

Big deal: Regé-Jean Page is set to guest host Saturday Night Live on February 20

The actor has seen his star rise since he took on the role of Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings in the Netflix romantic drama.   

He is currently nominated for a SAG Award and a NAACP Image Award while he has also been speculated as a future James Bond.  

Regé-Jean made his first TV appearance in 2004, but has only in recent years hit the big time – first in the US mini-series Roots, then in the American legal drama For The People.

It comes after Bridgerton was officially renewed by Netflix for series 2 after weeks of speculation.

The second season will focus on Anthony Bridgerton’s (Jonathan Bailey) quest to find a wife after his turbulent love life was played out in the first series.

Bridgerton follows the self-titled family and how their lives are turned upside-down by the revelations of the illusive and anonymous Lady Whistledown in London.

‘This author has been reliably informed that Lord Anthony Bridgerton intends to dominate the social season. I will have my pen to report on any and all of his romantic activities.

‘However, gentle reader, before you set the comments section alight with requests for more sordid details, know that I am disinclined to report on the particulars at this time. Patience, after all, is a virtue. Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown.’
