Bridgerton

Netflix recently confirmed that Yerin Ha had joined the cast as the main love interest for season 4 of Bridgerton season 4, and now we have an update about filming and as such, season 4’s release date.

Bridgerton season 4 has now begun production, according to an official Netflix announcement. They also talked about how the show will have a new backlot which will result in a new look for the series. Here’s what they said about that:“This season, Bridgerton expands its filming locations on one of the newly constructed backlot of Shepperton Studios, showcasing exquisite replicas of Georgian and Regency architecture including homes, buildings, Mayfair Street and more. This milestone, 8 months in the making, promises to envelop the beloved show in an even more delightful and authentic atmosphere, transporting audiences to a world of Regency-era splendor. This regal undertaking was designed by Bridgerton Production Designer, Alison Gartshore along with Supervising Art Director Antony Cartlidge and Art Director Adam David Grant. The build spans approximately two acres of Netflix’s backlot at Shepperton, marking a new chapter in the series’ enchanting journey.”

But in terms of the Bridgerton season 4 release date, here’s what filming starting now means for that.

Bridgerton season 3 started production at the end of July in 2022, and ended in March 2023. Season 3 then ended up releasing in May of 2024, with the second half in June 2024.

So, we can extrapolate that out a bit. If production is starting in September of 2024, and goes the same length, it would end eight months later in May 2025. But then another long leap for post-production and release would be August of 2026. Yes, 2026, which would be more than two years after season 3 aired.Unfortunately this is the new normal for Bridgerton, according to its showrunner Jess Brownell, as for whatever reason it seems they cannot move any faster than this.
