Why ‘Bridgerton’ Fans Believe New Season 4 Photo Is a Clue Eloise’s Love Story Is Next
Philoise lovers, stand up! Netflix dropped new Bridgerton Season 4 photos on March 28, and one of them may be a hint that Eloise and Phillip’s romance will be the focus of Season 5.
One of the photos released featured Eloise (Claudia Jessie) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) walking through town together. Eloise is dressed in a long coat with a design similar to that of wood grain, while Penelope is wearing a pale pink floral coat. The wood grain detailing on Eloise’s coat has some Bridgerton fans convinced Eloise’s season may follow Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie’s (Yerin Ha) Season 4 love story.
somebody pointed out that eloise wearing more wooden patrons means that she was more in contact with nature in scotland, which means we are getting closer and closer to meet sir phillip again, which means that maybe they had correspondence already… and I’m just going crazy pic.twitter.com/hLuH2zmvzW

Imo both dresses are doing some storytelling like Eloise’s tree print dress got me thinking Phillip is coming soon, hence the nature styled dress. And Pen’s is like a really light pink, which we know she likes, mixed with blue & yellow, so it shows how she’s come into her own

I clocked it in the bts tik tok, Eloise’s dress is giving the pattern you would see on a wood plank, so very plant-like vibes, mayhaps to link her to a certain plant-loving someone by the name of Sir Phillip Crane 😏 i love this dress 🥰🌻💚 pic.twitter.com/KESpzpDodc

Those who’ve read To Sir Phillip, With Love know that Phillip is a botanist who studied at Cambridge. He has a greenhouse at his Romney Hall estate, where Eloise goes to live after she and Phillip exchange letters.
Netflix has not confirmed who will lead Season 5, and the show hasn’t even been officially renewed yet. However, showrunner Jess Brownell has a game plan for the future. “Shonda and I have talked about who Season 5 is and who Season 6 is,” she told Variety. “We haven’t talked beyond that. If we are lucky enough to have a Season 6, we want to just have that plan, so we know where we’re headed.”
If the series followed the order of Julia Quinn’s novels moving forward, then Eloise’s love story would be next. However, many think Francesca (Hannah Dodd) could be the focus of Season 5, given that she married John Stirling (Victor Alli) in Season 3.
