This new two-season renewal brings the series officially past its halfway point. The show, which adapts Julia Quinn’s best-selling novels, was always intended to follow each of the eight Bridgerton siblings through their personal love stories.

Season 3, released in two parts during May and June 2024, focused on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).
