All the ‘Bridgerton’ fans have a reason to rejoice as months after Netflix announced the show is returning for season two, Lady Whistledown has revealed that the drama has been renewed for seasons three and four as well.

Fans of the show have been on their toes since the streamer giant announced in January that ‘Bridgerton’ is coming back for season two, with the cast expected to return to production in the spring of 2021.

However, while sharing “the most joyous of news” with her dear readers, Whistledown did not disclose any details or dates. She has hinted that she would have a lot to write about. As she penned in a post shared by Shondaland’s Instagram account, “This author shall have to purchase more ink…”

Netflix announced in January that, just like in the Julia Quinn books, the upcoming chapter will focus on Anthony Bridgerton (played by Jonathan Bailey).

Earlier this month, the show hogged headlines when Lady Whistledown announced that the show’s lead man Rege Jean Page, who played the Duke of Hastings, will be leaving the show post-season one. However, it has been confirmed that the show will be getting a hugely extensive new cast.

Charithra Chandran will play Edwina Sharma, and Simone Ashley will portray Kate Sharma. Shelley Conn, Calam Lynch and Rupert Young are also joining the cast as Mary Sharma, Theo Sharpe and Jack, respectively. Series 2 is expected to release in 2022.
