Hold on, hold on, hold on, did Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey just confirm Benophie’s wedding will be happening on-screen? In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bailey revealed some about his journey in the Regency Era Netflix series inspired by the works of Julia Quinn. The actor says, at the time of the interview, “I was filming a wedding on a Monday morning.” Before he spoils too much, Bailey says, “people know that people get married in Bridgerton — that’s not a spoiler, right?” While the actor didn’t expressly say that the wedding would be the one anticipated between Luke Thompson’s Benedict Bridgerton and Yerin Ha’s Sophie Baek, the timing has fans hedging their bets.
Bailey also assured fans, once again, after the confirmation that he and Simone Ashley were returning to Season 4 as the Viscount and Viscountess Bridgerton, that he’ll return to the show for as long as they’ll have him. “I’ve never been someone who’s like, ‘Thanks, bye.’ It’s not in my nature.” Bailey has confirmed that for this season, “there’s a real sense of brotherly pride I feel in it.” Bailey plays the oldest of a total of eight siblings, the majority of which are returning to for the fourth season.
If Benophie’s Wedding Is Confirmed, It’s a Change from the Books
Season 4 of Bridgerton is based on the third book in the series: An Offer From a Gentleman. In the Cinderella-inspired book, we see our couple, Benedict and Sophie, get their happily ever after, but the main story ends before fans actually see the couple tie the knot. There’s instead, an quiet and intimate scene between Benedict and Sophie where they declare they’ve long since felt like husband and wife, in their hearts. But, if the wedding Bailey spilled the beans about is indeed between Benedict and Sophie, that means we’d actually get to see it depicted on screen. It wouldn’t be the first time, this has happened either, with fans getting the chance to see the wedding between Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) and Sir John Stirling (Victor Alli) when that happens off-page in the books. However, the on-screen wedding would mean that Anthony (Bailey) and Kate’s (Ashley) wedding was the only one to happen off-screen between the main Bridgerton couples. If that’s the case, could we maybe get a flashback in Season 5?
You can watch all three seasons of Bridgerton now on Netflix. Season 4 debuts in 2026. Stay with Collider for the latest updates.
