'Bridgerton's' Phoebe Dynevor Faces the Cost of Success In the Trailer for Netflix Thriller 'Fair Play'

Though we won’t see the new Duchess of Hastings when period drama Bridgerton returns for its third season, star Phoebe Dynevor won’t be a stranger to Netflix viewers this Fall. The actress, who played eldest daughter Daphne Bridgerton in the series’ breakout first season, is starring in the buzzy thriller Fair Play, a film about relationships, gender politics, and the misogyny at the heart of much of corporate America.

Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich (Oppenheimer) play Emily and Luke, respectively, both successful financial analysts whose steamy relationship is a secret from their colleagues and forbidden by their mutual employer. But when one of them gets an unexpected promotion, the fallout threatens to tear apart more than their recent engagement.

As Emily works to prove herself in a male-dominated world and Luke struggles with jealousy over his fiancee’s success, things between the pair take a dark and potentially dangerous turn as their relationship is pushed to the brink. As the two seem to consider turning on one another explores the destructive gender dynamics and unsettling boundaries of ambition in a rapidly changing world.
