Jess Brownell confirms a two-year waiting period for Bridgerton season 4

Not a great news for fans of Bridgerton has flown in from the makers of the regency drama. Ahead of the season 3: part two premiere, showrunner Jess Brownell told The Hollywood Reporter that it will be quite a long wait before audience get to know which Bridgerton sibling is next in line to find a partner among the ton.

At the UK premiere of Bridgerton season 3: Part 2, Jess Brownell explained, "I have almost slipped up a couple of times so keep asking, and maybe I’ll slip up. I’m really excited about what we’re writing. We’re towards the end with the writers room season, with the scripts. And I feel like it’s some of my best work and my writers room’s best work. We’ve just really gelled our collaboration, and we’re firing on all cylinders so I can’t wait for fans to see what we have."

She continued, "We are working to try and put the seasons out more quickly, but they do take eight months to film and then they have to be edited, and then they have to be dubbed into every language. And the writing takes a very long time as well, so we’re kind of on a two-year pace, we’re trying to speed up but somewhere in that range."

Speaking about how she was proud of the reception from this season and the actors' performances, she said, "I am so proud of how this season has performed and so grateful to the fans for tuning in. I think every season, the momentum builds more and more, and I think we have a debt to pay to the actors in seasons one and two for helping build enthusiasm. Then, I think Nicola and Luke have helped build a lot of enthusiasm."

Bridgerton season 3: Part 2 focuses on the romance between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), which culminates in marriage. The series, which is currently running on Netflix, also stars Claudia Jessie, Hannah Dodd, Adjoa Andoh, Golda Rosheuvel, and Ruth Gemmel in lead roles.
