"And it would seem their dreams are coming true. Speaking to Deadline at the season four premiere at Paris' Palais Brongniart showrunner Jess Brownwell confirmed a queer love story was coming. "Both characters with the initials on my pocket squares will get seasons in five in six. In what order? I can't say," she told the entertainment outlet. Her delicate white lace pocket squares bore two initials - E and F pointing to Eloise and Francesca Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie and Hannah Dodd respectively."
"Focusing on the love story of Benedict Bridgerton ( Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), the first few episodes will drop on 29 January. The second batch will arrive on 26 February. Fans had long hoped that the series would deliver on Benedict's queerness, which was initially hinted at in earlier seasons before being explored more explicitly in season three. But trailers haven't indicated how that will progress in the upcoming season. Though, obviously Benedict will remain a queer character."
"At the very end of the season she met his cousin, Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza), a gender swapped version of the character Michael from the book, When He Was Wicked. In the book, after Sir John dies, Francesca falls in love with his cousin. Trailers for season four feature both Francesca and Sir John. If Sir John's death is included in the upcoming season that would leave Francesca in a position to start her new romance at the top of seasons five or six."
Season four of Bridgerton will premiere with initial episodes on 29 January and a second batch on 26 February, centering on Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek. Benedict's queerness was hinted in earlier seasons and explored in season three, and Benedict will remain a queer character. A prominent queer love story is set to feature in upcoming seasons. Initials E and F have been signaled as tied to Eloise and Francesca, suggesting those characters will lead seasons five and six. Francesca met Michaela Stirling at the end of season three, and the books depict Francesca falling for Sir John's cousin after his death, which could launch her new romance in later seasons.
