In the Season 3 finale of "Bridgerton," Penelope Featherington's reveal as Lady Whistledown has left fans wondering about Julie Andrews' future involvement in the show.

Brownell teased plans for Season 4, hinting at Penelope's struggles with accountability and authenticity as she navigates her new role. While the shift in the dynamic between Penelope and Lady Whistledown marks a significant change for the show, Brownell assured fans that there is more to come. With Season 3 now streaming on Netflix, viewers will have to wait and see where the series goes next.
