Another Bridgerton romance! Following Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey<\/strong><\/a>) and Kate Sharma\u2019s (Simone Ashley<\/strong><\/a>) epic slow burn romance, fans have questioned if Benedict Bridgerton\u2019s (Luke Thompson<\/strong><\/a>) journey to find love would be put on hold.<\/p>\n The season 2 finale, which was released in March 2022, ended with Anthony and Kate finally accepting their strong feelings for one another. After the older Sharma sister accepted his proposal, the couple happily enjoyed the next chapter in their lives \u2014 which included another iconic game of Pall Mall.<\/p>\n According to the Julia Quinn<\/strong> books that inspired that hit Netflix series<\/a>, the second eldest Bridgerton brother would be up next. Ahead of the season 2 premiere, Thompson opened up about the pros that come with shifting the focus<\/a> every season.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the advantage of having a series where you switch the leads like that every season is brilliant because it gives it a whole new breath of fresh air. We\u2019ve got a whole new family in there. Even just the feel of the show \u2014 it goes somewhere different, which is so fun to share,\u201d he told The Wrap<\/em><\/a> in March 2022.<\/p>\n The U.K. native noted that he didn\u2019t ask too much about his character\u2019s story line before filming his scenes.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t have too much of an inkling and actually, in a strange kind of way, as an actor, you don\u2019t really want too much of an inkling because if you do, if you know exactly where you\u2019re going, you can end up doing an awful lot of signposting and explaining your journey through things rather than actually just living it,\u201d he explained at the time. \u201cI think actually, in a strange kind of way, as in life, we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen from one day to the next. It\u2019s sort of better to not know too much.\u201d<\/p>\n During season 2, viewers got to see Benedict helping out his older brother amid Anthony\u2019s struggles with his love life.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re siblings, I guess you\u2019re sort of made of the same stuff. You have huge similarities, which simultaneously makes you a really good person to confide in, but also sort of the worst person because you\u2019re too similar,\u201d The Club<\/em> alum added about the siblings. \u201cAnd so actually, I think what\u2019s lovely about their relationship is that in all of those scenes, you sort of feel like the needling and this sort of teasing is actually their sort of way of understanding each other and themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n Benedict, for his part, found himself confused when it came to his identity as an artist after being accepted into the Royal Academy. The second season ended with Benedict discovering that Anthony paid for him to join the school<\/a> \u2014 which called their future dynamic into question.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really fun to play because it\u2019s very complex,\u201d Thompson said about the ups and downs between the duo. \u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to get hold of and it is not a straightforward relationship. And that also makes it a lot of fun to watch, I think, because they don\u2019t let each other off the hook.\u201d<\/p>\n That same month, executive producer Shonda Rhimes<\/strong><\/a> hinted that there may be a story shakeup. \u201cThere\u2019s 8 Bridgerton siblings so there are eight books. We are definitely planning on following each one of their romantic stories,\u201d she shared during an interview with Entertainment Tonight<\/em>. \u201cWe are not necessarily going in order. But we are going to be seeing each of the siblings and their story.\u201d<\/p>\n
