Jonathan Bailey Reveals Anthony's Fate Beyond Bridgerton Season 4

After being renewed for seasons five and six, it's clear that Bridgerton is going to be around for a while — and according to Jonathan Bailey, he'll be sticking around for its entirety.
Though Bridgerton season 4 is going to focus on Benedict's love story, there will still be plenty of Anthony sprinkled in, as Bailey himself has now confirmed.
While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter on June 18, Bailey explained that he's very okay with playing a supporting character in the series. In season 2, he played a main role as the season focused on his character's love story with Kate Sharma (played by Simone Ashley).
'I've never been someone who's like, 'Thanks, bye.' It's not in my nature,' Bailey told the outlet. 'There's a real sense of brotherly pride I feel in it.'
Per THR, while Bailey did acknowledge that there may be future instances in which he might not be able to star as prominently in the series as he'd like to due to scheduling conflicts or smaller storylines for his character, he did stress that he'll make it work for as long as he can.
'I look forward to, in another however many years, when we've done the eighth season to sit around and be like, 'Look what we all did together,'" Bailey said. 'I know how much I love long-running series. I know how important familiarity of character and story and consistency is in these long-running series.'
The actor just wrapped production on Bridgerton season 4, and teased that they filmed 'a wedding on a Monday morning.' ("People know that people get married in Bridgerton — that's not a spoiler, right?' he joked.) Bailey is booked and busy, as he's currently on the press tour for Jurassic World Rebirth and in just a few months will be gearing up for the release of Wicked: For Good.
Jonathan Bailey had previously discussed the fate and future of his character in Bridgerton season 4 during an appearance on Good Morning America back in August 2024.
"The thing about Bridgerton, which is so brilliant, is that there are so many different ways that you can fall in love as humans, and that's what the show will explore and, obviously, being the older brother, I'm gonna be there to support the youngsters as we go,' Bailey said about the upcoming season.
At the time, Bailey admitted that he didn't yet know where exactly season 4 would take his character, but that he's very 'excited' to step into the oldest Bridgerton's shoes once again.
ICYMI, season 3 of Bridgerton ended with Bailey's Anthony Bridgerton and his wife Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) getting ready to head off to India before the birth of their baby. To coincide with the season 3 finale, showrunner Jess Brownell previously told Teen Vogue that both Anthony and Kate, affectionately known as Kanthony, would be returning for season 4.
'The strength of sending them off to India for a little while is that it does leave the door open for them to come back, schedules allowing,' Brownell said. 'I think, understandably, when any of our lead actors have given over their lives for their season, in future seasons, we want to be supportive of the fact that they do have other projects coming in, and to ask actors to come back just to be in the background is not really fair to them. We love Jonny and Simone, and we'll have them back as much as we are able to.'
During summer 2024, Netflix confirmed season 4 of Bridgerton would focus on Benedict's story, hence adapting Julia Quinn's third book, An Offer From a Gentleman — that book was skipped for season 3 to center on Penelope and Colin's story, which adapts Quinn's fourth book, Romancing Mister Bridgerton, instead.
On August 16, 2024, Variety reported that Yerin Ha had been cast as Benedict's love interest, Sophie Beckett. Previously, the streamer had teased the logline for the season, writing: "Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother's masquerade ball.'

What time is Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.? Walkouts for boxing showdown
All that's left for Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is the fighting. After months of trash talk, their cruiserweight boxing match scheduled for 10 rounds is taking place Saturday, June 28 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. Paul (11-1) hasn't competed since last November when he scored a unanimous decision over Mike Tyson in a fight that turned out to be the most-streamed sporting event on Netflix, with an estimated 65 million viewers. Paul's lone defeat came in February 2023 against Tommy Fury, but since then the 28-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer has rattled off five wins in a row against former UFC stars and boxers in the ring – Nate Diaz (unanimous decision), Andre August (KO), Ryan Bourland (TKO), Mike Perry (TKO), and Tyson. Chávez Jr. (54-6-1), the son of Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez, will enter on a two-fight winning streak after most recently defeating former UFC fighter Uriah Hall by unanimous decision last July. Chavez, 39, hasn't been a world champion since 2012 and is looking to prove what he has left. Paul and Chavez share a common opponent in former UFC champion Anderson Silva, with different results. In 2021, Silva shocked the boxing world when he won a split decision against Chavez Jr. after eight rounds. In 2022, Paul defeated Silva by unanimous decision in an eight-round fight. When does the Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. card start? The Paul vs. Chavez Jr. lineup consists of seven fights, with the undercard getting underway at 8 p.m. ET. Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. walkout time As the main event, Paul and Chavez Jr. are expected to make their walks to the ring at approximately 11 p.m. ET (8 p.m. locally in Anaheim).
