Bridgerton Fans Want One Perfect Love Story to Be Next, But Chances Are as Slim As a CorsetImage credit: Netflix

Some want Benedict to be next, some want Eloise, but some want another story that wasn’t even in the books.

Netflix has released the first half of Bridgerton season 3, a new chapter of the series about how young aristocrats find love. The new season broke the order of Julia Quinn’s original novels – instead of the story of Benedict Bridgerton, we explore the relationship between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.

Fans Want to See The Love Story of Violet & Edmund

The show spends a lot of time on the young characters and much less on the older ones. Lady Violet Bridgerton mainly helps her children and gives them advice to get settled in life. But sometimes we are shown echoes of her love story with Viscount Edmund Bridgerton, who tragically died at the age of 39 from an allergic reaction to a bee sting.

Lady Bridgerton’s rare comments about her late husband are so touching and bittersweet that fans now want to see the love story of the Bridgerton parents as a separate season.

“I need a Violet and Edmund story. I need to see this precious friendship to lovers story they keep talking about. I need to see how they met, how they were together, how they get married,” Reddit user winter_name01 wrote.

And we couldn’t agree more.

The Chances of a Separate Story for Violet & Edmund Are Not Zero

However, if the showrunners decide to create a season within the Bridgerton series, or a separate prequel as they did with Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, they would have to create a story from scratch – there is no separate story for Violet and Edmund in the works of Julia Quinn.

But fans should not despair, as Shonda Rhimes subtly hinted that it could still happen. When she was asked if there were any new spin-offs planned for the Bridgerton universe, she had this to say:

“There’s no plan to explore anybody in particular. […] Although, in writing it I got very interested in Violet’s story. So, we’ll see.”

So the possibility that we will see the story of Violet and Edmund on the small screen is not zero – all we can do is wait for news.
