Season four ofBridgertonis for the Sapphics — or so we hope.
Season three finally saw some real queer representation with Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) exploring his bisexuality at last. Plus, it ended on a lesbian cliffhanger that left SapphicBridgerton fans' chests a' heaving.
You see, Francesca Bridgerton (Ruby Stokes) ended the third season married to the very nice, and very boring, John Stirling (Victor Alli). All season long Francesca fought to marry him despite their lack of a passionate connection, believing that was what she wanted.
Until, of course, his cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza) made her entrance and suddenly all of Francesca ’s mothers talks of fireworks and butterflies seemingly made a whole lot more sense.
NetflixThe question is, what does that mean for season four? While this season will be focused on Benedict's new romance with, sigh, a lady thankfully the storyline with Francesca and Michaela doesn't seem to be shuffling off the ‘Ton anytime soon.
Today Netflix dropped a teaser sneak peek video from the set of season four to celebrate Valentine’s Day and while our eagle eyes spotted not only Francesa looking flirty in a masquerade mask and what we hoped was Michaela rocking a unicorn mask — you know, the magical creature that every young lesbian was obsessed with as a kid — sadly Netflix confirmed the woman in the unicorn mask is was not her. So, we'll have to wait a little longer for that reveal, but still it's just so lesbian-coded, we're calling it subtext!
While fans will have to wait until September for the show to return, this little tease should help get them through.
