The Relentless Cycle of 'Bridgerton' The news that Netflix's "Bridgerton" will break its two year release cycle with Season 5 has sparked a mix of excitement and frustration among fans.
For those who have followed the show since its debut in 2020, the announcement is less about the new season itself than about the perpetuation of a trend that has become synonymous with modern television: the never ending cycle of sequels and spin offs.
"Bridgerton" appears to be an anomaly among streaming services due to its unique blend of period drama and romance.
