Now that Bridgerton has premiered the latest episodes of the third season on Netflix, many fans want to know all about the next installment, especially who it will be about and the release date.

It’s no surprise that the adaptation of Julia Quinn‘s books changed the order, as if they followed the scheduled order, this one should have told Benedict’s romantic story, who is played by Luke Thompson.

The showrunner and executive producer of the period drama, Jess Brownell, confirmed that the fourth season will start filming this year, but it won’t arrive soon, quite the opposite…

When will the fourth season of Bridgerton be released?

It seems that the fourth season of Bridgerton won’t arrive on Netflix until late 2025 or early 2026. The showrunner confessed that filming will start soon, but the subsequent process takes quite some time.

Jess Brownell spoke with The Hollywood Reporter during the premiere of the second part of the third season and confessed, “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“.

She then added that the writing process is also lengthy, so they are currently on a two-year pace, which means we won’t see a new episode of the period drama until that time, even if they try to speed it up.

So far, they are just rumors, but the EP also spoke about the character’s development. According to Glamour, she said: “I personally feel like Benedict reads as queer in seasons one and two, and I think a lot of audiences have felt that way as well“.

“In the writer’s room, we wanted to make sense of that. Benedict is figuring out his place in society…and how he can skirt the rules of society while being true to himself”, Brownell later added.
