Bridgerton Season 4: Eagerly Awaiting the Return of Regency Romance

Bridgerton Season 3 has ended, and Season 4 has already been confirmed, but what else is there to know? 

Fans had to wait two years for the love story of Colin and Penelope. While the historical romance is undoubtedly one of the best shows to binge-watch on Netflix – and really one of the best shows overall that you can get with a Netflix subscription – it does take a while for the seasons to reach our TV screens. And unfortunately, Season 4 seems to be trending in that direction as well. 

But, aside from the fact that we will have to wait some time for the next season, what else do we know about Bridgerton Season 4? Be ready to get your piping hot tea and settle in for Lady Whistledown’s papers because there’s plenty of info out there already.

At the time of writing this, in June 2024, about a week after the finale of Bridgerton Season 3, there is no set release date for Bridgerton Season 4, which isn’t that much of a surprise. The third season was a part of our 2024 TV premiere schedule, so it’s not like Season 4 would have been coming out this year even if it was done.

However, we do have an estimate, at least, from Jess Brownell herself, the showrunnerIn an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in June 2024, she confirmed that there would be “at least” a two-year wait:

We are working to try and put the seasons out more quickly, but they do take eight months to film and then they have to be edited, and then they have to be dubbed into every language. And the writing takes a very long time as well, so we’re kind of on a two-year pace, we’re trying to speed up, but somewhere in that range.

While Brownell says they are trying to “speed things up,” a roughly two year wait does seem pretty standard for Bridgerton. The second season was released about a year and four months after the first, and the third, obviously, was released more than two years later. This most likely means we won’t get another season of Bridgerton until at least 2026.

While the Bridgerton cast has undoubtedly changed and grown over the last three seasons, there are plenty of characters we can expect to see for Bridgerton Season 4. These include:
