When will season 4 of Bridgerton be released?

Patience is required. It’s expected to be another two years before Bridgerton returns, with a 2026 release date likely. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Jess Brownell explained: “We’re working on getting the seasons out faster, but it takes eight months to shoot them and then they have to be edited and dubbed into all the languages.” She added: “The writing takes a long time too, so we’re at about a two-year pace… we’re trying to speed up, but somewhere in that range.”

Who will be in season 4 of Bridgerton?

The full cast has yet to be announced, but there is good news. Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton aka Polin will be back for the next episode of Bridgerton. Nicola told The Wrap: “They’ve told us we’re back for season four, which is super nice. It’s going to be exciting. (We’ll) be back and definitely have some fun.”

While Phoebe Dynevor, who starred as Daphne Bridgerton, and Regé-Jean Page, who played the Duke of Hastings, have confirmed their exit from the series, it is likely that other well-known Bridgerton stars will return for season 4.
