Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek’s love story is officially streaming in full (via Netflix subscription), but now that Bridgerton’s fourth season has wrapped on the 2026 TV schedule, it’s time to look towards Season 5. Netflix renewed the Regency romance drama for Seasons 5 and 6 last year, but it’s still unknown which Bridgerton sibling, between Eloise and Francesca, is next. But there is more evidence that Eloise will finally get her love story.
Going by the order of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton novels, Eloise would presumably be the focus of the next batch of episodes. However, the book-to-screen adaptation has strayed from the book orders before, putting Colin before Benedict, so now it’s hard to tell. Showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed that Claudia Jessie’s Eloise and Hannah Dodd’s Francesca would be up next across Seasons 5 and 6, but didn’t specifically reveal which would come first.
