Bridgerton fans assumed the third season would follow Benedict Bridgerton, the protagonist of the third novel, An Offer from a Gentleman.īut in May 2022, viewers learned that Benedict’s love triangle would have to wait, as Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington (aka the infamous Lady Whistledown herself), announced that Season 4 will explore Colin and Penelope’s romance (from Julia Quinn’s fourth installment, Romancing Mister Bridgerton). Season 1 followed Daphne on her search for a suitor (based on the first book, The Duke and I), and Season 2 covered Anthony’s “quest to find a Viscountess” (based on the next book, The Viscount Who Loved Me). Though Netflix (er, Lady Whistledown) has only announced the scantest of details about these future seasons, we already have a pretty good idea of what they will look like based on the Bridgerton books. Given how Season 1 captivated viewers (the show casually became Netflix’s biggest hit ever and scooped up an Emmy win), it makes sense that fans were clamoring for Seasons 3 and 4 well before they even saw Season 2. Fortunately, this isn’t one of those “will Netflix renew my favorite TV show or give it the ax” situations because more Bridgerton is already confirmed.

After the sheer excitement of Bridgerton Season 2 and the spinoff Queen Charlotte, fans are eager to see the next installment of the Netflix series.
