(Warning: Spoilers ahead for season 3 and the books.)
Bridgertonseason 4 (and season 3) showrunner and executive producer Jess Brownell understands.
Filming hasnt begun yet, but she says they will start this year.

So now the question turns to which Bridgerton sibling will be the focus of that highly anticipated fourth season.
(Also, in the book, John passes away, and eventually Francesca and Michael become involved.)
And two, she confirms well be seeing more of Masali Baduza, who plays Michaela, next season.
Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton in episode 307
I cant wait for people to get to know her more, Brownell says.
She absolutely nailed it, and I remember the moment Hannah met Masali.
After Masali left, she said, Well, thats her.

Hannah could feel it.
[Masali] and I have had a lot of talks about the weight and importance of her role.
And shes really stepped into it with just wonderful energy.
Victor Alli as John Stirling, James Duke as Minister Hughes, and Hannah Dodd as Francesca Bridgerton in episode 308
Up until now, there hasnt been a main queer relationship on the showand fans have noticed.
All three of them have a lot of growth still ahead of them, and thats very intentional.
We dont approach it that way.

(She didnt returnfor season 3.)
Ive talked to Nicola and Luke about the fact that there is more story to tell.
Everyone knows who Penelope/Lady Whistledown is now and knows shes reporting on them.
Polly Walker as Lady Portia Featherington, Ruth Gemmell as Lady Violet Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington, and Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton in episode 308
That brings with it a new set of challenges.
Luke and Nicola have said theyre game, and Im very excited to see where theyre going to go.
There is hope to have them back as much as we are able to make happen.
Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton, and Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma in episode 307
She is just such a part of the feeling of the show, Brownell says.
So, there you go.
