Season 4, Part 1 of Bridgerton is already here, and while fans wait for Part 2 later this month, there has been so much debate about the lead for Season 5.

If you don’t know, the Netflix period piece series chooses one of the Bridgerton siblings to focus on each season.

We’ve already gotten a hint that season five will be either Eloise or Francesca, but now we have even more information.

Showrunner Jess Brownell was asked directly if season five will be Eloise or Francesca’s season.

Jess responded, “I will say, the last three seasons have been focused on Bridgerton boys, so all I can say Seasons 5 and 6 are definitely about the middle Bridgerton girls. That’s as much as I can say.”

And then Variety asked if we will know by the “back half” of season four.

Jess then confirmed a detail: there will be clues that people can find.

“Similar to the end of Season 3, there are some clues for people to parse,” Jess said.

The major clue that Benedict would lead season four came at the end of season three, when the big masquerade ball was mentioned. In the book series, Benedict meets Sophie, his love interest, at a masquerade. It looks like we’ll get a similar clue for season 5 in season 4!
