Welcome back, gentle readers, to the beautiful and delightfully spicy world of Bridgerton. It has been almost two years since we were back in the Regency period of England, which has only fuelled our appetite for more of the Netflix hit.

We already know that Bridgerton Season 4 will focus on the long-awaited Benedict and Sophie storyline, which was set up at the end of Season 3, and will be released in two chapters in January and February respectively. In the below Bridgerton Seasons 1-3 recap, you can relive all the deliciously sorted details of the series so far with Popverse’s own Ashley Victoria Robinson, who brings you up to speed with what has been happening at the 'ton for the past three seasons.
