A day late, but here is the Bridgerton Briefing with the round up of last week's news and sightings.
As always remember that you are welcome to submit anything for the briefing on any of your Bridgerton faves as I don't see everything. The only criteria is that they must be a member of the current S4 cast or a previous lead of the main series. Any photos submitted must be directly tied to the project or appearance (eg: from a photoshoot, a location picture for filming, official stills, a poster, or photos from the event they were attending). Note I will not post photos taken by fans, or with fans, for general sightings while they are going about their day.
This Tempting Madness starring Simone Ashley will have a special screening on the opening night of the Lightreel Festival Opening Night this Thursday. You can find more information here.
