Summary
- Bridgerton Season 4 delayed, but lead actor Jonathan Bailey returns
- Bailey likens filming the show to a "debutante ball" experience
- New leads in Season 4 will face "Netflix effect" of publicity

As fans eagerly await the 2025 premiere of Bridgerton Season 4, lead actor Jonathan Bailey has provided an intriguing behind-the-scenes glimpse. Bailey, who plays Anthony Bridgerton, recently likened the filming process to a "debutante ball," drawing parallels between the show's structure and the high-profile introduction of new stars.
Indeed, Bridgerton's unique format means that every couple of years, the series thrusts a new set of lead actors into the spotlight. This season, the focus will shift to Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek, portrayed by Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha. Bailey, who has become a major movie star since leading Season 2, notes that these new leads will face the "Netflix effect" - months of intense publicity and attention.
Fortunately, veteran actors like Bailey will be there to support their co-stars through this whirlwind experience. While Bailey won't be as prominent in Season 4, his presence will undoubtedly be felt as the show continues its successful run. Fans can look forward to more updates on the new episodes as the 2025 premiere approaches.
