Warning: This article contains spoilers for Julia Quinn’s novels To Sir Phillip, With Love and When He Was Wicked.
Dearest gentle reader, the ton may soon be preparing for a funeral.
As rumors swirl around what’s to come when the final four episodes of Bridgerton season four release Feb. 26, the novelist behind the beloved historical romance universe, Julia Quinn warned that fans may walk away in mourning.
“I can just say, get your tissues ready, because it’s rough,” she told Us Weekly in an interview published Feb. 5. “When I visited the set, they were filming scenes and I saw a scene that was—at the same time incredibly joyful and just heart-wrenching—so, yeah, you’re gonna need tissues for part 2.”
In the part two trailer, a somber Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) even traded in her usual pastel looks for a black gown. As for who the elites of Mayfair could possibly say goodbye to before season four’s end, well, the books may point to the unlucky character.
