As Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington’s story comes to a close with the final episodes of Bridgerton season three, fans are already buzzing about what’s next. The question on everyone’s mind is which Bridgerton sibling will be at the center of season four’s narrative. Will it be Luke Thompson‘s Benedict, a character who has become a fan-favorite, or perhaps Claudia Jessie’s Eloise?
Showrunner Jess Brownell recently hinted about the upcoming season during an interview, stating, I have almost slipped up a couple of times, so keep asking, and maybe I’ll slip up.
Brownell also mentioned that they are almost at the end of the writers’ room sessions and feel confident in what they have created, describing it as some of their best work.
The Waiting Game Continues
The anticipation for Bridgerton season four is palpable, but don’t expect it to premiere anytime soon. According to Brownell, the production process is extensive. She explained, 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.
The Focus on Benedict
Benedict’s storyline has been a subject of much speculation among fans. Luke Thompson provided some insight into his character’s journey, mentioning that Benedict’s curiosity about his desires has always been part of the writing. This nuanced portrayal has certainly heightened interest in where his story might lead next. Thompson’s thoughts reflect his deep connection to the role: It’s always been part of the writing that Benedict feels slightly curious about his desires, rather than certain in what he wants and is looking for.
Eloise’s Moment?
Beyond Benedict, Claudia Jessie’s Eloise is another strong contender for the spotlight in season four. Jessie has had her share of memorable moments in the series and has become an essential part of its charm. During a late-night show interview, Jessie shared an amusing anecdote about an on-set injury and how the production team creatively managed to incorporate her cast into the scenes.
Narrative Developments
Showrunner Brownell praised the performances from both past and present seasons for building continuous enthusiasm among fans. I am so proud of how this season has performed and so grateful to the fans for tuning in. Every season, the momentum builds more and more.
She didn’t reveal too many specifics about season four but assured fans that one particular storyline would be highly satisfying for a portion of the fandom.
Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton also shared insights into their experiences leading up to their roles in Bridgerton. Coughlan reminisced about her struggles before landing the iconic role of Penelope Featherington. She said, You kind of think: ‘Oh, God, is this ever going to happen? Am I just deluding myself?
Newton shared similar sentiments about his challenging audition process. His persistence ultimately paid off when he secured his role as Colin Bridgerton during a particularly hectic week filled with multiple auditions and side jobs.
