He ends up running into Sophie under different circumstances when she’s a servant at a new house and he doesn’t recognize her at all as the woman he loves, but does recognize that he would still like to have sex with this new, other woman. He searches for years and doesn’t want to marry anyone else lest she show up, but has no luck finding her. They dance and make out and in a little over an hour, Benedict is head over heels for her. As you might have guessed, Sophie ends up at the Bridgerton masquerade, in costume and mask, and Benedict mistakes her for a lady of the ton. Araminta hates Sophie from the start and when the Earl dies, she keeps Sophie around but as a servant. Things are fine until he gets remarried to a woman named Araminta and she and her two daughters, Rosamund and Posy, move in. (Okay, one of the stepsisters isn’t so bad.) Benedict’s love interest in the novel is Sophie Beckett, the bastard daughter of an Earl, who ends up taking her in when her mother, a maid, dies. An Offer From a Gentleman is pretty much a Regency era retelling of the classic fairy tale, right down to the evil stepmother and stepsisters. If season three does put Benedict in the hot seat, you should brush up on your Cinderella. Don’t let us down, Bridgerton, we all need this!!īenedict Bridgerton will get the fairy-tale treatment. And since a masquerade ball seems ripe for the Bridgerton world, what with its excess and hidden identities and unmasking, I can only assume they’ve held off on doing one thus far so that they can do right by Benedict’s big meeting with a mysterious woman. If that’s the book’s take, you know the show’s will only be bigger and better. In An Offer From a Gentleman’s masquerade we get Eloise as Joan of Arc (so on brand!), Penelope as a very sad leprechaun (unfortunately, also on brand), and the other Featheringtons as pieces of fruit (sure, why not!). The show is already a spectacle and now there’s going to be costumes? And not just any costumes, baby. The mere possibility of getting to see how the team behind Bridgerton would throw the Bridgerton Masquerade Ball that kicks off Benedict’s novel has me hyped. Masquerade! Paper faces on parade! Okay, that’s from Phantom of the Opera but I don’t care. Is it true? Could it be? Will we get to see how Bridgerton throws a masquerade ball? We are not worthy. Until then, let’s once again talk about a few possibilities of things that could grace our screens in next season based on what we know from the novels. Who knows? Only time and an official press release will tell. Perhaps the show will dive a bit deeper into Romancing Mister Bridgerton, the fourth novel, which tells the story of Colin falling for a certain gossip queen. Bridgerton Number Two does seem like a likely suspect for the hot seat after the events of this past season - and I’m not talking about him getting high out of his mind off of spiked tea, but I’m also not not talking about that - but they’ve been a bit coy and withholding about making it official (how very Regency era of them). They’ve yet to announce which Bridgerton will be headlining season three, but if they follow the novels, book three is An Offer From a Gentleman and it’s all about Benedict Bridgerton finding true love. The TV series is very much an adaptation of the novels and makes changes, or pulls from future novels, as needed, but the powers behind Bridgerton have made clear that they’d like a new sibling to take the lead each season. Season two then put the spotlight on eldest Bridgerton, Anthony, who is the main protagonist in the second of Quinn’s novels, The Viscount Who Loved Me, where he has a whole Pride and Prejudice–type deal with Kate, who has excellent taste in both pall mall mallets and corgis. Season one of the show was based on the first novel, The Duke and I, which told the story of Daphne Bridgerton’s successful foray into high society London’s marriage mart in which she gained a whole lot of life lessons - and an affinity for spoons - from the dashing Duke of Hastings. Okay Kate and Anthony, we love you, but it’s time to get the hell out of here! I mean, don’t go too far, but enough to make room for another couple and another Bridgerton to step into the spotlight for season three.Īs you must know by now, Netflix’s steamy Regency era romance series Bridgerton is based on a series of novels by Julia Quinn, and each of those books focuses on just one Bridgerton sibling and their great love story.
