Spoiler warning signal : The following article bear despoiler from the Bridgerton books .
A ugly tragedy is in memory for oneBridgertoncharacter , and it might chance much sooner than anyone anticipated ( much to my dismay ) . The Netflix historic love affair idiot box show is based onJulia Quinn’sBridgertonbook serial , which chronicles the different dear taradiddle of each Bridgerton sibling — Daphne , Anthony , Benedict , Colin , Eloise , Francesca , Hyacinth , and Gregory . Since each novel revolves around one romance , the Netflix show follows suit with every season accommodate one Koran . Season 1 is about Daphne , time of year 2 focuses on Anthony , time of year 3 revolves around Colin , andseason 4 features Benedict ’s love life story .
yield onBridgertonseason 4 began in September 2024 , and while Netflix has n’t affirm a release day of the month , it in all probability wo n’t premier until 2026 at the early .

Bridgertonseason 3 skips over Benedict ’s book(as his is the third in Quinn ’s series ) and moves up Colin ’s ( fourth in the series ) . gratefully , time of year 4 will finally center around Benedict and his love story with Sophie Baek . I , along with many other fans , am looking forwards to watch Benedict and Sophie’sCinderella - esque love story unravel on the screen . However , I’m also flighty that one heartwrenching disaster from the books will also play out by the season ’s terminal .

Francesca grieves John for four years before she falls in love with someone else . She reunify with Michael ( who has been gender - switch in the Netflix show and is now Michaela ) , and the two embark on a Romance language . Francesca and Michael eventually wed , which is how Francesca ’s story ends . Bridgertonwill likely adapt Francesca ’s storey in time of year 6if the writer nonplus to the guild of the books from now on ( with Eloise ’s romance probably coming in season 5 ) . However , although the series still has two season to go until then , time of year 4 could ( unfortunately ) very easily terminate with John ’s death .
Why John Stirling May Die In Bridgerton Season 4
Bridgerton’s Timeline Would Line Up With John Dying By Season 4’s End
Even though Francesca and John are married for two years before he give way in the books , it would make horse sense if John ’s death chance atBridgertonseason 4 ’s remnant ( specially if it adapts the fourth dimension jump in Benedict ’s novel).As remark above , Francesca await four years before moving on from John . Yes , she and John just got married duringBridgertonseason 3 ’s ending , but time of year 4 could boast a time jump . Even if it does n’t , and although I ’m nowhere near ready for the tragedy , John exit during season 4 ’s close would set up the perfect timeline for Francesca ’s story .
Simone Ashley ’s Kate Sharma is nowhere to be found on Bridgerton season 4 ’s cast lean . It would be the big mistake if Kate does not return .
John kick the bucket at the remainder ofBridgertonseason 4gives Francesca one time of year to mourn her personnel casualty before she can search her Romance language with Michaela . That way , Francesca and Michaela getting together would n’t palpate rush . Of of course , this theory is all banking on Francesca being the focus ofBridgertonseason 6 , which is the most probable opening .
John Stirling’s Death Will Be One Of Bridgerton’s Biggest Tragedies
Bridgerton Hasn’t Featured Many Character Deaths
EveryBridgertonseason includingQueen Charlottehas its bonny share of heartbreak . However , John ’s inevitable expiry will undoubtedly be one of the Netflix TV show ’s large tragedies . King George ’s malady is in all likelihood the only affair that can contend with it , as viewers get to know him in the prequel series . Meanwhile , Edmund ’s death happen before the show ’s events , and he only appears in one flashback picture ( which is heartbreaking withal ) .
head intoBridgertonseason 4 , we should all prepare as much as we can for John ’s death , but nothing could ever really make me quick for the inescapable cataclysm .
AsBridgertoncontinues , it will be difficult for any event to compare to John ’s tragical death . gratefully , none of the otherBridgerton siblings ' spousesdie ( at least , in the books ) . So , head intoBridgertonseason 4 , we should all prepare as much as we can for John ’s death , but nothing could ever really make me quick for the inescapable tragedy .
