*Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Bridgerton seasons 1, 2 and 3.*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dearest reader, if you have found yourself at a loss of what to do after finishing the second part of Bridgerton<\/a> season 3 and are desperate for more, you have come to the right place to find out all that awaits the Bridgerton family.<\/p>\n

Season 3 of the steamy period drama has focused on yet another love story within the Bridgerton clan, with Penelope Featherington\u2019s (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton\u2019s (Luke Newton) romance taking centre stage \u2013 as well as proving to be hot gossip among the members of the Ton.<\/p>\n

As many fans will know, season 3 of Bridgerton stepped away from the order of the original novels<\/a>, with Benedict\u2019s love story being bumped for Colin\u2019s \u2013 and with the third season now fully available, there are plenty wondering: Who is next?<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here\u2019s everything we know about Bridgerton season 4, including all the speculation on which sibling will be the focus!<\/p>\n

Will there be a Bridgerton season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes!\u00a0<\/strong>Following the triumph of the show\u2019s early episodes, it was announced that Netflix had renewed Bridgerton for seasons 3 and 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are a total of eight novels in Julia Quinn\u2019s Bridgerton series, and with three down and one more to go, there could be potential for the next four, but that is yet to be confirmed by the streamer.<\/p>\n

Is there a potential release date for Bridgerton season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not yet.<\/strong> Production for season 4 has not yet begun, with showrunner Jess Brownell confirming to Refinery29<\/a> that the Bridgerton team were still \u201cin the middle of writing [season 4]\u201d.<\/p>\n

The series hasn\u2019t followed a pattern with its release dates during the past three seasons, but with filming yet to commence, it could be a while yet.<\/p>\n

What will Bridgerton season 4 be about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The question on everyone\u2019s minds! As of now, no one knows \u2013 but there have been some smart teasers along the way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Due to the Netflix series going out of order to the books, season 4 could focus on any one of the Bridgerton siblings, especially given Francesca\u2019s love story began in season 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s possible that we will continue to go out of order,\u201d Brownell told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited about Benedict\u2019s journey in season 3. It felt like it was too early to have him settled down. He\u2019s such a passionate character, and we wanted him to go on a few more adventures before we get to his season.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this in mind, all eyes have turned to Luke Thompson, who is remaining very tight-lipped on the matter.<\/p>\n

\"Luke\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<\/div>

When asked if Benedict\u2019s love story could be next during an appearance on The View, Thompson joked: \u201cHow dare you ask me such personal questions?\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI don\u2019t know. I know that it\u2019s so lovely [and] that one of the best things about a TV job is that you get to really explore a character long-form like that and fill him in slowly. So as long as I keep getting to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, there is one major hint that season 4 could be focused on Benedict. Bridgerton artist Grace Gorman recently posted a photo of Lady Cowper on Instagram<\/a> and wrote that the character\u2019s first name was Araminta.<\/p>\n

Fans of the books will be aware that Araminta is the same name as the stepmother of Sophie Beckett, Benedict\u2019s love interest!<\/p>\n

Of course, this doesn\u2019t confirm who season 4 will focus on, as this could just be a hint that Benedict\u2019s love story could be teased throughout the next season.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be sure to keep this page updated once it becomes more clear!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Who could be in the cast for Bridgerton season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The cast of Bridgerton seasons 2 and 3 changed ever so slightly with the exits of the likes of Reg\u00e9-Jean Page, Phoebe Dynevor and Charithra Chandran.<\/p>\n

As the focus of season 4 is yet to be confirmed, it isn\u2019t clear who will definitely make a return, but there are some likely members of the Ton we can expect back:<\/p>\n
