Showrunner Jess Brownell has confirmed that they already have an idea on who will be the potential lead couples for Season 5 & 6.
As the latest installment of the hit Netflix series had ended with Colin and Penelope having a romantic happy ending, fans have now started speculating on who will be the next Bridgerton sibling to take the center stage in the next seasons. During a recent interview, Brownell was asked if the creative team had already mapped out what happens in future seasons.
Speaking with Variety, Brownell admitted that she and executive producer Shonda Rhimes have already had discussions about Bridgerton Season 5 and 6 ahead of the show’s fourth installment. This include choosing who the Bridgerton couple will be for the next three seasons. However, she clarified that Netflix has yet to officially grant them another two-season renewal.
“I obviously know who Season 4 is. And Shonda and I have talked about who Season 5 is and who Season 6 is. We haven’t talked beyond that,” Brownell said. “If we are lucky enough to have a Season 6, we want to just have that plan, so we know where we’re headed. But Shonda and I haven’t necessarily shared those plans with anyone. So there’s always the chance that when we talk to our collaborators, we’ll decide to go a different way. But yes, we have a loose plan.”
Based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novel series, Bridgerton is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes and showrunner Jess Brownell. It stars Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, Golda Rosheuvel, Jonathan Bailey, Claudia Jessie, Ruby Barker, Sabrina Bartlett, Ruth Gemmell, Adjoa Andoh, Polly Walker, Bessie Carter, Simone Ashley, and Harriet Cains, with Julie Andrews as the voice of Lady Whistledown.
