With each season following the siblings' respective books by Julia Quinn. Liam Daniel / Netflix Season 1 and Season 3 notably rank No. 5 and No. 8, respectively, on Netflix's list of their most popular TV seasons of all time.
Of course, Season 3 came with so many memorable moments like the carriage scene, the mirror scene, the reveal of Lady Whistledown to the Ton, and more. And while Season 3 concluded in 2024, fans are already clamoring for the next season, which is based on one of the most beloved books in Quinn's Bridgerton series, An Offer from a Gentleman. Netflix An Offer from a Gentleman follows Benedict (Luke Thompson) finding love, and it's literally the Bridgerton version of Cinderella. The book follows Sophie Beckett, who dreams of finding her "Prince Charming" when she sneaks into the Bridgertons' famed masquerade ball. Ultimately, she ends up spending the night with Benedict.
