The Bridgertons are a family on-screen and friends off-screen, too!
When the regency-era romance series premiered on Netflix in 2020, it became an instant hit, and every season has only expanded the Shondaland show's invested fandom. Bridgerton has produced numerous rising stars and current A-listers (hello, Sexiest Man Alive Jonathan Bailey!). Also among the post-Bridgerton success stories are season 2's Simone Ashley, season 3 leading lady Nicola Coughlan and season 1's Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor.
Before tuning into Benedict Bridgerton's love story with Sophie Baek in season 4 on Jan. 29, 2026, check out behind-the-scenes pictures that show the cast's close-knit bond.

While Daphne Bridgerton and her overbearing, well-meaning eldest brother Anthony's relationship may grow strained on-screen at times — what with the pressure of him having to marry her off and all — Phoebe Dynevor and Jonathan Bailey are close pals in real life thanks to their time on set, often sharing behind-the-scenes shots together.

That's a Wrap

The rules of polite society would bar this particular group from fraternizing together in such a heedless manner, but the Bridgerton wrap party brought the crew together for what appears to have been a very good time indeed.

Dashing Dudes

The Duke of Hastings and his sparring partner, Will Mondrich, look absolutely dashing — if a bit disheveled, on the Duke's part — in this shot of the pair. Played by Regé-Jean Page and Martins Imhangbe, their characters' close friendship — which crosses class lines — is pinnacle to the Duke's emotional development.

Dinner Party

Gang's all here! Perhaps the youngest Bridgertons would be able to avoid food fights if placated with the Duke's iPad? Just a thought.

The youngest Bridgertons — Hyacinth and Gregory, played by Florence Hunt and Will Tilston, now 18 and 19 — are also on Instagram, where each shared a number of BTS photos and fond memories from filming the show.

Part of the Family

Despite being vehemently against having children of his own, the charming Duke has a way with the youngest members of the Bridgerton brood — and it would seem that Page shares that affinity with his young costars (and Ruth Gemmell, who plays matriarch Lady Violet Bridgerton).

Feathers Galore

The Featheringtons in their feathered headresses were one of the show's most iconic style moments, methinks.

Bro-ing Out
Luke Newton/Instagram
The Bridgerton brothers look rather different when trading puffy sleeves for puffer coats, but their bond seems to be just the same. Bailey seemed to forge a strong bond with his on-screen brothers Luke Newton and Luke Thompson.

Page shared a handful of photos of the show's cast and crew, writing a heartfelt thank you to those who helped the production come together.
"It takes a village. A city more like. And so many people deserve to be proud of the countless hours and endless heart they gave to make sure we all had this show - but here is a very brief and incomplete sample of my own personal awe and gratitude to our village of bright, generous people," he wrote on Instagram, going on to thank a number of people in detail whose help and company had a particularly salient impact on His Grace.

All's fair in love and war — an idiom that Cressida (second from left, played by Jessica Madsen) and her meddling mama would do well to remember while courting the Prince!
