Bridgerton has been a huge hit for Netflix, but the show has to overcome some impressive odds if it’s ever going to give all of the Bridgerton siblings their own season.
Bridgerton enthusiasts are on tenterhooks for updates about the fourth season, which is rumored to not hit screens until 2026. The Netflix period drama, set in the regency era, has been a global sensation, with each season focusing on a different Bridgerton sibling’s quest for love.
Despite its immense popularity, the show faces a daunting challenge if it aims to dedicate a season to each sibling. Based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels of the same name, the series would need to run for eight seasons to achieve this
The Bridgerton clan comprises eight siblings, each being the focus of one of the eight books: Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), Benedict (Luke Thompson), Colin (Luke Newton), Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor), Eloise (Claudia Jessie), Francesca (Hannah Dodd), Hyacinth (Florence Hunt) and Gregory (Will Tilston).
Young Gregory, still a child in the series, takes center stage in the final book, which would form the basis for the eighth and last season of the show, reports the Express.
However, achieving this will be no mean feat, given Netflix’s reputation for axing shows well before their network TV counterparts.
Even titanic series like Stranger Things, The Crown, and Sex Education haven’t hit the coveted eight-season mark. Netflix’s heavyweight title as its longest-running original goes to Grace and Frankie, according to ScreenRant.
An Emmy-nominated laugh-riot, the show follows two women who form an unlikely bond after their husbands declare love for each other.
Starring screen legends Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, the sitcom concluded just shy of Bridgerton’s target for wrapping up its own saga.
Current bets seem to wager against witnessing Gregory Bridgertons romantic triumph due to the show’s pattern of devoting each season to a different sibling’s love story.
Bridgerton enthusiasts were abuzz with anticipation for season 4 spotlighting Benedict Bridgerton, the family’s most easygoing member, who seems set to finally stumble upon his perfect partner.
While keeping the juiciest details under wraps, Netflix has teased that Benedict will be utterly enthralled by a mysterious Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.
With season 4 engineered by showrunner Jess Brownell, production of the fresh batch of eight episodes is slated to start in London on an unannounced date though it’s been dropped that fans must hang tight until 2026 to devour them.
Teasing the next installment, the teaser serves up snapshots of high society revelling in the latest dish from Lady Whistledown, with a promise: “Next season’s most compelling match will be unmasked. Welcome to the marriage mart, Benedict.”
The first three seasons of Bridgerton have each focused on a different sibling: Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor), Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), and Colin (Luke Newton). The third season also delved into Francesca’s (Hannah Dodd) blossoming love story.
