Hit show Bridgerton is back with season 4, and the new episodes took Netflix by storm. The Regency-era romantic drama is the most-watched show on the platform, with 39.7 million views over the last week.
Not only that, but season 1 and season 3 are also back in the global charts, a testament to the show’s undeniable popularity. That means we’re definitely getting more episodes, right? Here’s what we know so far.
Bridgerton Season 5 Release Date
Season 4 of Bridgerton comes out in two parts. The first four episodes are currently streaming, with the final ones scheduled to drop later in February. This season is inspired by book 3 in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, titled An Offer From a Gentleman.
As for what’s next, fans will be happy to know that Netflix has already renewed the series for two more seasons. In other words, Bridgerton season 5 could be here before you know it – perhaps in early 2027?

What Could Happen in Bridgerton Season 5?
Set in early-1800s London, Bridgerton follows the wealthy Bridgerton family as they navigate the marriage market. Each season centres on a different sibling’s love story, blending swoony romance with court intrigue.
Season 4 shines the spotlight on Benedict, the second Bridgerton son. His romance follows a Cinderella-inspired arc, complete with a hefty dose of class divide to complicate matters.
Benedict meets a mysterious “Lady in Silver” (Sophie) at a masquerade ball and is instantly captivated. While they share a deep connection, she disappears before revealing her identity. Obsessed with finding her, he searches high society, unaware that she’s not part of it.
As for Bridgerton season 5, fans are speculating that it will revolve around Eloise, the second eldest daughter. Back in January, showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed that seasons 5 and 6 are Eloise and Francesca’s love stories, but didn’t give away the order.
For now, we still have season 4 part 2 to look forward to. Will Benedict and Sophie get their happy ending? Probably, but it will still be fun to watch it happen when the show returns on February 26.
