Netflix announced in March 2025 that Bridgerton will return for a fifth and sixth season. Fans are speculating who the spotlight will land on next. Each of the former four seasons highlighted a different Bridgerton sibling.
Season 1 followed Daphne, Season 2 concentrated on Anthony, Season 3 told Colin's story, and Season 4 moved to Benedict. Based on the sequence of the books, Eloise Bridgerton seems like the next probable main character in Season 5. The plot suggests that she will take the lead.
The book series arranges Eloise’s story as the fifth installment
Julia Quinn’s novel To Sir Phillip, With Love is the fifth book in the series and focuses on Eloise’s journey. Each sibling gets one book dedicated to their romance, and Eloise is the fifth Bridgerton child with her own story to tell.
If Netflix follows the novels closely again, Season 5 will adapt this installment. That book-based approach helped shape Season 3 when Colin’s tale was brought to the screen.
Eloise’s arc challenges society’s expectations of marriage
Across the first four seasons, Eloise stands out by questioning the rules of high society. Her siblings spend their time seeking partners during the social season, but she values learning and being independent more.
Viewers see her push back against rigid traditions and express frustration with the limited options women like her face. These instances bring layers to her personality, making her one of the most interesting characters in the Bridgerton universe. It suggests a future season might explore her personal growth.
Her correspondence with Sir Phillip Crane drives her growth
In the novel, Eloise and Sir Phillip Crane, a widower raising his children alone, exchange letters in secret. Their correspondence starts after his wife, Marina—who lived at the Featherington household in a previous season, and was in love with Philip's brother, George, but after his death marries Philip Crane—passes away.
As their bond grows, Eloise discovers new lessons about love, grief, and finding balance. Bringing Sir Phillip into Season 5 could deepen Eloise’s story by exploring how her strong-willed nature interacts with a partner who has his own struggles.
Recent renewals signal development but leave room for change
Netflix has announced Season 5, but the showrunners have made changes in the past, like switching up Colin and Benedict’s stories. This means Eloise’s season might stick to the book's order or could be tweaked to suit the show’s overall storyline.
Even so, with the renewal and the book sequence in mind, many believe Eloise Bridgerton might be next. Fans are hoping the writers manage to stay true to the books while also bringing in new ideas.
Trending
If Season 5 focuses on Eloise, the show will dive into the struggle between independence and relationships. Her journey could bring clever dialogue, emotional letters, and moments of self-growth.
This change might give the series fresh emotional depth after spotlighting her older siblings. Whether Netflix follows Julia Quinn’s books or takes a different path, putting Eloise in the spotlight seems like a fitting direction for the story.
