Jonathan Bailey hints at future with 'Bridgerton'

Jonathan Bailey is not saying goodbye to Bridgerton anytime soon.

As Netflix confirmed seasons five and six of the series ahead of the season four premiere in 2026, the 37-year-old actor revealed in a recent chat that he will stick to the series as long as he is required.

"I've never been someone who's like, 'Thanks, bye,'" he told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's not in my nature."

"I know how much I love long-running series," he noted. "I know how important familiarity of character and story and consistency is in these long-running series."

As Bailey's character, Anthony Bridgerton, is married now, his role will be supporting and the series will continue to focus on other siblings' love stories.

"There's a real sense of brotherly pride I feel in it," he said of his co-stars

Teasing her future plans, he added, "I look forward to, in another however many years, when we've done the eighth season to sit around and be like, 'Look what we all did together.'"

Still, he admitted fame came fast, "I just feel that maybe Bridgerton was just a smidge quicker than I was prepared for."
