So that means it’s entirely possible Bridgerton season 3 won’t follow Benedict Bridgerton, who fans assumed would be up next. While promoting Bridgerton season 2, Rhimes told Entertainment Tonight that the show will be covering each sibling, however they won’t “necessarily” be going in order of the books. Because the first season follows the first book, The Duke and I, and the second season follows the second book, The Viscount Who Loved Me, everyone assumed season 3 would be based on book 3, An Offer from a Gentleman.īut in a surprising turn of events, it looks like that might not be the case! Shonda Rhimes confirms Bridgerton seasons won’t follow the book order In case you missed it, Rhimes previously revealed she has plans for there to be eight seasons of Bridgerton, which makes sense considering there are eight books written by Julia Quinn.

According to executive producer Shonda Rhimes, the next seasons of Bridgerton will not follow the pattern we were expecting. Well, we have to wait until season 2 to be released to find out the answers to all of our burning questions, but we did just get a shocking update about the show that fans need to know. We know that Regé-Jean Page unfortunately won’t be back as Simon Basset, but will he make a surprise cameo? And how exactly will Anthony Bridgerton ( Jonathan Bailey) and newcomer Kate Sharma’s ( Simone Ashley) romance play out? We’re all waiting at the edge of our seats for Bridgerton season 2 to premiere on Netflix this Friday, and of course, fans are doing all they can to find crumbs of clues on what they can expect.
