The fourth season of Bridgerton will include many fan-favorites — but not everyone is returning for more episodes of the show.

Bridgerton, which is based on the book series written by Julia Quinn, centers around members of the wealthy Bridgerton family as they search for love in 19th century London. Season 1 followed Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset’s (Regé-Jean Page) romance, who were the central couple in the first book, The Duke and I.

Season 2, meanwhile, took inspiration from The Viscount Who Loved Me, which followed Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) finding love with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). Despite Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) being the subject of the third novel — An Offer From a Gentleman — his love story with newcomer Sophie (Yerin Ha) was pushed to season 4.

Instead, the third season focused on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) as seen in Quinn’s book Romancing Mister Bridgerton. The shakeup has kept readers on their toes — as has former cast members stepping away from the show.

Page became the most memorable exit when he chose to wrap up one season in.

“They’re free to do as they like,” Page told Variety in July 2022 after being asked about a recasting for Simon. “Shonda and I had a wonderful conversation at the end of season 1. We were quite happy with how we stuck the landing on that one. We did so well on that redemptive arc that people forget that Simon was kind of horrific. He was the best example of a Regency f—kboy that any of us had come across.”

Page continued: “And so, because we came around full circle so well, because we stuck that landing, you’re left with this great feeling. You really do have to be brave about ending stories like that.”

While Bridgerton didn’t recast Simon, Page has stood by his decision not to return. Dynevor later confirmed her own exit from the series, which didn’t appear to be her choice.

Keep scrolling to see which Bridgerton characters are returning — and which aren’t — in season 4:

Benedict Bridgerton

Thompson and Ha will be front and center during season 4. “It’s a fairy tale love story but it’s also got the Bridgerton element of trying to sort of tether it to some sort of reality as well and see how that pans out,” Thompson told Tudum in September 2024 before Ha added, “[Fans will see] this kind of emotional tug-of-war, or like this kind of push and pull between I guess what their heart desires, and I guess what society kind of desires for them.”

'Bridgerton' Burning Questions Answered After Surprising Story Line Changes

Anthony Bridgerton

Bailey confirmed he will return as Anthony in season 4, sharing during a November 2024 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, “Gonna reunite with the family next week. I’ll always pop back and say hello.”

Kate Bridgerton

“I know that I am returning, but that’s all I can say,” Ashley said in an interview with Glamour U.K. in October 2024. “I absolutely adore the show, and the more I can be a part of it, the better,” she added. “They’ve been really kind to work around my schedule.”

Eloise Bridgerton

When season 3 came to an end, Eloise (Claudia Jessie) joined Francesca (Hannah Dodd) on her trip. Eloise is a frontrunner to be the next lead with To Sir Phillip, With Love, which is the fifth book in the franchise, reintroducing Phillip (Chris Fulton) as he built a connection with Eloise.

Colin Bridgerton

In April 2024, Newton said he planned to remain on the show. “It’s changed my life so I know that I’ll be sticking around,” he told High Life Magazine at the time.

Penelope Bridgerton

Coughlan received an invitation to return, telling The Wrap in May 2024, “They’ve told us we’re back for Season 4, which is super lovely … It’ll be exciting. [We’ll] pop back and have some fun for sure.”

Francesca Stirling

“I can’t say if it’s in season 4 or not, but yes, there will be a time jump. I mean, we also really want to honor John and Francesca’s relationship, which although we are telling a queer story with Francesca, I don’t think that that negates her genuine connection with John. I know a lot of people have really fallen for that relationship, and we in the room really cared deeply about that relationship and about their connection,” showrunner Jess Brownell told The Hollywood Reporter in June 2024. “I think hopefully, it’s a lovely statement on the fact that relationships based in companionship, respect, friendship, trust and shared interests are just as valid as relationships that are super passionate. Both have value, and neither negates the other.”

She concluded: “So we’re absolutely not denying the connection that Fran and John have, and when we tell the Francesca and Michaela story, we would definitely want there to be a time jump to give Francesca some time to earnestly mourn what she had with John.”

'Bridgerton' Cast and Crew Discuss Gender-Swapping Francesca's Love Interest

John Stirling

Victor Alli was introduced as Francesca’s love interest — and future husband — in season 3. While the fictional couple ended up together, book fans know that John ultimately dies and Francesca finds love with his cousin Michael, who has been gender-swapped on the show. Alli and Masali Baduza, who plays Michaela, are both set to reprise their roles in season 4.

“I’m confident now that when Francesca has her Bridgerton season, it will be the most emotional and heart-wrenching story of the show, just like When He Was Wicked has always been the true tear-jerker of the Bridgerton book series,” Quinn wrote in a June 2024 statement. “Honestly, it may pack even more of a punch, since John is getting a lot more time on the screen than he ever did on the page, and I think it’s fair to say we’ve all fallen a little bit in love with him.”

Hyacinth Bridgerton

The seventh book in the Bridgerton series follows Hyacinth’s love story. Florence Hunt, who has played the character since season 1, has been announced as a cast member for future installments.

Gregory Bridgerton

With Gregory being the last Bridgerton lead, Will Tilston will continue to make guest appearances until season 8.

“One of the things that was very exciting when they actually first bought the series was that it was really clear to me that they put a lot of thought into it already,” Quinn told People in July 2024. “We had to go through everything and very specifically say, ‘These characters are included, these characters are not.’ In that process, it was really clear to me that they had a long plan and were really thinking about all the books.”

Daphne Basset

During an interview with The Direct in January 2025, Dyenvor said she’s “still waiting on that call” to return to the show, adding, “They’ve not called me yet and I think they’re shooting season 4 right now.”

Simon Basset

Netflix announced in April 2021 that Page would not be reprising his role as the Duke of Hastings despite plans for Daphne to appear in future seasons.

“It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end — give us a year,” he told Variety at the time. “[I thought] ‘That’s interesting,’ because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit, and then the Bridgerton family rolls on.”

Page has stood by his decision even though fans have publicly voiced their disappointment about not getting to see where Simon’s story goes from here.

Queen Charlotte

Despite the real Queen Charlotte’s death in 1818, showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed the show would get creative to keep Golda Rosheuvel on the show.

“I worship Golda Rosheuvel and I think she’s so fantastic in her role. Shonda [Rhimes] and I, internally, have just decided that we’re in an alternate dimension,” Brownell told TVLine in June 2024 about why viewers don’t have to worry about Charlotte being killed off. “There’s potential that in this timeline, Queen Charlotte could live forever.”

Bridgerton's Biggest Scandals: Controversial Sex Scene, Character Departures

Voice of Lady Whistledown

When Penelope’s identity as Whistledown was a secret, iconic film actress Julie Andrews did the voiceover for the character. Season 3 shook things up by having Penelope take that over after revealing she was behind the Whistledown columns.

“Thematically and creatively, that would be the right thing to do. Penelope is owning her voice, so it really should be Nicola’s voice. But it’s Julie Andrews and I don’t know how you say no thank you anymore to Julie Andrews,” Brownell shared with EW in June 2024. “I couldn’t possibly, so to me that’s just the voice that Penelope uses in her head when she writes the thing. But it doesn’t take away from the fact that she’s owning her true self now.”

Brownell used the opportunity to hint at whether Whistledown will continue to play a role, adding, “It means that she’s now a public scandal writer, which is going to be a tricky balance. … She has everyone knowing who she is. After her arc this season, she’s going to be wrestling with accountability and with righteousness and trying to figure out what the right path is to use her pen responsibly.”

Albion Finch

Lorn Macdonald, who has played Finch since season 2, took to Instagram in June 2024 to celebrate his time on the hit Netflix series. Fans, however, quickly questioned if the message doubled as a goodbye to the series.

“Albion Finch. What started off with cheese and a sneeze became a character I deeply care about. Huge thanks to everyone who made this a job I’ll never forget and to all the fans showing your love for this weird little dude,” Macdonald wrote at the time. “It means a lot. And to my Philippa. @harriet.cains . My partner in crime. It’s been real.”

Will Mondrich

Photos from a season 4 table read released via Instagram in December 2024 confirmed the return of characters including Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell), Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh), Portia Featherington (Polly Walker), Will Mondrich (Martins Imhangbe) and more.

One of my favorite wardrobe secrets is my butt-lifting leggings. They sound absolutely ridiculous . . . until you try them for yourself.

Unlike regular leggings that tend to fall down even after even the slightest movement, butt-lifting leggings feature smart details like a v-shaped waist band or butt-scrunch technology (yes, it’s a thing). These thoughtful features achieve the same results as doing hundreds of squats, except the only thing you have to do is slip them on.

To help your wardrobe essentials work smarter not harder, I rounded up 10 butt-lifting legging options perfect for any activity. From lifting weights to practicing yoga or lounging around the house, here are my favorite picks — all under $40 at Amazon!

Rap star DJ Unk has died. He was 43.

“It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we announce the passing of a true ATL legend, Anthony Platt better known as DJ Unk,” his former record label wrote in a Friday, January 24, Instagram statement. “On behalf of Big Oomp Records and the BOR Family, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and the countless fans who were touched by his artistry and spirit.”

The statement continued, “DJ Unk was not just a legendary DJ, rapper and producer, but a true cornerstone of our label and the imprint that he left globally will be cherished forever. Hit songs such as ‘Walk It Out’ and ‘2 Step’ have left an indelible mark on the industry, and his legacy will continue to inspire artists, DJs, and fans alike for years to come. His energy, creativity, and commitment to the craft will never be forgotten.”

Big Oomp Records further asked followers to “keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”

“We also want to thank everyone who has supported DJ Unk and the Oomp Camp over the years,” the social media note concluded. “Rest in peace, Unk. You will forever be missed. .”

A cause of death has not been publicly revealed. DJ Ink is survived by his wife, Sherkita Long-Platt, and their children.

“Please respect me and my family,” Long-Platt wrote via Facebook on Friday. “I just lost my husband and my kids just lost their father. Our life will never be the same. I LOVE YOU ANTHONY FOREVER.”

DJ Unk rose to fame in 2000 when he signed with Big Oomp Records, later releasing his debut album Beat’n Down Yo Block! six years later. “Walk It Out” soon became a runaway hit, prompting a remix with André 3000 and Jim Jones.

Most Shocking Celebrity Deaths of All Time

One year after releasing his sophomore album, DJ Unk suffered a heart attack in 2009. He blamed the health scare on frequent touring, poor eating habits and drinking alcohol.

“It comes from not exercising, from not eating right. Basically man, I work hard every day,” he told XXL Magazine in 2010. Everything I do every day I try to make something happen in my household. I constantly be on the go, I constantly be on airplanes, in different weather and you know it just took a toll on me. It was stress.”

DJ Unk further told the outlet that he “calmed down” on both drinking and smoking after the cardiac incident.

“I just don’t go ham like I did before; everything was so fast,” he added at the time. “Instead of praying once like before, I go twice a day.”

"It seems that in a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act," Freedman said in defense of his actions.

When it comes to their love life, Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy are candid— and not afraid to put their PDA on display, no matter the onlooker.

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Wahlberg, 55, and McCarthy, 52, who met in 2012 and married in 2014, recalled attending the Emmys shortly after their wedding, where they decided to sneak away for a few minutes. As they were making out in the hallway, Wahlberg could hear one of the most distinctive voices in Hollywood.

“We hear this voice say, ‘Get a room,’” Wahlberg told Us. “I was like, ‘That sounded like the voice of God.’ It was Morgan Freeman. He walked by and winked at us and we were like, ‘Is there a bathroom around?’”

Since saying “I do”, peeling off by themselves during public events is a common occurrence. McCarthy added that the duo still “like to sneak off at parties.”

“If someone has a Christmas party, we’re going to find the basement bathroom, take advantage of the moment,” she teased.

When there’s not a spare room available, the lovebirds like to think out of the box, and sometimes their spontaneity takes them on a quick drive, out of public view.

“And I think there was that one time where I was like, ‘We never did it in a car,’” she added. “And they were like, ‘Well, let’s do it.’ So we drove down the street just to do it.”

Whether it’s in front of the “voice of God” or in the privacy of their own car, Wahlberg says they try to “keep it spicy” a decade into their marriage.

“It’s like, treat yourselves in the good ways you did when you first started to fall for each other,” he explained. “That’s really it. That’s how you keep it alive, don’t take it for granted that it’s been 10 years now. We don’t have to do that stuff anymore. No, do it. Do all the things that showed how much you cared in the beginning. Keep doing it as best you can.”

That doesn’t mean, however, that Wahlberg and McCarthy seek out public places — or that they intended for Freeman to catch them kissing.

“We don’t want people to watch us,” McCarthy said. “We try to make sure it’s private, but it makes it more fun than the typical, your bedroom.”

For those interested in watching Wahlberg and McCarthy do something aside from packing on the PDA, the pair will cohost ID true-crime special Very Scary Lovers on February 2 at 10 p.m. ET, right after the finale of Wahlberg’s Very Scary People.

Christina Haack has legally changed her last name back to her roots amid her ongoing divorce from Joshua Hall.

“Officially a Haack ,” the Flip Off star, 41, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, January 24, sharing the official name-change paperwork from the Social Security Administration.

She added, “Identifying as only married twice. Time to update the Wikipedia.”

Haack is currently navigating a divorce from third husband Hall, 44. After they got married in April 2022, she changed her surname to his moniker.

Christina Haack Reveals Her Kids 'Asked' Her to ‘Leave' Josh: ‘He’s Not Nice’

Haack was previously married to Flip or Flop costar Tarek El Moussa from 2006 to 2016 and British TV presenter Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2020. (Haack and El Moussa, 43, share children Taylor and Brayden, while she coparents son Hudson with Anstead, 45.)

After two years of marriage to Hall, Haack filed for divorce in July 2024. The proceedings are still ongoing.

“[We’re] not even close,” Haack said on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live earlier this month. “We’re going to be going to trial, I hear. It’s going to be fun. Can’t wait.”

According to the HGTV star, Hall allegedly “doesn’t want to do mediation” to settle the proceedings.

“[The court hasn’t] ordered me yet but he’s been asking me [for money],” Haack claimed to radio host Jeff Lewis. “I’ve already had to give a little something, but then he bought a Bentley. I gave him money to live and he bought a Bentley, but he also doesn’t have a job.”

Christina Haack 'Did Not Enjoy' Filming With 'Insecure' Ex Josh Pre-Divorce

Hall has not publicly responded to Haack’s accusations.

“Hall is not available for comment, as he’s continuing to live his life in the present and celebrating his beautiful new girlfriend’s birthday,” his spokesperson told Us, referring to Nashville-based model Stephanie Gabrys. “With that said, it’s sad Christina must resort to low blows about her ex Josh to promote her new show. She should focus on her new boyfriend and stop talking about Josh. As the great Mariah Carey once sang, ‘Why you so obsessed with me?’ We wish Christina the best.”

Haack recently started seeing businessman Christopher LaRocca. She also remains open to the possibility of finding The One.

“I’ll always love love,” Haack told Us in her cover story earlier this month. “I probably will [get married again] eventually. But, not anytime soon.”

Haack further told Us that she would need to “be engaged for a minimum of, like, five years” before walking down the aisle for a fourth time.

As Super Bowl LIX approaches, Guy Fieri, J.J. Watt and Carla Hall are sharing their advice on how to throw the most epic get-together for the Big Game.

“People like the fall, holidays and summer,” Fieri, 57, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “[But] football season is my favorite season of the year.”

While Fieri sees Super Bowl Sunday as a sports enthusiast’s biggest holiday, Hall, 60, believes that the game is a pop culture moment for all to enjoy.

“It’s not just about the [football],” the Top Chef alum tells Us. “We wanna see the commercials. It’s what food are you gonna be eating? It’s coming together with your friends.”

So what does it take to host the ultimate Super Bowl party? Keep scrolling to see Fieri, Watt and Hall’s expert tips:

Turn Your Party Into an Event

To accommodate a large gathering, Fieri recommends having a couple of TVs playing the game so your guests can feel comfortable.

“We have one outside, one here in the kitchen, one in the living room,” the restaurateur, who recently launched Flavortown Cookware, tells Us.

To make the party more exciting and lively, Hall suggests making things interesting by incorporating some games into the viewing experience.

“Have a football pool, but it would also be fun to do a bingo game where you ask questions about the teams that keep people engaged in the game,” she says. “Like, which quarterback is gonna make the first touchdown? It keeps people chatting and there’s no lull.”

Prepare Snacks in Advance

“Don’t carry the whole burden yourself,” Fieri advises. “People want to put on this big spread, and they spend all their time in the kitchen yelling, ‘What just happened?’ Do foods that you can set up and get ’em done. Chicken wings — hot chicken wings, not so hot, they’re fine. Let people put the sauces on ’em. People want to warm them up, throw them in an air fryer.”

Give Them Options

When it’s up to the Mayor of Flavortown, he prefers for his guests to have plenty of choices for what to put on their game day plate.

“Not everybody likes the same thing,” Fieri says. “Roast a piece of prime rib or top round and slice it thin. You could go French dips, you could go hot Italian beef, you could go barbecue sandwiches, you could go an Asian banh mi.”

Three Zone Strategy

While not everyone will be as tapped into the games as others, Watt has a foolproof method to ensure everyone has a blast during the gathering.

“You have to have a three zone strategy,” the former defensive end tells Us. “You have the kitchen where the food and conversation happen. You have a socializing TV room where the game is on, but people are in and out. And you have a football-dedicated zone: this is where the guys — or gals! — that really want to lock in on the game go. Don’t mess with them!”
