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.Bridgertonhas produced numerous rising stars and current A-listers (hello,Sexiest Man AliveJonathan Bailey!). Also among the post-Bridgertonsuccess stories are season 2'sSimone Ashley, season 3 leading ladyNicola Coughlanand season 1'sRegé-Jean PageandPhoebe Dynevor.
Before tuning into Benedict Bridgerton's love story with Sophie Baek inseason 4on Jan. 29, 2026, check out behind-the-scenes pictures that show the cast's close-knit bond.
Vanity Shot
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 Dynevorand 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 theBridgertonwrap 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.
My Fair Lady
Imhangbe shared a handful of photos of him with his on-screen wife, Alice (far right, played byEmma Naomi) as well as Page and the fiercely elegant Lady Danbury, brought to life by Adjoa Andoh.
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.
Babies of the Bunch
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
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 brothersLuke NewtonandLuke Thompson.
Three Heartthrobs
Whether they're decked in garb from the 19th century or modern day, these three certainly make quite the trio either way.
Catch Your Eye
"Bridgerton's biggest fans," Newton playfully captioned this rather, er, hot,photo.
Sweet Treat
"The day Mr Bailey got us all ice cream🍦," Newtoncaptioned this photoof him and some of his on-screen siblings enjoying a Flake on a rather chilly day.
Polin Forever
Before Penelope and Colin's love story played out on season 3, fans were already anticipating the best friends coupling up.
Mirror Mirror
Proof that mirror selfies most certainly should have been a thing in the Regency era.
Maid for This
Daphne would be lost without her lady's maid, Rose, played by Molly McGlynn.

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 wroteon Instagram, going on to thank a number of people in detail whose help and company had a particularly salient impact on His Grace.
