Bridgerton Season 6 Is Already in the Works – and This Fan Favorite Takes Center Stage.

While the actors of Bridgerton are currently still in front of the cameras in the UK filming Season 5, planning has long been underway behind the scenes. As reported by the portal What's on Netflix, the writing team has already begun preparations for the sixth season and is gathering initial ideas for the scripts. Netflix has not yet officially announced a filming start – so it's the writing work that's now getting underway, not the production itself.

For fans of the Regency world, this means: between romance, scandals, and ball season, things could continue seamlessly after Season 5 – provided Netflix gives the green light for a sixth round.

Who Should Be at the Center of Season 6

At the center of the planned sixth season is precisely the Bridgerton sister who cares the least about balls and the British marriage market: Eloise, played by Claudia Jessie (36). This also brings her romance with the widowed Sir Philip Crane closer to the forefront, which Julia Quinn tells in her novel "To Sir Phillip, With Love." Those who know the books know: Eloise's story unfolds considerably more quietly than that of her sisters – no London ballroom as the setting, but a country estate, correspondence rather than flirting in person, and a man who is himself raising two small children on his own.

What Is Officially Known So Far – and What Isn't

Anyone looking for a firm premiere date for Season 6 right now will be disappointed: according to What's on Netflix, Netflix has confirmed neither a start of filming nor a release date. All that is certain so far is that the scripts are in the works. How long the writing phase will take and when production could begin also depends on how extensive the filming for Season 5 turns out to be – it is still currently underway.

What This Means for Fans

Concretely, this means: those who have been rooting for Eloise can look forward to more of her world – only patience is still required. Until Netflix gives the green light and a concrete starting gun fires, the sixth season and Eloise's romance with Sir Philip remain a promise from the writers, nothing more.
