In what is potentially the best news ever for fans of the popular period drama Victoria, a familiar face will be rejoining star Jenna Coleman this season. Rufus Sewell, who played the generally swoon-worthy Lord Melbourne will be back for Season 2.

Yes, dreams can come true, y’all.

Sewell played Lord M for the first five episodes of Victoria’s first season, and the doomed, largely historically inaccurate romance between the queen and her first Prime Minister was a pretty major plot point. (Seriously, these two were about five minutes from becoming a Bronte novel.)
