Netflix confirms next three seasons of Bridgerton but there is a huge catch that's devastated fans
Netflix has announced that season four of Bridgerton will be coming in 2026 with season five and six to follow. Netflix has confirmed a Bridgerton season five and season six as fans have been left delighted by the news as they eagerly await the release of the fourth season which is set to premiere in 2026. The official announcement on Instagram reads: "Dearest gentle reader, rarely is this author granted the opportunity to share with you such information. "It it with greatest pleasure I can announce Bridgerton shall return for seasons 5 and 6. Do celebrate accordingly. And in the meantime do prepare yourselves, for Bridgerton 4 shall debut in 2026. "It would seem this author is going to be quite busy. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown." However, there is a lengthy catch to this announcement due to how far ahead in the future it is. With still over half a year to wait until the fourth season airs, and a two-year gap between each season so far, fans could be waiting as long as 2030 for the sixth season to come out. Netflix confirmed the Shonda Rhimes production will adapt a further two more love stories from Julia Quinn's bestselling book series. There are still four more Bridgerton siblings to find love including Eloise Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie, Francesca, portrayed by Hannah Dodd, Gregory, played by Will Tilston and Hyacinth, portrayed by Florence Hunt. Viewers were previously introduced to Eloise's love interest in the first season, Sir Philip Crane, played by Chris Fulton. The exciting scenes at the end of season three saw Penelope aka Lady Whistledown, played by Nicola Coughlan and Colin, played by Luke Newton tie the knot. Fans were also shown Francesca's future wife, the gender-swapped Micheala Stirling played by Masali Baduza. Meanwhile, season four is set to trace the rags-to-riches romance between Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thomspon, and Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha. A TV Insider told The Sun: 'After introducing the controversial gender swap at the end of series three which saw Michael Stirling switched to Michaela, there is a chance execs could skip ahead to Francesca's story. 'They certainly weren't afraid to dabble with Julia Quinn's timeline by swapping the order of Colin and Benedict's tales.' While fans are buzzing about the renewal, they also have a few complaints about the lengthy wait. Taking to X to vent their frustration, one wrote: "Season 4 better be premiering on January 1st, 2026." Another agreed: "Why do we have to wait so long." A third added: "I like how they just keep renewing it like two season at a time but take like fifty years to film, we're never getting season 8." Someone else complained: "2026… are you kidding me." While another fan echoed: "Why are we waiting until 2026?'" After seeing the latest news about the fifth and sixth season, a sixth declared: "[The first look] plus the renewal of s5 & s6, I am going to be INSUFFERABLE for the next 6-10 years".
