As the hit Netflix series Bridgerton prepares for its fourth season, audiences are following the romantic journeys of the eight Bridgerton siblings. Each season focuses on a different family member finding love in Regency London’s high society, often referred to as the “ton.” While the show has covered three marriages so far, the original book series by Julia Quinn details a “happily ever after” for every sibling . This guide explains who each Bridgerton sibling marries, how their love stories unfold on screen and in the books, and what fans can expect next.
