Fans of the series "Bridgertons" are eagerly awaiting the next season of this popular Netflix production. Although the details about season 4 are still a mystery, based on the available information we can already make assumptions about what awaits us in the upcoming episodes. The author of the novels on which the series is based, Julia Quinn, revealed that work on season 4 is already underway, and showrunner Jess Brownell promises that viewers will receive many exciting surprises. It is speculated that the plot may focus on the fate of Eloise Bridgerton or finally return to Benedict's story. Regardless of what the future brings, one thing is certain - "Bridgerton" fans have many reasons to look forward to the premiere of the next season.
Production Plans and Work Schedule for Season 4
Although the official premiere date of Season 4 of "Bridgerton" has not been announced yet, we already know that work on the next episodes is in full swing. According to reports from Production Weekly, filming for the new series is scheduled to start on June 10 this year. This is information that has not yet been confirmed by Netflix, but it was previously said that the crew would return to the set in the summer.
Showrunner Jess Brownell revealed that the script writing process for season 4 is currently underway. At the same time, she assured that the creators already have an outline of the plot for the next few seasons. This suggests that production plans go back to quite a distant future and fans can count on "Bridgertons" being on screens for a long time.
Will Season Four Focus on Eloise?
Although so far the "Bridgertons" series has followed subsequent volumes of Julia Quinn's best-selling series, the creators have made no secret of the fact that they can allow themselves a certain amount of creativity when adapting the books. Therefore, it is difficult to say clearly whose fate Season 4 will focus on. 
One of the production's stars, Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton, admitted that if her character were to be at the center of events, it would not be a problem for her. The actress emphasized that each of the characters has a chance to shine in a given season, regardless of whether their love story is the main plot.
Showrunner Jess Brownell also revealed that in the upcoming episodes of season 3 there will be a hint that may suggest who will be the main character of series 4 . Therefore, it is worth following the events in Ton closely.
Back to Benedict's Story?
Although the 3rd season of "Bridgerton" omitted the story of Benedict (played by Luke Thompson) and focused on the romance of Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton), fans still hope that the time will come to learn the fate of this hero. 
Showrunner Jess Brownell admitted that the creators felt it was too early for Benedict to settle down in season 3. Instead, they wanted the character to have a few more adventures before getting his own love story.
There are speculations that season 4 of "Bridgerton" may focus on Benedict's search for love. Although nothing has been decided yet, fans are eagerly awaiting developments in this thread.
Creative Adaptation of the Novel
The creators of the series "Bridgertons" do not hide the fact that they are not afraid to make changes to the script compared to the literary original. Already in the 3rd season, they decided to skip the story of Benedict and jump to the romance of Penelope and Colin, although this thread was supposed to be the axis of the 3rd volume of Julia Quinn's novel.

Showrunner Jess Brownell announced that the series may once again follow its "own path", not necessarily sticking strictly to the book's chronology. This means that fans should be ready for many surprises and twists that may differ from the events depicted in the novels.
Such a creative adaptation of the book saga undoubtedly adds freshness and unpredictability to the series, which certainly pleases viewers. We can only hope that the creators of "Bridgerton" will be able to skillfully balance between faithfulness to the literary original and introducing their own, intriguing ideas.
New Faces in Season 4?
Although the cast of "Bridgerton" is already well known to fans, we can certainly expect that new characters will also appear in season 4. This was the case in the 3rd series, where it was joined by, among others, Rupert Young as Jack Featherington and Hannah New as Lady Tilley.
Jess Brownell announced that the creators have a map of the development of events for the next few seasons, which is why we can expect that new residents will join Ton. Perhaps we will learn the fate of a new family or meet characters who have only appeared episodically so far.
New faces will certainly bring an additional dose of freshness and unpredictability to the series universe. Fans of "Bridgerton" can therefore look forward to what surprises the creators have in store for them.
References to Previous Seasons
Although each season of "Bridgerton" focuses on a different couple, the series makes sure to connect individual threads and maintain narrative continuity. Therefore, we can expect that season 4 will contain numerous references to the events of the previous installments.
Perhaps we will learn the fate of characters who have so far appeared in the background, and now they will be more exposed. It is also possible that threads that were previously only hinted at will return and will now be more fully developed.
Such measures will undoubtedly make it easier for viewers to follow the complex network of connections between the characters, and at the same time make the series even more coherent and satisfying for fans.
Continuation of Popular Threads
Although "Bridgertons" focuses on a different couple each season, some storylines are so popular that the creators cannot completely omit them in subsequent installments. 
One such example is the story of Penelope Featherington and her alter ego, Lady Whistledown. This thread was key in Seasons 1 and 2, and then returned in Series 3. There is no indication that he will disappear from the screen, so we can expect that season 4 will also devote a lot of attention to Penelope's adventures.

It is equally likely that in the upcoming episodes we will be able to follow the further fate of Eloise Bridgerton and her friend Cressida Cowper. Their relationship became one of the main points of interest in season 3 and will certainly continue.
This type of continuation of popular plots is a way to maintain viewers' interest and at the same time build a coherent, multi-threaded world of "Bridgerton".
References to the Book Saga
Although the creators of the "Bridgertons" series are not afraid to introduce changes in relation to the literary original, fans of Julia Quinn's novels still hope that the series will refer to the events presented in the books.
So far, the adaptation of the book saga has been quite faithful, with minor exceptions, such as the omission of Benedict's story in the 3rd season. Therefore, we can expect that the 4th installment will contain numerous references to the fourth volume of the series, "Romancing Mister Bridgerton".
Perhaps we will learn the fate of Francesca Bridgerton, whose social debut was one of the most important threads in season 3. Or maybe the series will finally focus on Benedict's search for love, as it did in the book.
Regardless of what season 4 will focus on, fans will certainly appreciate all the references to the original saga, which will make them feel even closer to the world of the series.
Fans' Expectations
Without a doubt, fans of the series "Bridgertons" are eagerly awaiting the premiere of season 4. Although details about the upcoming installment are still shrouded in mystery, viewers already have their own expectations and theories about what might happen.
Many fans hope that the upcoming episodes will finally focus on the story of Benedict Bridgerton. This character is extremely popular among viewers, and her omission in season 3 caused a lot of disappointment. That's why fans dream of seeing Benedykt looking for his other half.
Equally many viewers speculate that season 4 may focus on the fate of Eloise Bridgerton. Her relationship with Cressida Cowper became one of the main plots of series 3, and Eloise herself is an extremely charismatic character. Therefore, fans would welcome this development with enthusiasm.
Regardless of what the 4th season of "Bridgertons" will ultimately focus on, fans certainly expect that the creators of the series will surprise them with new, intriguing plot solutions. Expectations for the upcoming installment are really high.
