Bridgerton is the iconic Netflix Original show that broke the internet back during the pandemic as it was all people could talk about with its POC characters in the Regency era of England. Club it with modern-day Gossip Girl-type drama and steamy romance, it is bound to be a hit.
Based on Julia Quinn’s books, it is helmed by Shondaland with Season 3 bringing back Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, Claudia Jessie, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Adjoa Andoh, Ruth Gemmell, Luke Thompson and Golda Rosheuvel.
Well, following a satisfactory resolution for Polin, we wonder if we will be getting a Season 4 and which Bridgerton sibling it will be following.
Here’s everything we know:
What is Bridgerton Season 3 about?
With exciting themes and tropes of friends to lovers, jealousy, secrets and betrayals, Bridgerton Season 3 follows the third Bridgerton brother – Colin and Penelope Featherington.
But all is not well in our fictitious Regency era. Pens’ alter ego, Lady Whistledown is in jeopardy and so is her friendship as Eloise learns of her secret. Meanwhile, Colin gets a cold welcome after his public remark that he would never court Pen. At the same time, the shy Francesca Bridgerton finally makes her debut while Lady Danbury has a new visitor who catches the eye of Violet Bridgerton.

Has Bridgerton Been Renewed for Season 4?
At the time of writing, Netflix has renewed Bridgerton for Season 4.
Netflix tends to look at views and the drop-off rates before renewing or cancelling the show, along with the critical success. Some shows are instantly renewed like One Piece and Stranger Things while others take years such as The Watcher and The Victim’s Game.
However, it was announced back in 2021 that Bridgerton had been renewed for Season 4.
What do we know about Bridgerton Season 4?
Not much is known about Bridgerton Season 4 but we can guess the overall premise. Following the pattern of the previous seasons, it will focus on a Bridgerton sibling and their quest to find love. Fans have been eagerly waiting for Benedict since book 3 in Julia Quinn’s franchise focuses on him but some think Season 4 could focus on Eloise.
But Nicola Coughlan has confirmed that she and Luke Newton will be returning. Showrunner Jess Brownell has also added that Season 4 will take 2 years to complete. The Season 3 finale also has Eloise mentioning Violet’s masquerade ball, which in the books led to the arrival of Benedict’s love interest, Sophie. So, we just have to wait and see.
Update: It has been confirmed that Season 4 will follow Benedict’s love story.
If the show does return, you can expect a season with approximately 8 episodes, each lasting around 50-60 minutes. We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as any new information comes in.
