Clip Farming has been a recurrent feature on social media which a lot of viewers have expressed annoyance against. Unfortunately, it seems like a popular streaming platform has also jumped on the bandwagon of the trend.

Netflix’s new feature Moments has been introduced so that users can bookmark, rewatch, and share their favorite moments from shows but that is not all. To some this feature seems like a scheme for something else, it would help not only discourage people from taking screenshots but also promote clip farming on the site and related shows.

Dearest gentle reader, we’re excited as Bridgerton season 4’s officially confirmed! That’s right, Regency-era romance is set to sweep us off our feet once more, thanks to Netflix, Chris Van Dusen, and the brilliant Shonda Rhimes.

Since its debut in 2020, Bridgerton’s become a pop culture phenomenon, and it’s not hard to see why. Season 3, part 1 raked in 2.76B minutes of viewing time in the U.S. alone! As fans swoon over the latest season, we can’t help but wonder about the next installment.

Benedict Bridgerton: The Bohemian Heartthrob

So, when can we expect to see our beloved characters back? Well, an official release date is still a mystery. On Sept. 16, 2024, Netflix teased us, revealing that production was officially underway. Filming kicked off at Shepperton Studios outside of London, where the season 4 leads,...

Nicola Coughlan and rumored boyfriend Jake Dunn are continuing to fuel the reports that they’re a couple with a Pda-filled outing.

The 37-year-old Bridgerton actress and the 24-year-old actor were seen holding hands and embracing each other while walking down the street in London this week. You can see the photos on People.

The outlet reports that Nicola and Jake were seen having “a cozy night at the Auld Shillelagh Irish bar in Stoke Newington.”

Back in August, Nicola and Jake were seen looking cozy while hanging out at the All Points East Music Festival in London. They also were photographed together back in June.

Nicola has previously faced rumors that she was dating her co-star Luke Newton and she just addressed those reports in a new interview.

Jake is an actor who was most recently seen in the TV series Renegade Nell and the new movie William Tell.

5 Actors Who Could Play Prince Charming in Disney’s Live-Action Film - Main Image

For the first time since his debut in the animated movie Cinderella in 1950, Prince Charming will finally have a live-action solo film bearing his name.

Chris Hemsworth is reportedly in talks to star in Walt Disney Pictures' Prince Charming, with Wonka director Paul King at the helm. Simon Farnaby and Jon Croke will co-write the film with King.

But aside from the MCU star, several other actors could effortlessly embody this iconic character, showcasing their charm, charisma, and undeniable screen presence.

To that effect, here are five actors who could play Prince Charming in the upcoming Disney live-action film.

Luke Newton

Fresh from the latest season of Bridgerton, the Ton universe will be eager to see Luke Newton as the new Prince Charming.

In addition to his youthful charm and fresh face—some of the best...

The ‘ton was ablaze with gossip this morning when Luke Thompson’s Benedict Bridgerton was announced as the lead for Bridgerton season four.

Netflix revealed the second-eldest Bridgerton sibling would be on the marriage mart for the next installment, following season three’s love story between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).

According to the logline, season four “turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down.” However, when he meets a mysterious Lady in Silver at Violet Bridgerton’s (Ruth Gemmell) masquerade ball, that all changes — and Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Colin couldn’t be prouder.

Julia Quinn’s An Offer from a Gentleman — the third book in her novel series — will serve as the basis for Benedict’s season as he pursues (spoiler alert!) Sophie Beckett. According to the book’s description,...

Nicola Coughlan, who portrays Penelope Featherington on Bridgerton, is speaking out in a new interview.

The 37-year-old actress revealed a few tidbits of what is to come for Penelope and Colin (aka Polin) in the show’s fourth season, spoke about the rumors she’s dating co-star Luke Newton, responded to headlines about her body in the more intimate scenes, and more in Time‘s new profile.

In a recent interview, Nicola offered a hint about the role that she’ll play when she brings Penelope back to life. She also reacted to news that Bridgerton would highlight same-sex love with Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) seemingly being set up for a romance with a woman.

Dearest gentle readers, it seems the reports of a certain member of the Bridgerton cast exiting the series ahead of season 4 have been greatly exaggerated.

Despite rampant speculation that the upcoming fourth season would not see the return of Simone Ashley as Kate Bridgerton, Ashley has dispelled the rumors by confirming she will indeed be back in some capacity for the upcoming fourth season of Netflix’s hit regency era romantic drama.

"I know that I am returning, but that’s all I can say,” Ashley confirmed to Glamour UK in a new interview when asked about her involvement in the upcoming season which has begun filming in the UK, “I absolutely adore the show, and the more I can be a part of it, the better. They’ve been really kind to work around my schedule.”

While Ashley was unable to provide any specifics about her involvement in the upcoming fourth season,...

Discussing the upcoming season with Netflix’s Tudum, Thompson described season four as a twist on Cinderella. “What’s striking about season 4 is that it’s the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world,...

Netflix’s Regency-era drama Bridgerton is all atwitter this Wednesday afternoon as news that Yerin Ha is about to light up the hit show’s fourth season. Netflix unveiled a teaser video this morning introducing Ha as Sophie Baek (Sophie Beckett in the books), the love interest of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). Sophie engages in a slow-burn romance with Benedict in Julia Quinn’s novel An Offer From a Gentleman, the source material for Bridgerton Season 4.

Here’s the official logline for Bridgerton Season 4 courtesy of Netflix:

“The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”

In An Offer From a Gentleman, Sophie is the daughter of an earl and one of his maids. Despite living in the earl’s house,...

Yerin Ha, soon to be seen in Dune: Prophecy, has joined the cast of Bridgerton season four as Sophie Baek aka the Lady in Silver. Ha will be a series regular in the upcoming season, playing a maid who catches Benedict’s eye.

Netflix offers this description of Ha’s character: “Sophie Baek has been forced to spend much of her life working as a maid for the most demanding employer in the ton. But the resourceful Sophie always finds a way to persevere through her circumstances — which will drastically change after she disguises herself to attend Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball and meets Benedict Bridgerton.”

Speaking with Netflix’s Tudum, Yerin Ha talked about what she loved about Sophie. “What drew me to Sophie was that she immediately has obstacles — something that she constantly has to overcome,” said Ha.

Updated: It’s official. Netflix has confirmed Yerin Ha will join the Season 4 cast of Bridgerton as the love interest for Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). As was previously reported (see below), Ha will portray Sophie Baek, a name change from Sophie Beckett in the book series, to reflect Ha’s Korean heritage. Sophie has a slow burn romance with Benedict in Julia Quinn’s novel An Offer From a Gentleman, on which Season 4 will be based.

This is not the first time Bridgerton has changed the name of a character from the books. In Season 2, Kate Sheffield’s surname was changed to Sharma to reflect the character’s Indian heritage.

The streamer also unveiled a first-look teaser featuring Ha as Sophie. Watch it below.

Are you ready to return to the world of Bridgerton?

Netflix sure is, and details are beginning to trickle out.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, the series isn’t expected to return until 2026 due to the long production and post-production process for the global smash hit.

Bridgerton Season 4 will focus on Lord Benedict Bridgerton’s quest for love, meaning that Luke Thompson will lead the upcoming chapter after three seasons as a supporting cast member.

“Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball,” the logline teases.

But who will be the object of Benedict’s affection?

An entirely new character that has never appeared in the series before, which is always interesting.

Viscount Anthony Bridgerton is staying put. Jonathan Bailey confirmed today that he will be back reprising his role as the eldest Bridgerton sibling in the upcoming fourth season of the hit Netflix period drama. Like was the case in Season 3, focused on his younger brother Colin (Luke Newton) finding love with Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), Anthony is expected to pop in and out for a few key scenes next season.

“I have a couple of weeks etched out in my schedule for returning,” Bailey said about filming Season 4 of Bridgerton during a GMA interview focused on his Emmy-nominated turn in Showtime’s Fellow Travelers. “I look forward to reading the scripts.”

Unlike the Season 1 couple Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Regé-Jean Page) whom we never saw together again, Season 2 leads Anthony and his bride Kate (Simone Ashley) were both back in Season 3. (Dynevor returned solo for a couple of scenes...

Netflix Lifers, we have some good news to report on the upcoming Bridgerton season 4. Back in July 2024, we learned who would be leading the fourth season, and it ended up being Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). Now, we've just learned that another fan-favorite character is confirmed to be returning in the fourth season. It's none other than Anthony Bridgerton, who is played by Jonathan Bailey.

Bailey announced this news during a morning interview with Good Morning America on Aug. 16. While mainly there to talk about the historical romance miniseries that he starred in, Fellow Travelers, the Emmy-nominated actor briefly spoke about the highly anticipated Bridgerton season 4.

When asked about what Anthony will get up to in the fourth season, Bailey responded by saying that he doesn't know yet but that he's looking forward to reading the scripts. He then goes on to say that he's set out time in his work...

Netflix has become notorious for taking its time with its hit shows like Bridgerton and Stranger Things.

Both series’ fans have become accustomed to the years-long wait between season drops.

However, the streaming giant is also known for dishing out details to keep fans sated.

That’s where TV Fanatic has you covered because here’s everything we know...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers from the Bridgerton books.] Bridgerton‘s fourth season has its next lead! Netflix announced Luke Thompson‘s Benedict will step up as the leading sibling in the upcoming chapter, which leaves us wondering, who will be next after him? Although Bridgerton isn’t technically renewed for Season 5 quite yet, the show’s continued success makes it a likely candidate for renewal. Now that we know Benedict will be the focus of Season 4, this leaves two main contenders for Season 5’s lead: the Bridgerton sisters, Eloise (Claudia Jessie) and Francesca (Hannah Dodd). Netflix While previous seasons would have led us to believe that Eloise would be the obvious next candidate, the expansion of Francesca’s story onscreen in Season 3 has made that case less certain. As fans will recall, Season 3 shook things up by presenting Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin’s (Luke Newton) love story before Benedict’s story, shifting the order of Julia Quinn...

The idea that Luke Thompson would need a “glow-up” as Benedict Bridgerton on Netflix‘s hit Shondaland series Bridgerton is quite silly, but when it comes to the characters occupying the Regency-era romantic drama, it isn’t out of the realm of possibility. As with past leads, Jonathan Bailey and Luke Newton each got their glow-ups as Bridgerton brothers Anthony and Colin in their respective seasons, so will the newest lead Luke Thompson’s beloved Benedict also be getting one? It would seem so, at least according to one member of the show’s costume department, who revealed in a since-deleted comment to fans, “Just you wait.” Liam Daniel / Netflix Shared on Instagram on Wednesday, July 24th, Lewis Westing who has worked as a men’s tailor and cutter on both Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story revealed behind-the-scenes photos of Thompson’s costuming for Season 3. “Luke Thompson/ Benedict...

As Colin and Penelope reflect on their newfound relationship in Part 2, they seem to realize just how in love they are. Yet secrets still hang over the happy couple. Namely, that Mayfair knows Penelope by another, more secret, moniker: Lady Whistledown, the ton’s most infamous scandal sheet writer.

The show will turn its attention to the second-eldest Bridgerton brother, who is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver (or — spoiler alert! — as book fans will know her, Sophie) at his mother’s masquerade ball.

As the dust is settling from Bridgerton Season 3, Netflix has unveiled next season’s candidate.

It’s official — Benedict Bridgerton will take on the mantle in the fourth run of Shondaland’s smash hit regal drama, as he searches for his “Lady In Silver” Sophie.

In a teaser, which you can watch below, Netflix says its “most compelling match will be unmasked” — a telling clue for fans of the books — before posing: “Welcome to the marriage mart, Benedict.”

A number of scenes featuring the Bridgerton brother are then shown before a short skit with actor Luke Thompson in which he is offered a suit “for the masquerade ball.”

This builds on the teaser at the end of the Season 3 finale where Eloise — taking off to Scotland with Francesca — promised to be back in time for their mother’s famous masquerade ball. That is where Benedict and Sophie first cross paths in the books.

It’s official: Season 4 of Netflix’s “Bridgerton” will focus on the love story of perpetual bachelor Benedict Bridgerton.

Benedict, who is portrayed by Luke Thompson, has taken a backseat in recent seasons but will now be the next Bridgerton sibling to find their soulmate. The season will follow the events of Julia Quinn’s third “Bridgerton” novel, “An Offer From a Gentleman,” which sees Benedict searching for a “lady in silver” he meets at a masquerade ball who turns out to be a low-born woman named Sophie Beckett.

In the “Bridgerton” Season 4 logline that accompanied the announcement, Netflix confirmed that Benedict’s love interest is still that woman. “The fourth season of ‘Bridgerton’ turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson),” it reads. “Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver...

Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland perfectly blended the books by Julia Quinn into the series adaptation and the show is most loved by the viewers worldwide. The most recent season of the modern classic showcased a controversial spin on the original novels with steamy scenes, major twists, and shocking revelations, making Bridgerton one of the most-watched shows ever. With that said, fans are eagerly waiting for the next season to gush over the love story of another Bridgerton sibling, so let’s explore what we know about Bridgerton Season 4 so far.

Bridgerton first premiered in December 2020 on Netflix. Created by Chris Van Dusen, the show is set in the glamorous world of Regency London, where the Bridgerton family navigates the complex terrain of high society.

Bridgerton casting director Kelly Valentine Hendry revealed that she gets tons of “unsolicited” emails with fan auditions for the hit Netflix series.

Hendry said in a recent episode of the Should I Delete That? podcast that she is constantly having to go through and delete messages in her inbox, noting that it’s always “90 percent” full of spam from fans.

“It’s every day…I get the most unbelievable videos, unsolicited,” she said. “It’s sex, basically. It’s not actual sex but it’s quite punchy, the stuff that comes through to me. It’s not nude pictures, but not far off. It’s a bit sad, really.”

At the moment, the casting director added that many fans are aiming for the role of Sophie Beckett, the love interest of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) in Julia Quinn’s books, which inspired the Netflix romance series. However, the Bridgerton team...

Sex sells, as the advertising and marketing adage suggests. But unfortunately for a whole bunch of acting aspirants, TV’s bodice-ripping Bridgerton ain’t buying.

The show’s casting director, Kelly Valentine Hendry, revealed on the podcast Should I Delete That? that she is inundated with unsolicited sexual recordings.

“I get the most unbelievable videos, unsolicited,” she said. “It’s sex, basically. Not actual sex, but it’s quite punchy the stuff that comes through to me. Not nudie pictures, but not far off. It’s sad, really.”

It’s not just a few, either. Hendry claimed her inbox reaches almost 90% capacity each day from the stream of sex auditions.

The show is not shy about sex when it comes to its own cast. Season 3 follows Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) bedding Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), preceded by similar couplings in the first two seasons.

The latest season of Netflix’s hit period drama “Bridgerton” has ignited a heated debate about body representation in media, with fans and critics alike weighing in on the show’s depiction of a romance between characters of different body types.

Season 3, which began streaming in May 2024, focuses on the relationship between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). While the pairing, affectionately dubbed “Polin” by fans, has garnered praise for its chemistry and storytelling, it has also become the center of a contentious discussion about weight and beauty standards in Hollywood.

The controversy was fueled by a series of articles in major publications, including The Spectator and Forbes, which used terms like “mixed-weight romance” to describe the on-screen couple. The Spectator’s piece, in particular, drew sharp criticism for its blunt assessment of Coughlan’s appearance, describing her as “not hot” and questioning the plausibility of her...

“Bridgerton” casting director Kelly Valentine Hendry recently appeared on the “Should I Delete That?” podcast (via US Weekly) and revealed that her inbox is getting spammed with tons of “unsolicited” fan auditions for Season 4 of the Netflix romance series.

“It’s every day … I get the most unbelievable videos, unsolicited,” Hendry said. “It’s sex basically. It’s not actual sex but it’s quite punchy. It’s not nude pictures, but not far off.”

According to the casting director, her inbox is always “90 percent” full of emails from fans seeking a part on “Bridgerton.” She revealed that at the moment many fans are gunning for the role of Sophie Beckett, who in the “Bridgerton” novels is the love interest of Benedict Bridgerton (played by Luke Thompson on the Netflix series). The team behind the show has not yet confirmed what love story will be the central focus for Season...

Shondaland’s Bridgerton continues to dominate Netflix after the third season achieved the biggest opening weekend compared to its previous installments. As per Nielsen’s charts, the period drama remains at the top for three consecutive weeks since it premiered on May 16.

The Regency-era series has been a fan-favorite show since it was introduced in 2020. Apart from the elaborate setting and stunning costumes, each cast member was given a chance to tell their stories.

Bridgerton Retains The Crown On The Streaming Charts

In an article from The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix’s Bridgerton ranked number one with 1.38 billion minutes of watch from May 27 to June 2 as per Nielsen, the company that measures the viewers for television, radio, and newspapers.

The series has been a popular choice for the audience since its first season, but the latest installment starring Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington...

The parties must be exquisite. The writer must be unmasked. The Queen will ensure it.

Bridgerton Season 3’s slow start left me unsure what to expect from the four-part finale. Even so, the plot’s hesitance wasn’t contagious for this author – I completed the new episodes the night of their release and was met with a series of callbacks to Julia Quinn’s fourth Bridgerton novel, a more refined set of side plots and some new twists that book loyalists may not expect.

The engagement of Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) to Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) introduces new branches of romance and drama. Penelope, aware that she must reveal herself as Lady Whistledown to her soon-to-be-husband, grapples with the worry that Colin will not love her once he truly knows her. Her anxiety is perpetuated by Colin’s sister Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who knows her secret and threatens to reveal...

[Editor’s note: The following article contains spoilers for the end of Season 3 of “Bridgerton,” as well as for the Francesca Bridgerton book “When He Was Wicked.”]

In the final moments of “Bridgerton” Season 3, Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) is set to depart for Scotland with new husband John (Victor Alli) after enjoying a quiet romance during the “Polin” season. Francesca was reintroduced to the Bridgerton clan this past season, and a big plot point was how different she is from her siblings — much more reserved and shy. It makes sense then that the character would relish a quiet estate in the country, rather than continue in the hustle and bustle of London.

Just before Francesca and John are set to depart to their new home, however, John introduces Francesca and Eloise (Claudia Jessie) to his cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza), whom viewers see Francesca has an instant spark with.

Book readers’ ears likely perked up, because in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton book about Francesca, “When He Was Wicked,...

Who Will Bridgerton: Season 4 Focus On – Benedict, Eloise, Or Francesca?(Photo Credit –Instagram)

After a painfully long wait that felt like an eternity (in reality not even a month though), Bridgerton: Season 3 – Part 2 premiered amid much fanfare. As Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton) walked into the golden sunset, they left behind large shoes to fill. No matter how much we miss the couple, as Lady Whistledown says, we have to accept, “It is time now to look toward the future, whatever it may bring.”

But, it also brings to the fore the most burning question raging among the fans regarding who will headline the fourth season. While the showrunner Jess Brownell shared in a recent interview that “it’s either Benedict, Eloise, or Francesca.”.

When Brownell was asked in an interview with Glamour, she refused to divulge the protagonist, but shared, “I think we can be frank...

Nicola Coughlan dropped her first pop song and was inspired by queer icons and Bravo’s The Real Housewives franchise.

The Bridgerton star turned a viral interview she did during the Netflix series’ press tour into a song that will benefit LGBTQ+ organizations.

Titled “Shoes… More Shoes,” Coughlan worked with music producer Ellis Miah to make the track happen.

“Like Lennon & McCartney, Dylan and the other great lyricists I too wrote my first song by improvising some voice notes to @ellismiah in the 30 minutes I had before getting ready to go to Mighty Hoopla,” Coughlan wrote in the Instagram caption sharing a snippet of the song. “Thank you to all the Queer Icons and Real Housewives who served as inspiration, I live for you.”
