Bridgerton’s Season 5 Release in 2027 Is Its Quickest Return Yet

“I’ve said from the beginning that this show, in so many ways, is about allowing people to see themselves represented, allowing themselves to dream, and imagine themselves in these fantastical roles,” Brownell explained. “It never felt right to not be inclusive of queer love as well within that fantasy.”

Dodd and Baduza are also excited to help to lead a new story for the Bridgerton universe.  

“[Queer love stories] have traditionally been excluded from things like period dramas,” Dodd shared with Tudum in April, “and queer people did exist, have always existed, and will always exist.”

To which Baduza added, “What we really want to achieve is giving a realistic view of queer love onscreen and [giving them] a happily ever after.”
