Hold onto your tiaras, Bridgerton enthusiasts, because we have some bittersweet news. While the ton is buzzing with excitement over the upcoming season three (and Luke Newton's real-life romance, wink wink), it seems we'll have to wait a bit longer for the next installment of regency romance. Word on the street (and straight from the showrunner's mouth) is that Bridgerton's fourth season won't grace our screens until 2026.
Yes, you read that right. 2026!
Why the delay, you ask? Well, crafting a visually stunning and emotionally captivating series like Bridgerton takes time, darling. "We're working to try to get the seasons out faster, but it takes eight months to record and then they have to be edited and dubbed in all languages," the showrunner explained.
And let's not forget the intricate scripts, which require careful development and attention to detail. It really boils down to a two-year process!
"Oh, the agony!," remarked one fan on the Bridgerton subreddit. "Two years is like an eternity in the world of streaming. I might actually start writing my own Bridgerton fan fiction to fill the void." Another fan chimed in with a touch of optimism: "Well, at least we know they're taking their time to make sure it's perfect.
I'd rather wait and get a high-quality season than have them rush it out and disappoint."
It appears that this two-year gap between seasons is becoming the new norm for Bridgerton. While we all yearn for a quicker turnaround, it's important to remember that quality trumps quantity. And who knows, maybe the extra time will allow the writers to cook up even more scandalous storylines and unforgettable characters.
So, what's a Bridgerton fan to do in the meantime? Re-watch the previous seasons (duh!), devour the books, and immerse yourself in all things Regency-era. After all, 2026 will be here before you know it, and we want to be fully prepared for whatever romantic escapades the Bridgerton family has in store for us!
