The official Twitter account for Netflix’s most-watched original series, Bridgerton, has announced on Tuesday 13 April that the drama series will be renewed for both season three and season four. 

LADY WHITSLEDOWN ‘SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT’

The announcement post was a classic Lady Whistledown release that read:

“It seems we have a rather special announcement. Bridgerton shall return for seasons three and four. This author shall have to purchase more ink.” 

BRIDGERTON CREATOR SHARES HEARTFELT POST

Bridgertons creator, showrunner and executive producer Chris Van Dusen, took to twitter to share the news and sentiments towards the series. 

“More #Bridgerton love coming to this room soon!  Renewed for Seasons 3 AND 4! I’ve poured every ounce of myself into creating this show and the way the world continues to embrace it continues to AMAZE ME. Thank you @netflix,” he tweeted along with a picture of the Bridgerton set. 

THERE COULD BE EIGHT SEASONS 

Brigerton returning for both seasons three and four is a treat for fans across the world however, the series has the potential to go up to eight seasons as it follows the books by Julia Quinn. 

There are eight books in total and with each book being a full season of the show the show could easily go up to its eight season. After the release of the first season, Bridgerton quickly became the most watched Netflix Original in the history of Netflix. 

The second season has already begun filming and the release is expected late this year. 

WILL REGÉ-JEAN PAGE RETURN?

Hearts broke across the world when Lady Whistledown announced that Regé-Jean Page will not be returning for the second season. It was further explained that the Duke of Hastings was only meant to be in the series for the storyline of Daphne Bridgerton finding a suitor. 

However, there have been recent reports that Regé-Jean Page is not returning due to him not liking what the producers had planned for his character. 

“Regé is not coming back to ‘Bridgerton’ because of creative differences with [executive producer] Shonda Rhimes and her team,” a Hollywood source told Page Six.

““He wasn’t happy with what was planned for his character for Season 2, which would have kept him a player but not the focal point of the show,” the source continued.

“Regé has been inundated  with offers for other interesting and challenging leading roles,” the source added.
