Netflix is already preparing the start of filming for the fifth season of Bridgerton for March 2026, less than a month after the premiere of the fourth season, a move that represents an advance compared to previous cycles of the production. According to various specialized sources, filming is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026, with the aim of accelerating the continuity of the saga.
The platform confirmed months ago that the fiction is officially renewed until season 6, as part of its long-term commitment to one of its most successful period series.
Although Netflix has not yet announced the release date of season 5, the fact that filming begins so soon —in March— opens up the possibility that the series will reach screens sooner than expected, if the usual production and post-production times are shortened. In previous cycles, several months have passed between the start of filming and the premiere, so many fans speculate about a potential release sometime in 2027.
Regarding the plot, according to well-founded forecasts and rumors on portals like What's on Netflix, season 5 could focus on the story of Eloise Bridgerton and Sir Phillip Crane, based on the novel To Sir Phillip, With Love, which narrates the development of their relationship through letters and encounters, although there are also rumors that the queer romance between Francesca and Michaela, the cousin of her husband John, will continue. But to date, there are no official confirmations
In any case, Bridgerton continues to expand its universe after the premiere of the fourth season, the second part of which will be released on February 26 and we will see what finally happens between Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek. Despite this, the series continues to keep its followers' expectations high with this accelerated return to production.
