Despite the recent news that Bridgerton’s fourth season won’t arrive until 2026, there’s hope to be found in the fact that two of the ton’s most beloved stars are doing all they can to return for the next series.
During a press conference in Monaco on June 15, Simone Ashley, who plays Kate Sharma, discussed whether she and Jonathan Bailey, who plays her character’s love interest Anthony Bridgerton, will reprise their onscreen romance in the fourth season of Bridgerton.
‘Both Johnny and I, we adore our characters, Kate and Anthony, so much and their relationship and what they mean for the show,’ she said, adding, ‘I think we’ll do all we can with our schedules to make it work so that we can, hopefully.’
While it’s unclear as of yet which Bridgerton sibling will be the focus of the fourth season, Kate and Anthony were the central couple in the show’s second season. They appeared in both parts of season three, during which their characters decided to travel from the Bridgertons’ London residence to Kate’s hometown in India to welcome their first child, leaving their future in the show uncertain.
Luke Thompson, who plays Benedict Bridgerton, is the frontunner among fans who have surmised that he will be the sibling that the fourth season focusses on, however the actor recently revealed on The View that when it comes to whether his character will take centre stage next season, his ‘honest answer’ is ‘I don’t know.’
