Season 4 of Netflix's hit series Bridgerton is Luke Thompson's time to shine - but some viewers might find themselves distracted by the footman John playing a larger role on the show. Higginson has been a presence in Bridgerton House since the show premiered in 2020. It wasn't until season 2, however, that fans took a liking to the character when he kept a watchful eye over Eloise (Claudia Jessie) amid her rebellious streak. After taking a backseat in the third season, Higginson found himself in more scenes when season 4 premiered on January 29.
