Dearest gentle readers, it would seem celebrations are in order.
Netflix has renewed "Bridgerton" for two more seasons. In addition to the news that seasons 5 and 6 have been greenlit, the streaming platform announced that season 4 of "Bridgerton" will premiere in 2026.
The announcement was made in a letter from Lady Whistledown that the official "Bridgerton" account shared on Instagram.
"Rarely is this author granted the opportunity to share with you such information," the letter reads, before revealing the big announcements.
"It would seem this author is going to be quite busy," it adds.
Season 4 of "Bridgerton" will follow the second Bridgerton son, Benedict, played by Luke Thompson, and his romance with Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha.
"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," an official synopsis states.
Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton will also appear in the upcoming season.
"Bridgerton" is based on the novels by Julia Quinn. Season 4 will consist of eight episodes.
Jess Brownell serves as the showrunner while Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica and Chris Van Dusen are executive producers.
