Bridgerton has confirmed which sibling will take central roles in season 4 – and we couldn't be extra excited. Warning, main spoilers for the ultimate episode of season three half two – you might have been warned!
Within the last moments of the season finale, which dropped on Netflix on Thursday, all is effectively with Colin and Penelope, and the drama thus units the stage for the opposite Bridgerton children — and specifically, for Francesca and Benedict.
In episode eight, Eloise is overjoyed when Francesca invitations her to go to Scotland together with her and her new husband, Lord Kilmartin. However a significant twist is that Kilmartin's cousin Michael Stirling – who turns into a lover to Francesca in later novels – has been gender-changed to Michaela.
Since a romance with Michaela will take a number of years to happen, we’ve got a sense that — with Alois and Francesca hiding out in Scotland forward of their main romance storylines — Benedict will take heart stage for the fourth season, and the dialog with Alois appears to verify our suspicions.
Within the episode's last moments, brother and sister focus on how a lot they'll miss one another whereas Eloise is in Scotland, however Eloise hints that she'll return in only a few months for his or her mom's masquerade ball – which is the place within the novels Benedict meets his girlfriend, Sophie Beckett.
He stated: “I'll be there! Hiding behind a masks, avoiding eligible ladies just like the plague,” to which Eloise replied: “I'll be a part of you in your hiding place then.” Mockingly, Sophie isn’t technically eligible, as she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl, and is pressured to work as a maid due to her stepsister. Because of the Cinderella-inspired story of Benedict's major novel, An Supply from a Gentleman, Sophie sneaks into the masquerade ball in disguise, the place Benedict falls head over heels in love together with her.
Followers had been thrilled by the reveal, with one posting on Axe: “Okay. So #BRIDGERTON SS4 is 100% going to be Benedict's season, with him being the masquerade ball referee. And Michael Sterling is NOT Michael Sterling OMFG! And who’s Sophie??? Severely I'm simply dying to know. Additionally, please inform me when will Philip and Eloise meet?!”
One other particular person stated: “I don't care about Michaela proper now. Subsequent season is Benophie's. The Masquerade ball is developing. Look forward to us Sophie Beckett. You're lastly coming house. Oh my god I'm crying now. We did it.” A 3rd fan joked: “Benedict get out of that girl's mattress, your real love Sophie is ready!”
