“Bridgerton” Season 4 ended with a wedding — as long as you didn’t stop it before that post-credits scene rolled. If you did, we will wait here for you, gentle viewer, while you go see the happily ever after ending to Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), who marry at their cottage estate following a season of forbidden upstairs/downstairs love.

Shonda Rhimes’ Netflix period romance has skipped a wedding before — Kate and Anthony’s in Season 2 — to focus on a different intimate moment, but in this case, “Bridgerton” Season 4 showrunner Jess Brownell explained the fairytale twist of Sophie and Benedict kissing in the gazebo where they first met at the masquerade ball, now unmasked and engaged, deserved to be the official end of their love story.

“So the wedding was not initially a post-credits scene,” Brownell told Variety. “Well, that’s not true. In past seasons, we’ve done this thing where we fade to black and then we very quickly come up for a tag of the season. And that’s how we initially had it. But when Shonda and I got into post, we both felt like the ending of the season pre-tag was so magical and full of so much romance that it felt like we just wanted a moment to breathe and let it settle before one more romantic gift. It almost felt like a hat on a hat. But we really wanted to keep in this beautiful wedding that we shot. We also thought it would be fun for the die-hard fans who really stick around and talk about the show to get that Easter egg, and then to tell their friends who maybe didn’t stick around, and that it could create some some fun chatter.”

Sophie and Benedict will be able to live out their lives in society together because Araminta (facing embezzlement accusations, and played by Katie Leung) has agreed to keep her mouth shut about Sophie’s illegitimate status and go along with the story that she is an extended member of her father’s noble family.
