How Long Will ‘Bridgerton’ Last? Shonda Rhimes Spills

Shonda Rhimes confirmed Bridgerton will run for eight seasons with spin-offs possible, based on Julia Quinn's books, following over 100 million views for season one.

  • At the Edinburgh Film Festival, Rhimes told Mishal Husain that Bridgerton will run `Exactly eight` seasons, confirming the plan on August 20, 2025.
  • Based on Julia Quinn's books, the show is built around Violet Bridgerton's eight children, with Bridgerton seasons 1-3 streaming exclusively on Netflix and over 100 million viewers in season one.
  • Season 4 is in post-production and scheduled for 2026, centering on Benedict Bridgerton's romance with Sophie Baek and starring Luke Thompson.
  • Rhimes also teased possible spin-offs and prequels, signaling `a possibility for spin-offs` and that Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton novels, has offshoot books; Netflix has committed to Seasons 5 and 6.
  • Roughly two-year waits between seasons mean fans expect upcoming seasons to focus on Eloise Bridgerton, Hyacinth Bridgerton, and Gregory Bridgerton, while viewers will maintain hope for Seasons 7 and 8 until official confirmation.
