Is Jonathan Bailey leaving 'Bridgerton? Star hints at future on Netflix show

Jonathan Bailey's Hollywood profile raises questions about his future on Netflix’s 'Bridgerton' series.

Jonathan Bailey has confirmed he will continue his role in Bridgerton, even as his career expands with high-profile film roles. The actor, who stars as Anthony Bridgerton, recently wrapped production on the Netflix drama’s fourth season, expected to release in 2026.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Bailey assured that despite the show’s rotating focus on different characters each season, he remains proud to be part of the ensemble. “I’ve never been someone who’s like, ‘Thanks, bye.’ It’s not in my nature,” he said, emphasising the sense of continuity and collaboration the series offers.

Bailey’s return comes as he takes on leading roles in global projects, including Wicked and Jurassic World Rebirth, set to premiere this summer. 

Filming on Bridgerton remains demanding, but Bailey credits the production’s structure and loyal audience as reasons to stay involved. “I know how important familiarity of character and storyand consistency is in long-running series,” he added.

Since debuting in 2020, Bridgerton has become one of Netflix’s most successful original series, and Bailey’s portrayal of Viscount Bridgerton helped lead season 2 to record viewership. His continued involvement reassures fans of the show's core cast stability amid broader changes.
