Fans of Bridgerton are buzzing with excitement as the upcoming season promises to deliver even more drama and unexpected twists. The latest news has made it even harder to contain the anticipation: Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey’s characters, Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton, are set to return in Season 4, and they’ll be bringing their baby along for the ride—an announcement that has fans eagerly awaiting the new episodes.
The cast confirmed this exciting development during the Season of Love fan celebration event held on February 14, 2025, in London, according to People magazine. Ashley and Bailey, who have become fan favorites for their portrayal of Kate and Anthony, will once again share the screen, this time as parents, adding another layer to their already beloved relationship.
Back in June, during a press event at the Monte Carlo Television Festival, Ashley shared her hopes for returning with Bailey in the new season. She said, “I really hope so,” expressing her deep love for the characters and their storyline. “Both Johnny and I adore our characters, Kate and Anthony, so much—their relationship and what they mean for the show,” she added, hinting that both actors were determined to make it work despite their busy schedules.
But the surprises don’t stop there. It seems that Kate and Anthony’s return with their child isn’t the only exciting development in Season 4. Netflix recently released a series of photos teasing what’s to come, including a shot of Penelope Featherington (played by Nicola Coughlan) and Benedict Bridgerton (played by Luke Newton) with their own baby. Fans are already speculating about the significance of this new addition to the family dynamic.
In addition to these heartwarming moments, Netflix also teased some glamorous scenes from a masquerade ball, giving fans a taste of the opulence and intrigue that the new season will bring. With all these exciting twists on the horizon, it’s clear that Bridgerton Season 4 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated seasons yet.
