Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie's (Yerin Ha) love story has reached its beautiful end, meaning Bridgerton fans are already desperate to know what happens in season 5 – including who it will focus on.
"We're really keen to try to pace up our release schedule," she told TechRadar. "So with season 5, we're pretty much done already with the scripts. We have finished the writers room, and I'm just doing a final pass on the finale. We start shooting pretty soon. Those conversations happened as soon as we finished shooting season four."
Brownell has also teased a bit more about what to expect in the next season during an interview with Radio Times, which you can find below. Read on for everything we know so far about Bridgerton season 5.
Bridgerton season 5 release date speculation
When asked about the negative fan reaction to her previous comments about the show taking two-year gaps between seasons, Brownell revealed: “We’re never planning for a two year gap and I will say, I knew when I said that that I was under promising with the hope of overdelivering.
So, we could potentially see Bridgerton season 5 on our screens in 2027 but if scheduling keeps to its usual time constraints, it may not be until 2028 that we get new episodes.
Who will be the Bridgerton season 5 lead?
Brownell previously revealed that it would be one of the Bridgerton daughters at season 4's premiere in Paris, telling Deadline: "Both characters with the initials on my pocket squares will get seasons in five in six. In what order? I can’t say."
Many fans of the show may not be able to envision Eloise on her own romantic journey but actress Claudia Jessie revealed that she is "buzzing" to finally step into the spotlight. Previously chatting to Radio Times for the release of season 4 part 1, Jessie said: "In terms of setting her up, I think Eloise is desperately trying to find her way of doing it, right? That’s what I’ve always been excited to be able to one day do, is to show love or romance or whatever her journey is in the most Eloise way possible.
She added: "That’s what I think the set-up is until ultimately we see what her way of doing it is, her version of it. I’m buzzing to one day do it. I love this show with my whole heart, I love my colleagues, I love Eloise so I’ll be buzzing to do it.”
Who could potentially star in Bridgerton season 5?
She revealed in an exclusive chat with Radio Times: “Absolutely not, you will be seeing much more of Lady Danbury, she has a major role to play in season 5. But it felt important to us to shake up the dynamic and allow Alice to now step into more of the service role with the Queen and to allow Lady Danbury to be the Queen’s peer, at least in a friendship sense.
"They have that love and acceptance for each other and laughter is the most equalising medicine, when we can laugh together it takes away the lines that divide us. So, I thought that’d be the perfect ending for their story.”
We obviously won't be seeing anymore of Lord John (Victor Alli) after his tragic death in season 4 part 2. With Michaela (Masali Baduza) sneaking off in the dead of the night and leaving Francesca alone in her grieving period, we would certainly expect her return if Francesca's set to be the next lead. However, if Eloise is then perhaps we won't be seeing Michaela's return for some time. Another question mark of a character return also hangs over Lord Marcus (Daniel Francis) who, despite proposing to Lady Violet (Ruth Gemmell) and having a steamy blossoming romance, seemed to end things after being on two different pages.
The cast we'd expect to see return for Bridgerton season 5 are as follows.
Hannah Dodd as Francesca BridgertonClaudia Jessie as Eloise BridgertonLuke Thompson as Benedict BridgertonYerin Ha as Sophie BaekNicola Coughlan as Penelope FeatheringtonLuke Newton as Colin BridgertonJonathan Bailey as Anthony, Viscount BridgertonSimone Ashley as Kate BridgertonMartins Imhangbe as Will MondrichRuth Gemmell as Violet, Dowager Viscountess BridgertonWill Tilston as Gregory BridgertonFlorence Hunt as Hyacinth BridgertonGolda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom of Great BritainAdjoa Andoh as Agatha, Lady DanburyPolly Walker as Portia, Dowager Baroness FeatheringtonEmma Naomi as Alice MondrichHugh Sachs as BrimsleyMasali Baduza as Michaela StirlingIsabella Wei as Posy LiJulie Andrews as Lady WhistledownLorraine Ashbourne as Mrs VarleyWhat could Bridgerton season 5 be about?
If it's Francesca's, then we can expect the return of Michaela, who has been gender-flipped from the book, When He Was Wicked. That whole novel is about how Micheal loves Francesca but obviously keeps his feelings a secret when she marries his cousin.
So, we can certainly expect a bit more of a slow burn as it relates to Francesca and Michaela. As for Eloise, fans will know that we've actually already met her future husband, Sir Philip Crane, in season 1. Philip obviously went on to marry Marina out of obligation to his dead brother, with the pair not being romantically involved but sharing a pleasant life nonetheless.
Both Bridgerton stories sound like they'll be even more interesting in their exploration of emotions and dynamics so consider us excited for whatever's to come!
