Fans of Netflix’s hit period drama Bridgerton have reason to celebrate, as the streaming giant has reportedly confirmed series five and six of the beloved show. According to The Sun, Netflix has secured a multi-million pound investment to continue the popular series, ensuring the drama and romance of the Bridgerton family will continue for seasons to come.
While series four is already in the works and set to debut in 2026, it will focus on the love story of Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and Sophie Baek, portrayed by Yerin Ha. However, fans can expect even more twists and turns in the upcoming seasons.
A TV insider revealed that Netflix may continue to take creative liberties with Julia Quinn’s original novels. They noted, “After introducing the controversial gender swap at the end of series three which saw Michael Stirling switched to Michaela, there is a chance execs could skip ahead to Francesca’s story. They certainly weren’t afraid to dabble with Julia Quinn’s timeline by swapping the order of Colin and Benedict’s tales.”
