Bridgerton's Benedict Up For A Huge Heartbreak In S3, And Here's Why

Although Bridgerton has only been released for 2 seasons, fans are already so hooked that they can't get enough. The beauty of a story lies in its layers, with each season exploring the relationship of a particular Bridgerton child, while others have their future stories set up in the background.

It's too easy to think of the show as a simple romance fiction and not pay too much attention to the details, but in reality, those details can easily be a key to an upcoming storyline.

Knowing that season 3 of the show would revolve around Colin Bridgerton and explore his love story with Penelope Featherington, fans of other characters are still trying to figure out what exactly awaits their favorites. For example, Benedict Bridgerton, the second Bridgerton child and second son, has yet to be explored.

And judging by how little fans have been spoiled or teased about his storyline in season 3, it's safe to assume that something big is in store for him. Something that could possibly set him up to be the next Bridgerton sibling to get his own season on the show, even.

Not only the fact that Benedict and Sophie's love story will fit perfectly into the show's timeline right after #Polin find their way to each other, but also all the little hints the viewers picked up in the last season make them believe that it's Benedict's turn soon.

However, those same clues also suggest that he may have to suffer before he gets there.

It may be more obvious to book readers who already know what's in store for his character from the original arc he had, but even TV viewers can remember him casually dropping a line to his sister Eloise about never experiencing heartbreak. While that wouldn't mean much in a real-life conversation, fans believe it's a telling sign for the show.

While some theories suggest that he will slowly turn to substance abuse and end up there, others believe that his storyline will be more fast-paced and that we will have a chance to meet both Lady in Silver and Sophie this season.

Whether this is true or not, we'll have to wait and see. Although there are many rumors floating around the internet, there is no official release date for Bridgerton season 3, so keep an eye out to not miss any important updates.
