We have calculated the release date for season 4 of “Bridgerton”: we will have to wait until 2026

After the incredible success of Bridgerton’s third season, fans of the romantic drama are all scratching their heads over one question. And this is what worries them: when will Netflix release the fourth part of the series, which will star Benedict and his love Sophie?

Unfortunately for fans, the popularity of the third season is unlikely to speed up the release of the fourth — Netflix producers don’t like to rush new installments of popular series. And “Bridgerton” will certainly be no exception.

We decided to calculate for you the estimated release date of the new season of the Shonda Rhimes series, but we warn you that you are unlikely to like it.

Bridgerton season three began filming in July 2022 and concluded in March 2023. The series then spent over a year in post-production — the third season wasn’t released until May 2024.

Since filming for the fourth season has already begun, it will most likely not end until eight months later, in May 2025. Adding a year of editing to this date gives us the estimated release date of the fourth season: August 2026.

Yes, Benedict and Sophie’s love story will take place more than two years after the release of Bridgerton’s third season.

Netflix producers definitely need to do something to speed up the release process of their series – fans are incredibly annoyed that they have to wait years for sequels. This is having a major impact on the show’s ratings and viewership.

Perhaps Rhimes will release a Bridgerton spin-off in the near future to appease audiences. A similar tactic worked for Queen Charlotte, so analysts are confident that a new prequel in the franchise will be released soon.
