The fourth season of Bridgerton, while ultimately satisfying Benedict and Sophie\u2019s dishy romance, had an abundance of subplots and more than one callback to the once (and maybe future) spin-off. In the interest of time, I\u2019m going to be blunt: was Bridgerton Season 4 setting up Queen Charlotte Season 2?<\/p>\n
In the unfortunate event that you missed it, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story dropped one six-episode season on Netflix in 2023. The prequel represents the best that Bridgerton has to offer, with complicated love stories that explore societal pressure and desire in a world that is escapist but still complicated. The cast alone is worth holding onto tight forever. India Amarteifio and Corey Mylchreest dominated the central romance as Queen Charlotte and King George, respectively. Arsema Thomas nearly stole the show as a young Lady Agatha Danbury, the Queen\u2019s confident who falls into an unexpected love story of her own. So did Sam Clemmett as the young Queen\u2019s secretary, Brimsley. <\/p>\n
Queen Charlotte is focused, sexy, perfect little gem. It could easily have been a one season wonder. But then why did Bridgerton Season 4 wink in its direction so much? I, for one, am suspicious. <\/p>\n
Lady Danbury made a big move in Bridgerton Season 4 <\/p>\n
In the fourth season of the Netflix series, Lady Danbury a.k.a. Agatha expressed a desire to leave London and return to her ancestral lands. (As we learned in Queen Charlotte, Agatha Danbury was born Soma Anderson in Sierra Leone and has royal blood.) Charlotte was not pleased by this news, and therefore Agatha spent the remainder of the season making sure that her friend would have the support she needed in her absence. The two had a particularly memorable fight, in which they grappled with the fact that Agatha, as the Queen\u2019s subject, could never truly be her friend. There\u2019s an inescapable power balance. <\/p>\n
All of these little moments made me, at least, long for a rewind. There\u2019s clearly so much more to their story! The way that Charlotte and Agatha were looking at each other in the finale, I half-expected them to momentarily turn into their younger counterparts from Queen Charlotte. <\/p>\n
I feel like I\u2019m pretty good at noticing when a show is setting up a spin-off or a potential storyline in a future season. Am I totally off base here? Are we going back to the past, or what? There hasn\u2019t been an official Queen Charlotte Season 2 announcement. Golda Rosheuvel told People<\/a> that she wasn\u2019t sure it was necessary. Aren\u2019t there other origins to tell, she said?<\/p>\n Bridgerton Season 4 hinted at Violet\u2019s first love as well <\/p>\n Bridgerton Season 4 also saw Violet reminiscing about Edmund Bridgerton even more than usual. Between her dalliance with Lady Danbury\u2019s brother Marcus and Francesca losing her husband, it was top of mind. We\u2019re surely going to see this tale on screen eventually, right? Even Benedict mentioned their famed connection. The whole reason that Violet advocates for her children to make love matches instead of marrying for money or power is that, back in the day, she had the real deal. Connie Jenkins-Greig played the young Violet Ledger in Bridgerton. We got to see the beginning of her friendship with Lady Danbury in the series, but that\u2019s it. Her epic romance is still on the table. <\/p>\n Technically, it doesn\u2019t even have to be Queen Charlotte Season 2 in name. We could still see this cast return to these roles in a new limited series spin-off called Lady Danbury: A Bridgerton Story or Violet & Edmund: A Bridgerton Story. Whatever works! I\u2019m not ashamed to admit my own desperation! If you can\u2019t for a franchise as open-hearted as Bridgerton, when can you? <\/p>\n Director and executive producer Tom Verica told Deadline<\/a>, definitively, that more spin-offs are in the cards. Hopefully there will be news soon. He was deliberately vague about which familiar faces would take that spotlight, given how large the cast is and how many characters have connected with audiences. \u201cThe particular ones we\u2019re talking about,\u201d he said, \u201cit\u2019s going to be really, really enjoyable.\u201d <\/p>\n (featured image: Liam Daniel\/Netflix)<\/p>\n Have a tip we should know?
