Another Bridgerton Romance! Follow Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma’s (Simon Ashley) epic slow romance, fans have wondered if Benedict Bridgerton’s (Luke Thompson) journey to find love would be put on hold.

The season 2 finale, which was released in March 2022, ended with Anthony and Kate finally accepting their strong feelings for each other. After the elder Sharma sister accepted his proposal, the couple happily enjoyed the next chapter in their lives, which included another iconic game of Pall Mall.

According to the Julia Quinn books that inspired the hit Netflix series would be the second oldest Bridgerton brother’s turn. Ahead of the season 2 premiere, Thompson talked about the pros involved in shifting focus each season.

“I think the benefit of having a series where you switch leads like that every season is great because it brings a whole new breath of fresh air. We have a whole new family there. Even just the feeling of the show — it’s going elsewhere, which is so nice to share,” he shared The cover March 2022.

The UK native commented that he didn’t ask too much about his character’s storyline before filming his scenes.

“You don’t suspect too much and actually, in a strange way, as an actor you don’t really want to suspect too much because if you do, if you know exactly where you’re going, you can end up doing a lot of signage and explaining your journey through things rather than just living it,” he explained at the time. “I actually think, in a strange way, like in life, that we don’t know overnight what’s going to happen It is better not to know too much.”

During Season 2, viewers got to see Benedict helping his older brother in the midst of Anthony’s struggles with his love life.

“If you’re siblings, I think you’re kind of made of the same stuff. You have huge similarities, which makes you simultaneously a really good person to confide in, but also kind of the worst person because you’re too similar,” The club alum added about the siblings. “And so basically I think what’s so beautiful about their relationship is that in all those scenes you feel like you’re being teased and this kind of teasing is actually their way of understanding each other and themselves.”

Benedict, for his part, became confused when it came to his identity as an artist after being accepted into the Royal Academy. The second season ended with Benedict discovering that Anthony had paid for him to join the school – questioning their future dynamic.

“It’s a lot of fun to play because it’s very complex,” Thompson said of the ups and downs between the duo. “It is very difficult to get in touch and it is not a straight forward relationship. And that also makes it a lot of fun to watch, I think, because they don’t let go of each other.”

That same month executive producer Shonda Rhimes hinted that there may be a story shake-up. “There are 8 Bridgerton siblings, so there are eight books. We definitely plan on following each of their romantic stories,” she shared during an interview with Entertainment tonight. “We don’t necessarily go in order. But we’re going to see each of the siblings and their story.

May 2022, Nicholas Coughlan confirmed that the romance in the fourth novel between Colin Bridgerton (Lucas Newton) and Penelope Featherington will be the focus of Season 3. New showrunner at the time Jesse Brownelfor whoever takes over Chris vanDusen, broke the reason behind the decision.

“I really feel like it’s time for Colin and Penelope. Having watched both actors on our screens since Season 1, we’ve already invested a little bit in them. We know who they are as people,” she shared Variety that same month. “I feel like, especially in the last season, there are moments of tension between them where it’s like Colin walks up to the line and almost realizes that Penelope has feelings for him, but doesn’t quite get there. Instead of treading water on that dynamic, we wanted to push it into their season. It really felt like the perfect time to set it up.
