Attention, members of the Ton: “Bridgerton” will break its two-year release cycle with its upcoming fifth season.

Netflix‘s chief content officer Bela Bajaria announced that “Bridgerton” “will return next year with Season 5” during the streamer’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York Wednesday.

In March, Netflix unveiled a first-look teaser for the fifth season of the series, which is based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels about the love lives of the eight siblings in the titular Bridgerton family, and announced production had begun in the UK on the eight-episode season. At that time, it was revealed Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) and Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza) would be the new leading couple.
