Thirsty For News, Bridgerton Fandom Overanalyzes Luke Newton's Sideburns

Summary:

• Bridgerton is a romantic period drama based on the series of novels of the same name by Julia Quinn.
• Just like the books, the seasons of the show follow the love story of each Bridgerton sibling.
• Although the release date for season 3 hasn't been announced yet, fans are sure that season 4 is just around the corner, based on the appearance of the show's star.

The longer Bridgerton fans are forced to wait for the Season 3 release date, the more theories they are willing to create to satisfy their craving for news. At least that is what the last few months have shown. Although there were some rumors and some random dates floating around the internet over the summer, they all turned out to be false.

After the ‘December 14th’ rumors turned out to be fake and hopes for a Christmas release faded, fans were once again told to wait. Not just one, but several cast members of the show tried to ask for patience.

While the interest in the release date hasn't diminished, as fans eye a possible spring premiere for season three, another question has arisen. Perhaps even more intriguing than the release of Season 3. Based on Luke Newton's recent appearance on The Fashion Awards 2023, many are starting to believe in the upcoming start of filming for season 4

Who Is Going To Be The Lead In Bridgerton Season 4

What is the best indicator of male facial hair fashion? The sideburns. And as we've already learned from Jonathan Bailey 's dedication in season 1, the actors in Bridgerton are encouraged to grow their own instead of using extensions. And that is exactly what Luke Newton showed off at the event.

While the actor could easily have just taken a liking to the sideburns and incorporated them into his own everyday style, many fans believe that the return of the sideburns means that we'll be hearing more about season 4 sooner rather than later.

Season 4 filming rumors raise another question: who will be the sibling to take Colin Bridgerton's place and go looking for love?

Unfortunately, at this point, no one knows what Shondaland and Netflix have in mind. It would be most logical to go with Benedict or Eloise's seasons, since their characters are already very established, but there is no way to be completely sure.

By making Colin the focus of season 3, Shonda Rhimes has already messed with the book order enough to confuse anyone familiar with the source material. Besides, without season 3 footage itself, it's even harder to predict whose subplot would be best shaped to lead to their own romance story for the next season.

Keep an eye out for more Bridgerton season 3 news and behind-the-scenes updates, and don't miss the official release date announcement from Shondaland and Netflix.
