Warning, major spoilers for season 3 part 2 ahead…
Bridgerton has appeared to confirm which sibling will take centre stage in season four – and we couldn’t be more excited. Warning, MAJOR spoilers for the season three part two finale – you have been warned!
In the final moments of the season finale, which landed on Netflix on Thursday, all is well with Colin and Penelope, and so the drama sets the stage for the other Bridgerton children – and most specifically, Francesca and Benedict.
In episode eight, Eloise is delighted after Francesca invites to her go to Scotland with herself and her new husband, Lord Kilmartin. But a huge twist reveals that Kilmartin’s cousin Michael Stirling – who becomes a love interest for Francesca in the later novels – has been gender-swapped to Michaela.

Since it will be several years before the romance involving Michaela takes place, we think that – with Eloise and Francesca tucked away in Scotland ahead of their major romance storylines – Benedict will instead take centre stage for season four, and a conversation with Eloise appears to confirm our suspicions.
In the final moments of the episode, the brother and sister discuss how they will miss one another while Eloise is in Scotland, only for Eloise to hint that she will be returning for their mother’s Masquerade Ball just a few months later – which is where Benedict meets his love interest Sophie Beckett in the novels.

He said: “I will be there! Hiding behind a mask, avoiding eligible ladies like the plague,” to which Eloise replied: “I will join you in your hiding place then.” Ironically, Sophie is technically not eligible, as she is the illegitimate daughter of an Earl, and is forced to work as a housemaid due to her stepsister. Thanks to the Cinderella-inspired storyline of Benedict’s main novel, An Offer from a Gentleman, Sophie sneaks to the Masquerade Ball in disguise, where Benedict falls madly in love with her.
