Bridgerton‘s fifth season may not arrive on Netflix until 2027, but Shondaland’s hit series based on Julia Quinn’s books is already gearing up for the next chapter, with Season 6 seemingly taking shape.

While it is definitely a little too early to know any details about Bridgerton Season 6, there are a few things that we do know and new tidbits that have surfaced amid Season 5’s production. Below, we’re breaking down the things we do know as well as the things we can speculate on based on Quinn’s books. But stay tuned for more official details as they’re revealed in the years and months ahead.

Who will be the leads of Bridgerton Season 6?

No casting for Season 6 has been officially announced, but despite initial speculation following Season 4 that Season 6 would follow the order of Quinn’s books, it will not be Francesca (Hannah Dodd) leading the season alongside Michaela (Masali Baduza) as they step up to lead Season 5. Instead, we’re likely to see Eloise’s (Claudia Jessie) love story come to life, but no official indication has been made. When it is Eloise’s turn to step into the spotlight, she’s expected to do so alongside Sir Phillip Crane (Chris Fulton). After all, showrunner Jess Brownell teased as much to Swooon when she said, “She’s ending up with the love interest from her book.”

Which book is Bridgerton Season 6 based on?

Since the show is going out of order once again, with Season 5 set to follow Quinn’s sixth book, When He Was Wicked, it is possible Season 6 could tackle To Sir Phillip, With Love, which showcases Eloise’s story. [Spoiler Alert – Book Plot] In the book, Eloise begins writing letters back and forth with Sir Phillip, and after resigning herself to a life of spinsterhood, she finds herself in a marriage arrangement, taking on the task of caring for his children. In the show, those would be Marina’s (Ruby Barker) twins who were fathered by Phillip’s late brother. Despite initial indifference upon her arrival, Phillip is captivated by Eloise’s beauty, and she’s intrigued by his imperfections.

When will Bridgerton Season 6 premiere?

No premiere date announcements have been made for Season 6, but as Season 5 production begins to wrap up in the weeks ahead, What’s on Netflix reported that script work for Season 6 is seemingly underway. Details about a timeline remain unknown for now, but we wouldn’t anticipate Season 6’s arrival until at least 2028 or even later. Stay tuned for official word as we look forward to Season 5’s impending arrival in 2027.
