Bridgerton Renewed for Seasons 5 & 6: Who's Next?
26 Feb
Summary
- Benedict Bridgerton married Sophie, a maid disguised as high society.
- Bridgerton renewed through season 6; season 5 leads are hinted.
- Eloise and Francesca are the likely leads for seasons 5 and 6.
Benedict Bridgerton's love story concluded with his marriage to Sophie, a maid he encountered at a masquerade ball, in the recent season.
Netflix has officially announced the renewal of the beloved Shondaland series for both seasons 5 and 6. This exciting news was shared through a signature Lady Whistledown-style letter on the show's official Instagram.
Showrunner Jess Brownell dropped a significant clue regarding the leads for seasons 5 and 6, revealing that initials 'E' and 'F' on her pocket square correspond to the upcoming seasons. These initials strongly point to Bridgerton sisters Eloise and Francesca.
While the exact order remains a mystery, season 5 could follow Eloise's story from the book "To Sir Phillip With Love." Alternatively, the show might deviate from the book order, potentially focusing on Francesca's romance with Michael, now reimagined as Michaela, hinting at the show's first major queer romance.
Production for season 5 is expected to commence soon, with Shonda Rhimes describing it as a "really sexy season." Many familiar faces, including Claudia Jessie as Eloise and Hannah Dodd as Francesca, are anticipated to return, alongside Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury. London's high society can expect new faces to add to the drama and romance.
