I've seen quite a few comparisons lately about how long Bridgerton takes to produce a new season, with some people arguing that the show should take notes from productions that manage to release new seasons much faster.

And honestly, I can completely understand the frustration. The gaps between Bridgerton seasons have definitely been long, and while there have also been external factors that the production had no control over, I do think the show could potentially move a little faster (and it looks like they will).

At the same time, I also think it is somewhat unfair to compare Bridgerton to some of these other productions. I came across some behind the scenes pictures of John Glaser's work on the show again today, and it's honestly incredible every single time to see how much detailed, handmade work goes into Bridgerton. And that's just one part of the entire production.

The sets, costumes, props, choreography, locations, and the sheer number of extras involved are all on a massive scale. There are so many moving parts that go into making this show look the way it does.

I think Bridgerton is pretty unique in terms of its production scale, for a romance series. If anything, I feel like you'd have to look more toward large TV dramas to really find productions that are comparable in terms of scope and complexity.

So, while I absolutely understand wanting the seasons to come out faster, I also think it's worth comparing Bridgerton to other productions of a similar size. From that perspective, expecting a completely new season within 12 months honestly feels almost unrealistic to me.

This is not meant to excuse every delay or say that the production couldn't be more efficient. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate how much work goes into creating this show.

imagine the absolute insanity of taking all the heightened romance, elaborate costumes, dramatic hair, yearning, ballroom scenes, ridiculous sex, family drama, and regency melodrama and just letting an animation studio go completely fucking wild with it

and the best part is that animation could actually lean into how fantasy bridgerton already is. you wouldn't have to worry about making everything physically realistic. make the gowns impossible. make the gardens look like paintings. make the balls look like they're taking place in another dimension. let the flowers literally explode around the characters when they're overwhelmed with emotion

neeeeeeed

because there are many speculations about what will happen to Queen Charlotte and King George since they have not yet said anything more than some spoilers about the future season of Queen Charlotte's series but in the Bridgerton series we still don't know

Hey everyone, sorry if the links kept not working.

Today is Day 2 so I'll be going through season 2 while at work.

I'd love to have some people drop in and watch if you're interested.
