Nicola Coughlan Reportedly Leaving Bridgerton After Four Seasons?

Just when we thought we could finally breathe a sigh of relief after the finale of ‘Bridgerton’, talk of a potential cast change is spreading through the high society. Could our lovely Penelope Featherington, the sharp gossip columnist turned romantic heroine, be saying goodbye to the high society after Season 4?

From Introvert to Leading Lady: Penelope’s Moment to Shine
Season 3 was definitely Penelope’s moment. We saw her blossom from an introverted girl who was always overlooked in matters of the heart, into a glamorous leading lady who finally captured the attention (and affection) of the charming Colin Bridgerton.

Nicola Coughlan, who brings Penelope to life with wit and vulnerability, has received rave reviews for her performance.
Fans and critics agree: Penelope’s journey has been a triumph. So why are there rumors of her departure?
Following the books: A potential clue?
The answer, it seems, lies in the source material. “Bridgerton” is based on the Julia Quinn-loved romance series, with each season typically focusing on the romantic adventures of a different Bridgerton sibling.

Season 4 is set to be inspired by “An Offer From a Gentleman,” the story of Benedict Bridgerton.
