With Netflix's long-earned reputation for canceling fan-favorite shows after one season, there has been a lot of curiosity around the fate of Bridgerton as far as a new season goes. The streaming platform has ruthlessly canceled shows based on statistics despite good storytelling.
While the show has had three successful seasons, with a fourth one underway, one might wonder about its fate in the long run. The show is based on Julia Quinn's novels, which tell the story of the Bridgerton siblings. Each season follows the story of a single sibling, mimicking the structure of the novels.
While the first three seasons follow the stories of Daphne, Anthony, and Colin, respectively, it is confirmed that the fourth season will follow the story of Benedict. Bridgerton was set to achieve an eight-season goal on Netflix, adapting the entirety of Quinn's eight novels.
While the previous seasons of the show have received immense reviews and viewership from audiences, it is hard to say how long the show will be able to continue this reputation.
Which Bridgerton season is likely going to be centered around Gregory?
While the show has faithfully followed Quinn's novels by adapting one sibling per season, this might not be the best structure to follow going forward.
The audience's patience is dwindling with the increasing wait between consecutive seasons. Some audiences, already fans of Quinn's novel, are waiting to see their favorite character's story getting an adaptation. However, it may seem that Gregory fans have a long queue to follow.
Gregory is the youngest of the siblings, and Quinn's final novel of the series, On the Way to the Wedding, was written after him. With season 4 reported to be released in 2026, Gregory might get his season in 2034 if Netflix does not cancel the show.
What issue does Bridgerton need to overcome to get to Gregory's season?
The series has a long way to go before reaching Gregory's season. Grace and Frankie is currently Netflix's longest-running original, having aired for seven seasons. To complete its eight-season ambition, Bridgerton needs to sustain viewer ratings.
Bridgerton has the economical choice of merging two novels per season, but this might upset the fans who enjoy the attention to detail in each sibling's story. While the show has an advantage with its already established fan base, Netflix is constantly pushing on originals, which might bring new audiences to the platform.
It is hard to say whether Netflix will have the widely loved show run for eight seasons if the show does not attract a new viewership with each season. The series will have to break records and bring in a new audience with every season to sustain on Netflix and reach Gregory's storyline.
