Season 2 of Bridgertonsent the hearts of millions into overdrive when Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) the cold and shut-off eldest Bridgerton brother with the weight of the world on his shoulders met his match in no-nonsense-taken Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
The season marked the slow unraveling of the pair in a true enemies-to-lovers trope that saw Anthony go from courting Kate’s younger sister Edwina (Charithra Chandran) to becoming utterly obsessed, choked, honor-hanging-by-a-thread over his feelings for Kate. After professing his love in a climatic season finale, the pair rode off into the pall mall-shaped sunset. The couple only made a brief appearance last season, which put the spotlight on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington’s (Nicola Coughlan) friends-to-lovers romance. The good news for Kanthony lovers is that the duo will be making a collective return to season four, with their romance on full display and the pair more in love than before.
During the show’s Season of Love special virtual event, Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell revealed:
“We’ve got Anthony returning, Johnny Bailey, which we’re very excited about. I can reveal here for the first time today that we also have Simone Ashley returning. So, Kanthony will be together again and we will get to be seeing more of their marital bliss and seeing their baby as well so lots of fun.”
Although an exciting prospect, Brownell did not reveal how many episodes the loved-up couple would appear in, but fans can only hope it will be more than last season.
Season 4 of ‘Bridgerton’ Will Focus on Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek’s Romance
Whilst Kanthony will capture the essence of martial bliss in season four, new love is also on the horizon for eccentric Bridgerton brother Benedict (Luke Thompson) and the mysterious Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). In a story that will capture a “clash of class”, the pair’s fated romance is forced to face an uphill battle as a gentleman and maid coming together is certainly not an accepted nor applauded union in the eyes of the ton. Although the story will pull on Cinderella-style themes, Brownell vowed that Sophie is most certainly no “damsel in distress”, boasting over her “chess” style thinking and roaring independence.
Audiences can see love come alive in season four of Bridgerton. Unfortunately, the installment does not yet have a release date but it is expected to hit Netflix next year, which would align with the two-year gap of previous seasons. You can stay tuned to Collider for more updates on the upcoming season.
