It's only been a few months since Bridgerton Season 3 wrapped, but I'm going to be honest: I am still having a Bridgerton summer.
Netflix
Of course, Bridgerton returned this year after a two-year wait with Season 3, which focused on Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope's (Nicola Coughlan) love story. As of July 3, the season became Netflix's 10th biggest English-language series, with a reported 91.9 million views and counting.

From the carriage scene to the mirror scene and everything in between, Bridgerton Season 3 was one of the most talked about shows this year, so it's no surprise that fans like myself are already eager for ANY information about Season 4.
Netflix
In July, Netflix officially revealed that Season 4 will focus on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and his search for love. The season will be an adaptation of Julia Quinn's third book, An Offer from a Gentleman.
Netflix
An Offer from a Gentleman follows Sophie Beckett, who dreams of finding her "Prince Charming" when she sneaks into the Bridgertons' famed masquerade ball. Ultimately, she ends up spending the night with Benedict.
The series notably skipped over Benedict's story to adapt Colin and Penelope's book first.

And as with the previous Bridgerton seasons (and books), while another Bridgerton sibling will become the lead character, that doesn't mean we won't see the previous leads make an appearance. The characters often pop in and out of each other's books quite frequently.

Regé-Jean Page is the only series lead who has not returned following his season of the show. Phoebe Dynevor made an appearance in Season 2, but did not return for Season 3.
Nicola and Luke N. have been told they will return as Penelope and Colin in Season 4. Nicola told The Wrap that it's "super-lovely," and they can't wait to "pop back and have some fun."

"I look forward to reading the scripts and finding out myself," Jonathan said when asked if he knew what would happen with Anthony in Season 4.

Last we saw Anthony and Kate in Season 3, Kate was pregnant, and the duo decided to travel to India for the birth of their baby.
He added, "I have a couple of weeks etched out in my schedule for returning, so I'm really excited."

In June, Simone Ashley also teased Anthony and Kate's return, saying, "Both Johnny and I, we adore our characters, Kate and Anthony, so much and their relationship and what they mean for the show. I think we'll do all we can with our schedules to make it work so that we can, hopefully."
And while Jonathan doesn't know too many specifics about what exactly will happen with Anthony, Kate, and the rest of the characters in Season 4, he's simply excited that the show can keep exploring all different types of love stories.
Netflix
He explained to GMA, "The thing about Bridgerton, which is so brilliant, is there are so many different ways that you can fall in love as humans, and that's what this show will explore."

Jonathan added, "And, obviously, being the older brother, I'm going to be there to support the youngsters as we go."

In terms of supporting Luke T., Jonathan couldn't be more excited to see him take on the leading role in Season 4, saying, "Luke Thompson is just going to be stunning. And who knows who his love interest is going to be."
Netflix
"Benedict's full of wonder and joy, and he's the beating heart of the family, so yeah, it should be brilliant. I can't wait," he added.
Netflix
Production for Season 4 is reportedly scheduled to start in the fall, with showrunner Jess Brownell saying it could be a two-year wait until the new season hits Netflix.
