Simone Ashley hopes to reprise her 'Bridgerton' role in season 4

Actress Simone Ashley, who plays Kate Sharma in Bridgerton, says she hopes she and co-star Jonathan Bailey get an opportunity to return for season four of the popular Netflix series.

In the third season of the period drama, Ashley and Bailey reprised their characters Kate and Viscount Anthony Bridgerton. Kate and Anthony, now married and set to welcome their first child, were at the center of Bridgerton season two.


"I really hope so," Ashley said of reprising their roles in the fourth season.

"Both Johnny and I, we adore our characters, Kate and Anthony, so much and their relationship and what they mean for the show. I think we'll do all we can with our schedules to make it work so that we can, hopefully," she told People magazine.

At the end of Bridgerton season three, Kate and Anthony were shown talking about leaving for the former's native India from London to welcome the baby.

The first part of the series' third installment premiered on May 16, followed by its second part on June 13.

The latest season of Bridgerton followed the friends-to-lovers romance of Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, played by Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton. It also starred Claudia Jessie, Luke Thompson, Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh, Ruth Gemmell, Hannah Dodd, Jessica Madsen, Martins Imhangbe, Emma Naomi, and Daniel Francis.

'The Devil Wears Prada 2' review roundup: Critics praise the cast, question the script

Highlights

  • Widely praised for performances, especially Meryl Streep returning as Miranda Priestly
  • Critics note its updated take on a changing fashion and media landscape
  • Reactions remain mixed, with questions over repetition and relevance

A familiar world, slightly reshaped

With The Devil Wears Prada 2, the story returns to Runway nearly two decades on, bringing back Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci alongside Meryl Streep’s commanding Miranda Priestly. Early reviews largely agree on one point: the cast remains the film’s strongest asset. Streep’s performance, once again, is described as precise and controlled, anchoring the film even when the narrative feels less certain.

Critics also point to the film’s attempt to reflect a changed industry. Runway is no longer defined by excess alone, but by shrinking budgets, digital pressures and a younger audience shaping trends. Miranda is shown adapting to this shift, even if reluctantly, while Andy re-enters a world she once left behind.
