Spoiler alert: Spoilers for Bridgerton Season 4 follow. Once part one of Bridgerton Season 4 concluded, two questions remained at the forefront of my brain: How could Benedict fumble Sophie so drastically after such a beautiful, yearning-filled slow burn (asking her to “be my mistress,” seriously?) and secondly, where on earth is Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey)? And in an exclusive interview with Teen Vogue, showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed that Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey would be reprising their roles and thus, gracing our screens with more delightful banter and one-liners that will have fans swooning for years to come. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jonathan Bailey acknowledged that his busy schedule might prevent him from being more than just a background character, but he does want to stick around for as long as he can.
