Bridgerton's upcoming fourth season will provide a fresh perspective by focusing on the domestic staff, particularly highlighting Sophie Baek's romantic story with Benedict. Golda Rosheuvel shared that this season is a "celebration" of the staff’s lives, moving the narrative from the traditional high-society setting to explore their personal stories. Showrunner Jess Brownell believes the expansion to the downstairs world is a natural progression after three seasons of exploring the ton's rules. This shift sparks fans' speculation for a potential spin-off centered on the household staff, similar to 'Downton Abbey.'
"It's slightly different this year because we're going downstairs," Golda Rosheuvel teased at the Bridgerton Season of Love fan event on Feb. 14. She described the upcoming installment as a "celebration" of the behind-the-scenes staff.
Not only does this new focus mean spending more time with existing characters - like the Bridgerton household's footman, John - but it could also lend itself to a popular theory about the franchise's future.
As showrunner Jess Brownell put it, "I feel like we spent the first three seasons really digging into the upstairs world and getting to know the rules of the ton. And so it felt right that after three seasons we could expand the world out and go downstairs."
