"I wonder if that means we'll get a book-accurate epilogue set several years into the future with Benophie already on their third [child] and Sophie announces she's pregnant with Violet at the ball with Benedict," the user wondered. (In the book, the couple are parents to three boys when Sophie reveals that she's expecting - and they plan to name the new baby Violet, in honor of the Bridgerton matriarch.)"
"While Benedict's book isn't the only one to end with a sizeable time jump - Daphne and Anthony each had multiple kids in their respective epilogues - the show has been a little more restrained in this area, only offering glimpses into the characters' near future. But as the Redditor noted, there could be a structural benefit to ending Bridgerton Season 4 with a substantial skip. "I hope so," they wrote, "because whoever is the lead for S5 needs the time jump.""
Bridgerton Season 4 appears likely to closely follow Julia Quinn's An Offer from a Gentleman and may include a book-accurate epilogue jumping several years into the future. In the novel, Benedict and Sophie are parents to three sons when Sophie reveals she is expecting again and plans to name the baby Violet. Including a substantial time jump could provide necessary age progression for characters and create structural benefits for Season 5. Eloise's storyline in the novels begins shortly after Benedict's epilogue with a pen-pal relationship with Philip Crane, and Francesca would similarly benefit from the passage of time.
