It’s been nearly a year since Bridgerton season 3 came out, chronicling the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington as she wrestles under the weight of a big secret.
The highly anticipated two-part season concluded last June, and sadly, there still isn’t an official release date for Season 4. According to Netflix, the next iteration of Bridgerton will center on Benedict Bridgerton meeting his love interest and feature eight episodes. Nonetheless, it may be a while (like 2026) until we get to dive into the Regency era yet again.
In the meantime, though, there is some good news: another Netflix series, The Lady’s Companion, might just be able to fill that void. The Spanish period drama debuted on March 28, is set in 1880s Madrid, and has already received a ton of praise, with one fan tweeting, “If you love Bridgerton, you have to watch The Lady’s Companion. It’s so good, it has me giggling.”
What is ‘The Lady’s Companion’ about?
The Lady’s Companion follows Elena Bianda, played by Nadia de Santiago, a 35-year-old actress from Spain who is most well-known for her role in Las Chicas Del Cable (The Cable Girls) from 2017 to 2020. Elena is Madrid’s most in-demand lady’s companion and a celebrated matchmaker with a reputation for guiding 20 women into “proper courtships and engagements.”
Her life’s passion is seeing her protégées become happily married. Yet, when she’s invited to the Mencía household to identify suitable beaus for three sisters, things take an unexpected turn. Elena actually finds herself falling for a man named Santiago, who was originally meant for one of her clients, and gets tossed into a whirlwind of romance, secrets, and scandal.
Who’s in ‘The Lady’s Companion’ cast?
Santiago is portrayed by 28-year-old Álvaro Mel, who played the lead role of Alex Ventura in La Fortuna, a 2021 adventure drama limited series. Other cast members include:
Isa Montalbán
Zoe Bonafonte
Tristán Ulloa
Iratxe Emparan
Gracia Olayo
When is ‘The Lady’s Companion’ set?

While the aesthetic and plot line of the show may feel reminiscent of Bridgerton, which is set between 1813 and 1827, The Lady’s Companion coincides with the Alphosine era and the Restoration period, giving viewers a fresh take on another intriguing time in history. The first season has eight episodes, which are all around 40 minutes long and available for streaming on Netflix.
Will ‘The Lady’s Companion’ get a season 2?
Now, if you happen to love this show as much as Bridgerton, there is (thankfully) hope for a second season. Gema R. Neira, the creator of the series, revealed that the writers were already “working on it.”
To be clear, nothing has been confirmed just yet! But given the first season’s cliffhanger ending and “to be continued” message right before the credits, it seems in the cards. In the meantime, tune into Season 1 of The Lady’s Companion, which currently has a 7.3-star rating out of 10 on IMDb.
