\n\tBridgerton<\/a> showrunner Jess Brownell<\/a> knows which characters will center Seasons 5 and 6 of the period drama, but viewers will have to wait a bit longer before the order of their love stories is unmasked.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrownell, who took the reins of the Netflix<\/a> series for Season 3, wore two dainty white pocket squares embroidered with the initials E and F along with her elegant brown and maroon suit and gloves at the Season 4 red carpet premiere, which was held in Paris, France at the Palais Brongniart.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBoth characters with the initials on my pocket square will get seasons in five in six,\u201d Brownell told Deadline\u2019s Nada Aboul Kheir on the carpet. \u201cIn what order? I can\u2019t say.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe order of the letters was \u201cEF\u201d which could simply just be alphabetical like the names of the Bridgerton siblings, or hint at Eloise\u2019s story being Season 5 and Francesca\u2019s taking center-stage for Season 6. Bridgerton, based on the book series by Julia Quinn, has been renewed for fifth and sixth seasons<\/a>. Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise, remained mum about whether or not Season 5 could be Eloise\u2019s love story.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI wish I could say that I have started working on [Eloise\u2019s story],\u201d Jessie told Deadline. \u201cThat would make me seem like such a professional as well if I was starting to work on it.\u201d Jessie\u2019s reaction can be watched in the video below.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actress concluded by blowing a raspberry and saying that is all she has to say on the matter.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Season 3, Hannah Dodd took over the character of Francesca Bridgerton, who married Victor Alli\u2019s John Stirling. Readers of Francesca\u2019s book, When He Was Wicked know that John tragically dies, and then Francesca falls in love with his cousin, Michael. Season 3 introduced a gender-bending twist<\/a> to this love story in casting Masali Baduza as Michaela Stirling<\/a>, who viewers met in the finale.<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly time will tell, but should we become reacquainted with a certain Sir Philip Crane (Chris Fulton) once more, that would make the competition even more fierce when it comes to which Brigderton sister will next step into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 4 of the popular show debuts on Jan. 29 with its first four episodes (Part 1), followed by the next four (Part 2) on Feb. 26.<\/p>\n
