If you think you know which sibling will be the lead for Bridgerton season 3, think again! Producer Shonda Rhimes hints there might be some changes ahead: 'We're not necessarily going in order.' 🤔👀
Shonda Rhimes strongly suggests the already-ordered Bridgerton season 3 won't follow the same order as Julia Quinn's book series. This week marks the return of Netflix's hit period romance Bridgerton, which debuts Friday and kicks off a brand new love story. With gossip columnist Lady Whistledown watching over the scandals of London society, the new season will find Anthony , the eldest Bridgerton, finally agreeing to settle down with a wife.
Bridgerton season 2 is a noted departure from the first, which focused on the steamy romance between Daphne Bridgerton and Simon, the Duke of Hastings . Fans were stunned to realize Simon and Daphne would no longer be the focal point of the series, but that's just keeping with Quinn's books. Each novel explores the love story of another Bridgerton sibling, all the way through the youngest, Gregory.
"There's eight Bridgerton siblings, so we're planning on following each one of the siblings' romantic stories. We're not necessarily going in order but we are going to be seeing each of the siblings and their stories." Bridgerton showrunner Chris Van Dusen merely agreed with Rhimes' plan to focus on every sibling, which would mean the series needs to run for at least 8 seasons. For now, Netflix has renewed it through season 4, though more seasons beyond that seems pretty likely at this point. Still, on the off chance that Netflix doesn't give all the Bridgertons a chance at love, the desire to switch up the order could be to service some much-hyped romances.
Unfortunately, it might not be clear for a while as to who will be the lead for Bridgerton season 3. Rhimes did confirm they've already begun working on it. However, to say anything about it now would be to give away a spoiler. Could season 2 provide a massive clue? That's certainly a possibility. The Bridgerton books are bursting with exciting love stories, and it'll be exciting to see each one take to the small screen.
