As anticipation builds for the upcoming season of Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan has shared insights that have sparked excitement among fans. The actress, who embodies the role of Penelope Featherington, revealed during an interview with Good Morning America on October 9 that Season 4 promises to be “amazing.”
In this new chapter, Coughlan’s character has transitioned into a “happily married” role alongside Colin Bridgerton, portrayed by Luke Newton. She expressed her enjoyment of this development, saying, “It’s very fun to be playing like a happily married person with a very cute baby.” Coughlan noted that Penelope and Colin have overcome past challenges, allowing them to fully embrace their love and enjoy life together.
Season 3 focused on the evolution of Penelope and Colin from friends to lovers, while the narrative of Season 4 will adapt the story from Julia Quinn’s novel, An Offer from a Gentleman. This upcoming season will shift its focus to Benedict Bridgerton, Colin’s brother, played by Luke Thompson, and his romantic journey with Sophie Baek, represented by Yerin Ha.
While details remain limited, Coughlan lauded Thompson and Ha, stating they have been “doing an amazing, amazing job” as the season is currently in production. She highlighted their dedication to their lead roles, emphasizing the strength of the new storyline.
Additionally, Coughlan addressed the importance of representing diverse relationships in Bridgerton, particularly a potential queer storyline in Season 4. She underscored the significance of accurately depicting LGBTQ+ experiences in media, commenting on how important it is for the show to reflect a wide array of love stories.
In Season 3, the introduction of Francesca Bridgerton and the gender-swapped character Michaela Stirling offered a glimpse into the show’s exploration of varied romantic dynamics. Coughlan expressed hope for the future of these narratives, stating, “I just know that it’s going to be done so well by Hannah and Masali.” She conveyed confidence that when the moment is right, the actors will deliver a performance that resonates with viewers.
