The Bridgerton buzz is alive and well! Even after the steamy season 3 finale that saw Penelope and Colin finally confess their feelings, fans are still ravenous for more. Season 4 is already casting a long shadow, focusing on Benedict Bridgerton's (Luke Thompson) journey to find love, and the anticipation is palpable.

A New Heartthrob Takes The Stage

Jonathan Bailey, the dashing Anthony Bridgerton, recently made a splash on Good Morning America while promoting his Emmy-nominated role in "Fellow Travelers." While there, he couldn't help but share his excitement for the next chapter of the Bridgerton saga.

"I look forward to reading the scripts and finding out myself," he quipped when asked about Anthony's fate in season 4.

"I have a couple of weeks etched out in my schedule for returning, so I'm really excited."

This news comes after a flurry of hints from other Bridgerton stars. Nicola Coughlan, the beloved Penelope Featherington, confirmed she and Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton) will be reprising their roles for season 4.

And Simone Ashley, who brought Kate Sharma to life, also hinted at a possible return for her and Jonathan, assuring fans, "Both Johnny and I, we adore our characters, Kate and Anthony, so much."

Jonathan's Blessing For Luke Thompson

While the details of Anthony and Kate's storyline remain shrouded in mystery, Jonathan is all about embracing the new love story unfolding in season 4. "The thing about Bridgerton, which is so brilliant, is there are so many different ways that you can fall in love as humans, and that's what this show will explore," he enthused on GMA.

But what about the big brother's feelings about a new Bridgerton taking the spotlight? Well, Jonathan is not only excited about the prospect of a new love story, but he's also brimming with support for Luke Thompson.

"Luke Thompson is just going to be stunning. And who knows who his love interest is going to be," he said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Benedict's full of wonder and joy, and he's the beating heart of the family, so yeah, it should be brilliant. I can't wait."

Behind the Scenes: Production and Expectations

Season 4 production is slated to begin in the fall. While showrunner Jess Brownell has cautioned fans that it could be a two-year wait until the new season graces Netflix, one thing is for sure: the excitement and anticipation surrounding Bridgerton shows no signs of waning.

With a new leading man, a captivating new love story, and the promise of familiar faces, season 4 is poised to be a compelling and entertaining chapter in the Bridgerton saga.

Fans are already buzzing about who Benedict will choose, and whether Anthony and Kate will return with a new baby and more marital drama. We can only wait with bated breath for the next chapter in this beloved series to unfold.
