Lovers of Netflix’s regency romance Bridgerton have come to know and love the beating heart of the tale, the monarch of the ton, Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) and this was only amplified by the regal spin-off Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story which landed back in 2023. One of the most prominent aspects of the show was Queen Charlotte and Lady Agatha Danbury’s (Adjoa Andoh) bond of sisterhood, even if not by birth. Lovers of the show will be pleased to hear that this precious relationship is set to be explored further in season four of Bridgerton.
During Netflix’s virtual Season of Love event, showrunner Jess Brownell revealed:
“It is also all about the relationship between Lady Danbury and the Queen this season. We learned so much about the origin of that friendship on the spin-off so we really wanted to dig into that this season, and you’re going to see some new levels and shades from that friendship. Of course, we’ll see more from her majesty the Queen. She’s got a new relationship with Penelope now that she knows who Lady Whistledown is and her relationship with Lady Danbury is also right at the center of the story.”
‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Will Spotlight the Love Story of Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek
In the spin-off show, audiences were given a look into how critical the relationship was in Queen Charlotte finding her feet as a young Princess navigating the weight of an entire kingdom on her shoulders. Agatha is a crucial confidant to the monarch, with Charlotte turning to her for advice and counsel in times when she has no one else. This, in fact, sustains in the years to come with Lady Danbury having a special influence on the Queen’s decisions, such as the esteemed diamond of the season. Agatha is also one of the only characters who sees Charlotte’s softer side despite their differing positions. Whilst many see the Queen as a strict and fierce ruler, Agatha is able to navigate her with the confidence of their friendship, making their relationship all the more valuable. Exactly how this will grow even further will certainly make for an exciting watch.
The special bond is set to be explored with the backdrop of an all-new romance between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). Benedict is from a well-respected family in the Ton and Sophie is a lady’s maid, which will certainly prove an uphill battle for the pair with a “class clash” on the cards, a real no-no for the members of high society. If there is any hope of the ton accepting the relationship, this acceptance must first come from the Queen and if anyone stands a chance of swaying her mind, it is certainly Lady Danbury, so it is possible she may have an imperative hand in this.
Bridgerton Season 4 does not yet have an official air date, stay tuned at Collider for updates.
