The
final four episodes of the third season started streaming on
Thursday, wrapping up a highly-anticipated friends-to-lovers arc
between characters Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton.
"We want to give a few months for Pen and Colin to have their
moment and enjoy their glory," said Brownell, who took the reins
from series creator Chris Van Dusen as the new showrunner for
the third season.
"We will be making an announcement about the next season sooner
rather than later," she added.
The Regency-era romance series is based on the books by Julia
Quinn, with each focusing on a sibling of the Bridgerton family.
The third season skipped the third book in Quinn's series about
Benedict Bridgerton to focus on Colin and Penelope.
The next season is in development, said Brownell, but fans will
have to wait to discover which sibling takes the lead.
"I can tell you that it is going to be extremely juicy," she
told Reuters at the launch of the second part of the third
season in London.
"I think as a writer you sharpen your skills every season. And
as a showrunner, I feel like I learned on the job a lot this
season, but now I'm really just enjoying myself and playing
around and having a good time."
Developed by Shonda Rhimes' television production company
Shondaland and Netflix, "Bridgerton" is set in the early 1800s
and follows the scandals and successes of the social season as
young marriageable members of the nobility look for love.
Rhimes, creator of shows such as "Grey's Anatomy", "Private
Practice" and "Scandal" is committed to keep going.
"We're very dedicated and we have eight books. It was always my
intention. We have eight siblings, eight books, eight seasons.
That's been my hope forever," she said.
