Jonathan Bailey isn’t relinquishing his viscount title anytime soon.
Indeed, as Netflix confirmed Bridgerton would be back for seasons five and six ahead of the fourth installment’s 2026 premiere, the actor behind fan-favorite Anthony Bridgerton shared that he plans to stay on the series as long as he’s needed.
“I’ve never been someone who’s like, ‘Thanks, bye,'” Jonathan explained to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published June 18. “It’s not in my nature.”
Luckily, with the eldest Bridgerton getting married to Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) in season two, the 37-year-old now plays a supporting character since the main plot centers on a different sibling’s love story each season.
“I know how much I love long-running series,” he noted. “I know how important familiarity of character and story and consistency is in these long-running series.”
With younger brothers Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) marrying Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) in season three, and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) searching for love in the upcoming installment, they’ve developed a deep bond through filming.
