Straying from the Beaten Path with the Novel Order
Season 4 ofBridgertonwill dedicate itself to the romantic journey of Benedict Bridgerton, the bohemian second son of the family, and newcomer Sophie in what has been described as a Cinderella-inspired romance. Benedict’s move from carefree bachelor to devoted lover will emerge against the backdrop of his mother’s masquerade ball, where he encounters a mysterious Lady in Silver who changes his life forever. This follows the pattern established by the show, with Season 1 featuring Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Regé-Jean Page), Season 2 centering on Anthony and Kate, and Season 3 observing the dynamics of Colin and Penelope.
Regé-Jean Page’s 6 Best Performances, Ranked
Can’t get enough of Regé-Jean Page? Neither can we. We have put together a list of his best performances, from Bridgerton to The Gray Man.
While the novels featured Benedict’s story (book 3, “An Offer From A Gentleman”) before Colin and Penelope’s romance (book four, “Romancing Mister Bridgerton”),the series reversed this order— Season 3 focused on Colin and Penelope’s friends-to-lovers tale. This made the reveal of Benedict’s story even more tantalizing, with some expecting Francesca’s story to be next as the spotlight was on her in Season 3.Brownell explained to Decider, “Francesca’s book, for those who are familiar, it takes place over a longer amount of years and it has more twists and turns. And so we felt like we wanted to start that story earlier so that we could play out more chapters of her book.”
Pastel Pinks and Baby Blues or Oranges and Browns?
A creative choice in Season 4 involves experimenting with seasonal aesthetics for the first time. WhileBridgertontypically exists in spring, Season 4 may explore autumnal tones, incorporating warm fall colors alongside the series’ signature pastels.Brownell told The LA Times, “We always live in this perpetual spring inBridgerton, but we’re playing around with the idea of fall … for the first time. Some of that is about story and some of it is, honestly, just for practical reasons because we’re shooting in the fall.”
As we await more official announcements about Season 4, one thing remains certain —Bridgerton’sintoxicating blend of romance, drama, and visuals will continue to fascinate viewers across the globe. The ton shall have much to discuss in the society papers as this beloved series continues its reign as one of Netflix’s crown jewels for at least three more seasons.
