In a recent interview with Deadline, Brownell teased that her pocket square featured the initials “E” and “F,” confirming that the forthcoming seasons will explore the stories of Eloise Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie, and Francesca Bridgerton, played by Hannah Dodd. Although she did not disclose which sister would take the lead in season five, Brownell expressed her excitement about transitioning the focus from the Bridgerton boys to the sisters.
Brownell explained that the last three seasons have concentrated on the male characters, indicating a fresh narrative direction in the upcoming installments. “All I can say is that seasons five and six are definitely about the middle Bridgerton girls,” she stated. This shift promises to bring new dynamics and perspectives to the beloved series.
As fans eagerly await the conclusion of season four, Brownell confirmed that clues regarding the lead characters for the next seasons will be embedded within the current season. “Similar to the end of season three, there are some clues for people to parse,” she noted. The anticipation surrounding the series continues to build, especially with the expectation that viewers will uncover hints that lead to the next storyline, similar to the reveal of Benedict’s character arc in season three.
