Bridgerton fans can breathe a sigh of relief—showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed that Kate and Anthony, affectionately known as Kanthony, are not being written off the show
.
No Plans to Combine Seasons
In an interview with Teen Vogue, Brownell stated, I don’t have any plans to combine seasons
. She emphasized her commitment to giving each sibling their own spotlight. I want every sibling to have their own season and I know that Shonda [Rhimes] wants that as well
, she added.
This comes as a relief to fans who were concerned about the future of the show beyond Season 4. Addressing these concerns, Brownell revealed, I have a roadmap in my head of where we want to go, and Shonda and I have talked privately about our plans for seasons beyond season four

Benedict’s Anticipated Journey
The show has been tight-lipped about the lineup for future seasons. However, fans have speculated that Benedict Bridgerton (played by Luke Thompson) will be the focus soon. Disappointed that his story wasn’t covered in Season 3, viewers eagerly await his romantic journey with Sophie from the novel An Offer From a Gentleman.
It’d be nice to give the character a full exploration, that’d be really fun, but the way the show runs—it’s a big ensemble show
, Thompson mentioned in an interview with Country and Town House.
Hints About Future Plotlines
The ending of Season 3 dropped some hints about upcoming plotlines. Francesca’s marriage to John (Victor Alli) set a stage for her longer storyline.
Brownell hinted in TV Insider about where future stories might lead, cryptically stating, I won’t give you anything, but I do think that there are some clues at the end of Season 3 of where we’re headed

Eloise and Phillip’s Uncharted Territory
Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie) has also stirred interest though she had no interactions with her future love interest Phillip Crane (Chris Fulton) during Season 3. Speaking on this, Brownell mentioned that placing subtle hints in Season 3 could allow fans to speculate where the narrative might flow next.
A Commitment to Staying True To The Books
I am really not trying to shake things up too much. I really believe in the vision of the show. I really want to serve the stories and the books the best way possible
, Brownell told Refinery29. This indicates a continued dedication to following Julia Quinn’s novels while ensuring each character gets their due screen time.
With such careful planning and dedication from its creative team, Bridgerton promises more seasons filled with romance and intrigue, always keeping fans on their toes without compromising on authenticity.
