Dissecting the End of Bridgerton's Fourth Season
But really, the plans for season 5.
The year is 2086. With a trembling, liver-spotted hand, 96-year old Claudia Jessie rises to her feet using a cane and heaves a bone-crunching sigh, reaching for the shiny wig that will give her Eloise Bridgerton’s signature brunet half-updo. “Eloise is almost ready,” promises a hologram of Shonda Rhimes. “The time has to be right. We can’t wait another day to tell the story of the Bridgerton great-grandchildren, but we promise you’re up next, or maybe the one after that. Take your calcium.”
And so it is that season 5 of Bridgerton belongs to Francesca and Michaela, and presumably season 6 will finally go to Eloise, after an interminable number of years in which she grimaces her way through basic social interactions and mumbles stuff about the marriage mart and feminism. At this rate Jessie will quite possibly be 40 first, playing a girl who is at most 28. She is the Ian Ziering of Netflix. I hate it for her.
I also hate, for poor Hanna…
