The collection gave fans a look at the off-screen moments of the cast during the filming of Season 3, which was released in two parts between May and June 2024. The season focused on the slow-burn romance between Penelope and Colin, also known as 'Polin' by fans.

Netflix announced the renewal news during its annual upfront presentation to advertisers. The streaming service confirmed that Bridgerton will return for at least two more seasons, bringing the total confirmed seasons to six.

In addition, Netflix revealed that Bridgerton Season 4 will premiere in 2026. This season will follow the love story of Benedict Bridgerton (played by Luke Thompson) and new character Sophie Baek (played by Yerin Ha). A short clip was shown at the presentation featuring Benedict meeting Sophie at a masquerade ball, teasing a romantic storyline.

Bridgerton is based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling book series about the eight Bridgerton siblings. Each book focuses on one sibling’s romantic journey. So far, Netflix has covered three of them: Daphne, Anthony, and Colin.
