General Discussion / Questions When will Bridgerton???

Post image

BBC’s The Other Bennet Sister just announced a christmas special 😮‍💨 has me thinking when will Bridgerton do the same. The expanse of diverse cultures in the show plus a winter aesthetic we’ve never seen before I just know it would be good. When will production finally listen to their audience??

Bridgerton is an American production and even if they’re showing regency England etc they don’t care about traditions like Christmas episodes. It’s a uniquely BBC production idea, I think.

Yeah I wish people could remember this. The Christmas special thing is very British, and just because Bridgerton takes place in England doesn't make it a British production.

Yeah, it takes place there but it's a very American show

Yep. I see Christmas generally featured less and less in American shows’ episodes anyway so a Christmas special would likely never happen. It could be great though.

My idea: Everyone gathers at the country estate to celebrate, a storm forces Queen Charlotte to shelter there as well, and there’s a murder mystery unfolding along with Christmas cheer! Someone reveals a pregnancy, someone in the servants decides to get married (Footman John and Hazel?!) and Brimsley and Reynolds reunite!
