A Disappointing Update On The ‘Bridgerton' Season 4 Release Date
Bridgerton season 4 We know that Bridgerton season 4 will release in 2026, allegedly. But we now have an update that reinforces just how long the wait has been and will continue to be. The good news is that Netflix has just shared that season 4 of Bridgerton has wrapped filming as of today. The bad news is how long of a wait there is still to come and how long the gaps between these seasons still are. So, if filming has wrapped now, which we can round up to the beginning of July, we can use past data to figure out when Bridgerton season 4 is actually going to be released. And it's a while yet. Bridgerton season 3 wrapped filming in March 2023 and stayed in post-production until May 24, 14 months later. So, if season 4 wrapped now, 14 months from the beginning of July would be the beginning of September 2026. Given that season 3 of Bridgerton season 3 aired in May 2024, that makes this a gap of two years and five months between seasons. We could scale down a few months maybe if we assume season 3 was interrupted by strikes to some degree, but it's still over two years. Previously, showrunner Jess Brownell has said outright that there is just no way around this: She may have said they're trying to speed things up, but given the data we've seen here, that does not appear to be happening unless they can dramatically increase their production schedule. And the idea that shows have to be filmed and edited and dubbed and written (with source material to reference) is not exactly something that other shows don't also have to deal with. But I suppose that's why 1.5-3 years is the new norm. Bridgerton season 4 There are eight books in the Bridgerton series, and if this large gap remains, it will be the mid-to-late 2030s before the show finishes the source material in full. But given how well it performs, it stands to reason that Netflix has every reason to see it through to the end. Here's the synopsis for season 4 via Netflix: It remains to be seen whether Bridgerton season 4 will be broken up into two parts like season 3. Fans are sick of that, but it's a coinflip whether or not Netflix keeps doing it with its big shows currently. My guess would be yes. See you this fall. Sorry, next fall.

Taylor Swift's Photo Removal Not Ordered By Olivia Rodrigo's Team, Cafe Clarifies
Bluebird Cafe recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to clear the air about a potential feud between and Olivia Rodrigo. On Wednesday, the establishment's manager addressed some unfounded reports speculating that the latter's team had asked the restaurant to remove the former's photo. She clarified that the staff removed the image of their own volition. It was because the photo was in an unfavorable position as Rodrigo filmed something in their cafe. Bluebird Cafe's manager, Erika Wollam Nichols, recently clarified whether Olivia Rodrigo's team had asked the staff to remove Taylor Swift's photo from their establishment. She took to X (formerly Twitter) on June 18 to 'bring some truth to some questions in discussion that have been put out on the internet.' In the video, she denied fans' claims that Rodrigo's team asked them to remove Swift's photo while they were filming. Nichols noted that the cafe's staff put it away as it was in a spot that was in the frame while the 22-year-old was filming. She admitted that the Nashville eatery did indeed have Rodrigo visiting them for filming purposes. However, she and her team did not ask the establishment to remove the photo. The staff decided to put away the image as it was in the way of the former Disney star's filming. The general manager further explained how they are legally bound to remove any and every photo that is under copyright. Since the Nashville cafe doesn't 'own those images,' the establishment doesn't have the right to 'give permission for those images to be used in any kind of broadcast.' She further emphasized, 'That's the sole reason that the photograph was removed from the place it stood.' Nichols highlighted that the 'employee who spoke out of turn about this did not understand why that image was removed.' She admitted that the staff member 'spoke carelessly and haphazardly.' The COO reiterated, 'But irregardless, that image was removed for legal reasons.' She also assured fans that the other photos of Swift remained untouched during the time of filming. Nichols noted, 'Her headshot is there. Her chair still stands strong.' Moreover, she clarified that the pop sensation's photo wasn't the only one that had to be removed. There were other images that had to be put away as well. She asked for the internet's understanding, clarifying that there was no bad blood between the two singers.

Popular film franchise spin-off descends into chaos as stars and crew are wiped out with food poisoning
Something's afoot on the set of Millie Bobby Brown's latest Sherlock Holmes spin–off Enola Holmes — and it's not been pretty. I'm told that after the cast and crew headed to Malta for filming, the set descended into chaos after a bit of dodgy catering wiped some of them out with food poisoning. 12 My mole said: ' Millie and her co-stars were in the middle of filming when people started to get sick. 'It's a nightmare because these productions run to such tight schedules and filming had to be stopped. 'There were a fair few affected and it meant everything had to grind to a halt until they got better. 'It ended up being a bout of food poisoning which is just really unfortunate. Luckily it wasn't anything too serious and everyone recovered but it put pressure on them in terms of hitting deadlines.' Millie confirmed she was returning as Enola, the younger sister of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous fictional character Sherlock, earlier this year. Henry Cavill is back in place as the consulting detective, while Himesh Patel is in as his sidekick Dr Watson and Louis Partridge resumes his role as Enola's love interest Viscount Tewkesbury. Helena Bonham Carter is reprising her role as Eudoria Holmes and Sharon Duncan-Brewster is continuing as the evil Moriarty. Millie's first two films as Enola for Netflix proved to be massive hits, with the first in 2020 being watched in 76 million households in the first four weeks alone. She confirmed they would be starting the film this spring, with the production taking place in London and Malta, where the third instalment is set. According to the latest blurb put out by Netflix to hype up the movie, Millie's Enola will be seen tackling another mystery, in Malta, where she is 'flung into a nest of vipers'. I doubt the plot twist of them coming down with the tom t*ts will make the final cut. Thigh oh my, Ciara Ciara needs to get on to the fashion police because it looks like someone's been at her jeans with a pair of scissors. The Goodies singer was seen in New York in the out-there outfit with friends. 12 Ciara is no stranger to pushing the boundaries with her clobber and previously said: 'Fashion's important for me as an artist – it gives me so much opportunity and range to express myself, and I do feel my most confident self when I'm wearing pieces that I love. 'As you put on a look that you love, it does something to you.' Answers on a postcard for this one, please. Janet's bit Of Rauw right Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro got the seal of approval from Janet Jackson when he headlined London's O2 Arena on Tuesday. She shared a string of Instagram stories and called him 'sexy', before heading backstage to meet and be pictured with him. He has worked with everyone from Selena Gomez and Pharrell Williams to Shakira, but I bet he was still starstruck. Benson Boone has revealed that Katy Perry told him quitting American Idol as a contestant was a great move. The Beautiful Things singer, who left in 2022 before the live rounds started, revealed to Radio 2's Scott Mills that judge Katy was super-proud of his decision, adding: 'She said leaving that show was the best thing you ever did.' Praise indeed. Will's not In tune to Madge Madonna collaborator William Orbit has slammed her upcoming remix album, Veronica Electronica. The record, out next month, features rare and unreleased remixes from her hit Ray Of Light album, which he produced. The record, released in 1998, was seen as a pivotal moment for them both – but he's not happy about the reworking. He said: 'The whole thing felt like a knock-off. It's not, that's just my personal impression. But given how much the Ray of Light album has meant to so many of us, there could be something really wonderful. 'It would be great if the person at the label who selected these tracks stood up. With a rebuttal for some rigorous debate.' Ouch. Over to you, Madge. Skye's no limit for Ekin-Su Ekin-Su Culculoglu swapped her heels for a pair of walking boots to complete a fundraising trek across the Isle of Skye in Scotland for charity CoppaFeel. She finished the 100km trek today after five days of walking, which included tackling peaks of more than 3,000ft. It was for a good cause, as CoppaFeel is a youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity that encourages us all to check our boobs. The former Love Islander, left, told me she was looking forward to 'experiencing something unforgettable' and I can imagine she didn't mean the aches and pains she and her fellow trekkers Candice Brown and Giovanna Fletcher are no doubt feeling right now. They're not far off their £450,000 target, too, so if you want to support them and donate, visit Denise lives her dream Denise Van Outen has landed her biggest DJ set to date after bagging herself a slot at Glastonbury festival. Insiders have told us that the telly presenter will be spinning the decks for fans at a secret location on Worthy Farm next week. 12 A source said: 'Denise has made a real name for herself as a DJ and she's been booked for gigs all over the world but to play Glastonbury is a dream come true. 'She is planning a really nostalgic set with loads of Nineties hits that will get everyone dancing.' Back in 2023, Denise began hosting what she described as an 'inclusive party' called Discoliscious with her best pal Jemma Bolt, which they have held up and down the UK. The ex-Big Breakfast host said: 'I think a lot of music from then has really stood the test of time, and I guess a lot of people that were out partying in the Nineties, we are at an age now where perhaps we've had kids and started families – and you reminisce about the time when you were young, free and single and just having a really good time.' She added: 'When I DJ, I don't party. I'm watching everybody else partying. I get a buzz from playing the music, but I'm not out having a wild time like maybe I did when I was younger.' Trust me, Denise, once you get a whiff of the toilets you'll be necking a medicinal gin and tonic faster than you can say, 'That stinks'. McFlying In on their motorbikes Obviously there's no better week to get back into the studio than when the weather is scorching hot. And while most of us are sunning ourselves outside, the McFly boys have started work on new music ahead of their upcoming tour. 12 12 12 My exclusive snaps show Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones arriving at a recording studio in London on their motorbikes before getting to work. The lads are fitting in the sessions around their live dates, with concerts in Gloucestershire and Southampton this weekend before they kick off their Busted Versus McFly tour in Birmingham on September 16. Their seventh studio, Power To Play, went to No2 when they released it two years ago – and I've no doubt McFly are cooking up some more magic right now. Didn't bring Hus down 'Anything I do, you know I do it major,' J Hus raps on the title track to the album Big Conspiracy, which he is celebrating the fifth anniversary of with a one-off gig. That feels true, with tickets for the Royal Albert Hall concert selling out in seconds when they went on sale last month and an orchestra now ready and waiting on stage for his grand return. It has been years since he played a headline set and when he emerges, he is full of beans. But he seems frantic as he races through songs and jumps around the stage. The crowd lap it up, excited to be in the presence of one of the best British rappers for years, and when J, right, does lock in, his verses are immaculate. Big Conspiracy won him Best Male at the 2021 Brits in 2021, but the fans go wild when tracks from his debut Common Sense are performed. But Hus has disappeared backstage and it is a backing vocalist rapping in his place. J Hus is overflowing with talent and could put on an incredible show. I'm really hoping this gig has persuaded him to do just that. ★★★☆☆ By Howell Davies
