Fans of Bridgerton can’t wait for news about Season 5. Even though Netflix has officially renewed the hit period drama, there is still no date set for when it will be available. Fans can get a good idea of when the new season will come out, though, from production plans and past premiere dates.
Timeline for production: filming will start in the spring of 2026
Season 5 will start shooting in the UK in the spring of 2026, most likely in March. It is said that the writing for the next season was finished in early 2026, which means that filming can begin right away.
In past seasons, the time between the shooting ending and the show’s release has been different. Some seasons didn’t come out until four months after shooting was over, while others took over a year. Based on this trend, Season 5 might not come out until at least the middle of 2027.
The production will come after Season 4, and it will keep telling the big Regency-era stories that made the show famous around the world.
Most likely, it will come out in 2027
According to people in the business, Season 5 of Bridgerton could come out in the spring or summer of 2027, with July being a very likely date. However, some news sources say the release date might be pushed back to late 2027 or even early 2028.
To give you some background, Season 3 started in May 2024, and Season 4 will start in January 2026. The time between seasons has been getting longer, which could change when Season 5 starts.
Renewal of Netflix and Official Confirmation
In May 2025, Netflix confirmed that Bridgerton would be back for Seasons 5 and 6. Producer and showrunner Jess Brownell said that filming would start “very soon” after Season 4 comes out.
The show, which was made by Shondaland and led by Shonda Rhimes, is still one of Netflix’s most-watched shows.
Fans can look forward to Bridgerton Season 5 coming out sometime in 2027, until Netflix gives an official date. It will continue the romance, drama, and high-society mystery.
Summary
Bridgerton Season 5 is officially renewed by Netflix, but the release date remains unconfirmed. Filming is expected to start in spring 2026 in the United Kingdom, with a likely premiere window in 2027.
