According to Netflix, production for the fourth season is currently underway, but fans will have to wait as showrunner Jess Brownell predicts a two-year gap before the season is released. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brownell explained, “We’re working to put the seasons out more quickly, but they take eight months to film, then they have to be edited, dubbed, and written, which takes a long time."

In addition to Thompson and Ha, Jonathan Bailey confirmed his return as Anthony Bridgerton in season 4, telling Good Morning America that he has "a couple of weeks etched out" for his role. Bridgerton seasons 1-3 and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story are currently streaming on Netflix.
