Here’s Everything You Need to Know About ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4

Dearest Gentle Reader, if you've come hither in a thirsty panic over Bridgerton Season 4 (when is it? whomst will it be about? why isn't Netflix responding to my DMs), you are not alone. But wonder no further, because if anyone shall reveal the circumstances of this match season, it is I.

And by that we mean we have a ton of info to go over, including but not limited to...

[table-of-contents] stripped

Is There Going to Be a Bridgerton Season 4?

Yup. Netflix announced this happy news back in 2021, at the same time they revealed the show had been renewed for Season 3.

When is Bridgerton Season 4 Coming Out?

As of now...that remains unclear. My personal best guess? Winter 2025 based on what we know about production (getting to that in a moment).

Either way, showrunner Jess Brownell told Refinery29 at the beginning of May 2024 "We actually don't know when it's gonna drop." So...if production doesn't know, no one does! But it seems safe-ish to assume we won't have to wait quite as long between seasons this time around since the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes are over.

What Is Bridgerton Season 4 About?

Tennnnnntatively Benedict? The show skipped over his season to give us Polin, so he's on deck if the writers revert back to the original book order!

Either way, production has a "very specific plan" in mind. As Shonda Rhimes put it to Variety ahead of Season 3, “I do have a very specific plan of where we go each season—which one is which. Because you really have to start seeding in the other siblings, and what’s going on with them, to push them to the next season. We’ve really talked about it through, I think, Season 6 or maybe 7."

Who in the Cast Is Returning?

Both Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton are in for Season 4!

Nicola herself confirmed this happy news during an interview with The Wrap, saying “They’ve told us we’re back for Season 4, which is super lovely…It’ll be exciting. [We’ll] pop back and have some fun for sure.”

Thank god, because Bridgerton wouldn't be Bridgerton without Lady Whistledown's dry wit. In fact, it seems (relatively) safe to assume that Nicola will be a permanent cast member due to her central role, but that's just us speculating.

Has Filming Begun?

Not yet! But Jess Brownell told Refinery29 in April that "We are in the middle of writing it right now," so...filming is likely around the corner. She also noted that "We're still making sure that we write the best possible script that we can before we start production."

Basically, this is Netflix right now:

"Should I say, hatching my plans? No, even better, I was sharpening my Knives. For all of you."

Is Anyone New Joining?

Too soon to say, but watch this space for updates since—depending on who the diamond of Season 4 is—some new faces will need to be cast.

Have There Been Any Sneak Peeks?

Alas, and regretfully, no. Though, in the wise words of Lady Danbury:
