- Bridgerton Season 4 may take two years, according to showrunner Jess Brownell.
- The Season 4 script is nearly complete, but the series will still likely take 2 years to return.
- Season 3 Part 2 premieres on June 13.
As fans patiently wait for the highly anticipated second part of Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington’s (Nicola Coughlan) narrative, they will have to wait a bit longer for Bridgerton Season 4. The fourth season may currently not be on viewers’ minds yet, given that they can’t wait to witness the conclusion of lovebirds Colin and Penelope’s story in the series’ Season 3, Part 2, which is set to air on Thursday, June 13, with a final four episodes. Still, diehard fans would naturally be curious to know which of the Bridgertons would be the focus in the next installment.
Showrunner Jess Brownell, who graced the U.K. premiere for Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2, shared some Season 4 details with The Hollywood Reporter, hinting at how long fans will have to wait before the next story drops. “We are working to try and put the seasons out more quickly,” she said. “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.”
Based on the book series by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton has been keeping viewers enamored with its swooning romance narratives since it first launched on Netflix in December 2020. The show’s second season premiered two years later, followed by Part 1 of Season 3 on May 16, 2024. Bridgerton has been so successful that it was renewed for a fourth season in April 2021, and a spin-off series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, telling the story of Queen Charlotte, was also created.
