This Bridgerton Fan Favorite Character May Appear Earlier Than Expected (Watch Out For S3)
This could make a perfect early Christmas present for all Benedict fans.
Even though season 3 of Bridgerton hasn't hit the screens yet, fans are already deep into speculation about whose story will come next.
Benedict and Sophie are the leading couple in all the polls wondering about season 4.
Many fans go so far as to say that Sophie may be introduced to viewers earlier than expected.
Since she is one of the most beloved characters in the whole franchise, Shondaland would have to be very careful with the casting, but it would be a great surprise either way.
As in the original books by Julia Quinn, Benedict, and Sophie first, meet at the ball thrown by Violet Bridgerton as her “farewell ball.” Although the show's creators have been known to change some parts of the original story to better fit the show's narrative, this is one thing that viewers believe will stay the same, as the show is known for its beautiful depiction of balls.
If that happens in the first few episodes of season 3, that's when fans will meet Sophie. This would also give Benedict and Sophie's separate stories time to develop and unfold properly, while the show will focus mostly on Colin and Penelope. That way, everything will be ready for them to meet again and officially begin their run.
It's unlikely that the Bridgerton TV series will keep the canonical two-year gap between Sophie and Benedict's dates, but a full season and a little skip that could be written in between seasons 3 and 4 would be just enough to set the stage for the main events in the characters' story.
As of season 3 of the show, there is still no official release date set, but fans believe it will drop near the end of 2023. Keep an eye out for more Bridgerton news and behind-the-scenes updates to make sure you don't miss out on any important information!
