  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nCome one, come all, it's time to return to the Ton! **Bridgerton season 4** is finally on Netflix, and we're already getting updates on _Bridgerton_ season 5 (because yeah, ICYMI, _Bridgerton_ is coming back for **seasons 5 AND 6**). It's widely believed that season 5 will tell **Eloise's love story** and I'm crossing all my fingers and toes because this might just be my favorite one. Well, we just got the best update on the new installment — it could be headed into production soon!\n\n* * *\n\n## Who will _Bridgerton_ season 5 be sbout? Here's the latest update on _Bridgerton_ season 5, coming to Netflix soon!\n\n### Will there be a season 5 for Bridgerton?\n\n\n\n\nYes, _Bridgerton_ season 5 is on its way! **Reports suggest** filming could begin in spring 2026 in England, which will give the new episode that airy, pastel aesthetic the show has become known for. Stay tuned for official filming updates!\n\n### Is Bridgerton season 5 about Eloise?\n\n\n\n\nShonda Rhimes hasn't officially told us who will be the central love story in _Bridgerton_ season 5, but all signs are pointing to Eloise. Author Julia Quinn posted on Instagram teasing that we'll see Eloise's love story soon. In **the photo collage** (captioned \"Looking back… and looking ahead\"), Julia Quinn asks actress Claudia Jessie if she's read the books, and Claudia replies, \"I know everything.\"\n\nFans took this as a sign that Eloise's story is up next, commenting everything from \"OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENINGGG\" to \"We are so close to the Philoise era! I can’t wait! But first wishing Benophie a successful release too.\"\n\nPlus there's the fact Luke Newton went viral for teasing Luke Thompson and Claudia for stepping into the spotlight. \"[Nicola Coughlan and I] were really lucky that it felt like we had two years to prep for it, we knew that we were next,\" **he says** during BuzzFeed's puppy interview. \"So getting to watch the [other leads] was a real treat actually.\"\n\nThen, he turns to Claudia (Eloise Bridgerton) and says, \"You had that as well, to be fair.\"\n\nClaudia just plays it off, exclaiming, \"I don't know what you've been saying for the last five minutes!\" While this could just be referencing the fact that Claudia — and the rest of the Bridgerton family actors — are prepping for their own seasons, it does feel a bit on the nose.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHowever fans are also wondering if season 5 could follow Francesca (Hannah Dodd), who recently lost her husband John (Victor Alli). At Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie's (Yerin Ha) wedding, both women talk about their future hypothetical romance when Kate asks whose wedding is next.\n\n\"Oh, I do love a wedding. All the best people in the same place,\" Eloise says, before clarifying she meant as an attendee. Meanwhile, Francesca says, \"I have had my great love. One time is enough.\" So it's a 50-50 chance if you ask me!\n\nOur social reporter Kayla even **dives into** why she thinks season 5 will center Francesca after season 4 focused so much on her relationship with Michaela. Who do you think is next?\n\n### When is Bridgerton season 5 coming out?\n\n\n\n\nWe don't have an official release date, but if the show really does begin filming in the spring of 2026, we could see it a year later. Filming takes around 8 months, and in the past the show dropped over a year after filming wrapped (season 2 premiered in March 2022 after filming wrapped in November 2021, and season 3 premiered in May 2024 after filming ended in March 2023).\n\nSo all in all, we could see _Bridgerton_ season 5 in 2027, or even 2028 if they keep up the 2-year cycle.\n\n### What is Bridgerton season 5 about?\n\n\n\n\nIf _Bridgerton_ season 5 is about Eloise, it'll follow the plot of _To Sir Phillip, With Love._ The somber Sir Phillip and chatty **Eloise Bridgerton** aren't exactly a match made in Heaven. But when unexpected first impressions lead to an engagement, they soon realize they might have been meant for each other all along.\n\n### Who's in the Bridgerton season 5 cast?\n\n\n\n\nThe _Bridgerton_ season 5 cast is sure to include all our favorites, but stay tuned for some new faces too! So far, _Bridgerton_ stars:\n\n  * **Jonathan Bailey** as _Lord Anthony Bridgerton_\n  * **Ruth Gemmell** as _Lady Violet Bridgerton_\n  * **Florence Hunt** as _Hyacinth Bridgerton_\n  * **Claudia Jessie** as _Eloise Bridgerton_\n  * **Luke Newton** as _Colin Bridgerton_\n  * **Luke Thomp****son** as _Benedict Bridgerton_\n  * **Will Tilston** as _Gregory Bridgerton_\n  * **Hannah Dodd** as _Francesca Bridgerton Stirling_\n  * **Simone Ashley** as _Kate Sharma Bridgerton_\n  * **Daniel Francis** as _Marcus Anderson_\n  * **Masali Baduza** as _Michaela Stirling_\n  * **Victor Alli** as _John Stirling_\n  * **Yerin Ha** as _Sophie Baek_\n  * **Chris Fulton** as _Sir Phillip Crane_ __\n  * **Nicola Coughlan** as _Penelope Featherington Bridgerton_\n  * **Adjoa Andoh** as _Lady Agatha Danbury_\n  * **Julie Andrews** as _the voice of Lady Whistledown_\n  * **Jessica Madsen** as _Cressida Cowper_\n  * **Harriet Cains****** as _Philippa Featherington Finch_\n  * **Bessie Carter** as _Prudence Featherington Dankworth_\n  * **Polly Walker** as _Portia Featherington_\n  * **Golda Rosheuvel** as _Queen Charlotte_\n  * **Emma Naomi** as _Alice Mondrich_\n  * **Martins Imhangbe** as _Will Mondrich_\n  * **Hugh Sachs** as _Brimsley_\n\n\n\n### What is the 5th Bridgerton book?\n\n\n\n\nThe fifth Bridgerton book is called _To Sir Phillip, With Love_ , and is about Eloise and Phillip Crane's love story.\n\n**Check out Bridgerton's Yerin Ha Praises Showrunner Jess Brownell For This \"Empowering\" Character Change to hear what the star had to say.**\n\n_This post has been updated._",
