"When it comes to Bridgerton, Julia Quinn literally wrote the book on it. The author serves as a consultant on the Netflix series, giving her some insider insight into many of the topics fans hotly discuss. Ahead of Bridgerton Season 4, Part 2's release on Feb. 26, she weighed in on an ongoing debate, telling Us Weeklythat she doesn't see a need for two core roles to be recast before the show adapts the last two books in her eight-part series."
"Florence Hunt and Will Tilston have played the titular family's two youngest members, Hyacinth and Gregory, since Bridgerton filmed its first season in 2019. They were both just 12 years old at the time, meaning fans have watched them grow up over the series' four seasons to date. That history has made fans debate whether or not they should be recast with new actors before their characters each get a chance to lead a season."
"Quinn has evidently seen the discussions, and while the decision isn't in her hands, she told Us Weekly that she thinks "it'll probably be OK" to keep Hunt and Tilston, who both turned 19 in early 2026. As she pointed out, Seasons 5 and 6 will follow Eloise and Francesca's love stories, so we're years away from the youngest siblings' time to shine."
Florence Hunt and Will Tilston have portrayed Hyacinth and Gregory since Bridgerton began filming in 2019, starting at age 12, and have grown on screen across four seasons. Fans debate whether to recast them before those characters lead individual seasons because of the series' sensual content and expectations of nudity. The show's schedule places Hyacinth and Gregory's lead stories after Seasons 5 and 6, which focus on Eloise and Francesca, meaning several years will pass before their turns. By that time the actors will be in their twenties, reducing the need for replacement as child actors commonly mature on screen.
