Bridgerton Season 4 trailer sparks outrage as fans slam release date
If you've been following the Bridgerton series on Netflix, you're in it for the long haul - literally.
After an initial sneak peak released on Valentine's Day 2025, Netflix just dropped the official teaser for the next installment, featuring Benedict wearing a mask, walking urgently through a masquerade ball.
However, fans focused on one thing: the release date - and they are not happy about it as the new season won't be released until 2026.
Outrage: Fans expressed their anger over having to wait almost two years for a new season of the show
Though the teaser didn't specify when in 2026 the season would be released, fans were upset about the wait time in general.
The most recent season of Bridgerton was released in May 2024, with the second half following a month later.
However, waiting two years for an eight-episode season doesn't seem to be worth it for some viewers, and one fan pointed out that this would mean an even longer wait time for the season after that.
'If they know what is good for them, they should start acting season 5 now,' they shared.
Disappointed: Some fans said that they wouldn't be interested in the upcoming season, considering how long it's taking Netflix to release it
With a cumulative 91.9 million views since May 16 premiere, season three rank at No 10 on the all time English-language TV chart.
Time will only tell whether fans are truly too upset with the series to engage during its 2026 release - or if they'll begrudgingly open their Netflix and break streaming records once again.

Watch: Drag queens dance for representatives on Oregon House floor
Two drag queens danced in the Oregon House of Representatives to celebrate the passing of a Democratic resolution that marked 'the artistry of black drag performers'. Footage of the flamboyant performance shows the pair taking to the House floor dressed in shimmering kimonos – one in gold and the other in silver – to the sound of Beyonce's I Was Here. They then proceeded to remove their robes and perform a dance routine, with Isiah Esquire, who is bald, revealing a gold vest and Aqua Flora, sporting a blue wig, wearing a multi-coloured jumpsuit. As they lip-synced to Aretha Franklin's A Deeper Love, the drag queens performed the splits before carrying out an exaggerated cat walk, known as 'sashaying', down the aisle in the centre of the House floor while bearing a rainbow-coloured LGBT flag. House members encouraged to applaud Politicians were encouraged to interact with the spectacle by David Gomberg, a Democrat House speaker, who told the chamber: 'Normally, colleagues, we don't applaud during performances…But there are times when I think exceptions are appropriate.' However, the performance was criticised by Republicans, with Dwayne Yunker, a state lawmaker, saying taxpayer-funded chambers should be used for 'serious debate' not 'political theater'. The performance was followed by a speech from Travis E Nelson, a Democratic lawmaker and the first black LGBT member of the House, who brought forward the resolution and praised the drag queens for their 'artistry and courage'. Mr Nelson said: 'Your presence, artistry and courage are a powerful reminder of the joy, resilience and cultural impact of drag in Oregon and beyond. Thank you for sharing your light with us this morning.' The resolution, which passed 34-9, with all no votes cast by Republicans, was scheduled for Pride month and praised Oregon's drag queens for making the black drag community 'one of the most vibrant and vital in the nation'. 'More performance than governance' The performance was met with a swift backlash from Republicans. Mr Yunker said it was hardly in keeping with the vision of the Founding Fathers. He posted on X: 'I'm not sure the Founding Fathers envisioned taxpayer-funded legislative chambers being turned into platforms for political theater. 'The House floor is meant for serious debate, lawmaking, and serving all Oregonians not partisan spectacles designed to push cultural agendas. If this feels more like a performance than governance, you're not alone.' Mr Nelson noted that the drag queens were not paid for the performance. Musical offerings and peculiar resolutions are often part of Oregon House business. Earlier this week, lawmakers adopted a resolution designating the T-Bone as the state's official steak. Aqua Flora described taking part in the performance as 'powerful and beautiful'. The drag queen told The Oregonian: 'What got me through the performance was feeling the ancestors of all these people in the room with us.'

I'm Muhammad Ali's grandson but kept it a secret when I walked into the gym… I took beatings like everyone else
BIAGGIO ALI WALSH is related to the most famous fighter of all time but he hid it - because he wanted to take beatings just like everyone else. The 26-year-old is the grandson to boxing icon Muhammad Ali and now finds himself making his own way in MMA. 4 4 Biaggio once had aspirations of going to the NFL but swapped American football for MMA - where he is now 2-0. The lightweight trains at Extreme Couture - the Las Vegas gym headed up by Eric Nicksick - trainer to Francis Ngannou. When Biaggio first walked into the gym he kept his identity a secret - and it took ex-UFC champion Sean Strickland FOUR YEARS to catch on. Biaggio told SunSport: "I never walked into Extreme Couture and I would tell people, 'Oh, I'm Muhammad Ali's grandson.' "That's actually the last thing I want is for people to know as soon as they get to a gym. "So yeah, I think just word of mouth, people started to find out who I was. Apparently Sean Strickland didn't know till like a couple of weeks ago. "He came up to me and he's like, 'Bro, you're Muhammad Ali's grandson?' I was like, 'Yes Sean, you didn't know this? I thought like Eric or someone would have told you or something. "He's like, 'No. I didn't know, that's so cool. Like, how was he? Was he cool?' I was like, 'Yeah, he was cool, he was funny. Does the boxing make sense now?'" Biaggio - who shares his Islamic faith with his grandad - had seven amateur fights - winning six - before turning professional in 2024. But that came after years of learning the ropes in the gym and taking his licks in the gym - just like everyone else. EXCL Muhammad Ali would still tease George Foreman about Rumble in Jungle win 40 years on as legends became best friends Biaggio said: "In a combat sport, who you're related to means nothing, Where you come from means nothing. "You could come from a silver spoon in your mouth, your dad could be a billionaire, but when you get in that cage and it's locked, even for sparring, that's not gonna help you. "It's you that's gonna be fighting for you. When I first got to Extreme, you know, a lot of ass whoopings, a lot of ass whoopings. You pay your dues, dude. That's how it is in the sport." Biaggio - signed to the Professional Fighters League - returns to the cage on June 27 in Chicago against 2-0 Ronnie Gibbs after nearly one year out. And he said: "I think in this sport, a break like that is good because you can sharpen so many tools and get your mind right and it gives you plenty of time to just get better in everything, physically and mentally. "And that's where I feel like I am. I feel like I've gotten so much better as a fighter and I've gotten so much better in my mental too, so super excited for this fight. I'd like to get a couple more fights at the end of this year." 4 4

Cole Palmer reveals he HASN'T spoken to Chelsea team-mate Mykhailo Mudryk after taking his No 20 shirt with Ukrainian forward facing four-year drugs ban
Cole Palmer did not consult Mykhailo Mudryk before taking his No 10 shirt, though Chelsea 's playmaker does intend on speaking privately with the suspended Ukrainian when he senses the time is right. Having previously worn No 20, Palmer took on his new number ahead of the Club World Cup, with the news breaking on Wednesday how Mudryk now faces up to a four-year ban after being charged by the Football Association for failing a drugs test. Speaking in Philadelphia to the English press pack, Palmer said: 'I wore No 10 all my life growing up and I just like the number. (Lionel) Messi, the big one, (Wayne) Rooney and players like that – it's an iconic number. 'I have not spoken to Misha yet but I will when the time is right. It is not really my place to get involved with him at the minute. I will speak to him.' Palmer was wearing a face mask when he arrived in the United States, with some speculating as to whether he was ill or playing a practical joke for the cameras. Actually, it was neither, as he explained: 'It wasn't a joke. I just don't like the smelly planes. That's why I wear a mask. When I travel I don't like the smells so that's why I wear them. Nothing else. Enzo (Maresca) doesn't know, I didn't tell him, but he didn't ask me to be fair.' On possible fatigue after a long season, Palmer said: 'I will need a break because we've been playing for a year straight. But at the start of last season, everyone wanted to play the Champions League, so now we have it, no one's going to be tired.' Maresca has also reminded Palmer that he has a licence to thrill, with the England international saying: 'Obviously you can't take the p*** and do whatever you want, but I feel like he still gives you a little bit of room to try and see what I can do.' In Philadelphia, it is Palmer's face on the Club World Cup adverts plastered around the city. He is prone to being mobbed when in public, particularly in London, and said on his rapid rise to fame: 'At the start, it was a bit 'wow", but now I get used to it. 'I am just a normal kid so when people do stuff like that I think, 'Why me?' Obviously, it (the pressure) can sometimes get to everyone. But most of the time, I try and ignore it. I still do the same things now that I did before I came to Chelsea. I try to think it's just a game of football at the end of the day, it's not life or death. 'I just try and enjoy it. I like to go and play five-side and go to the Astro [turf] and do normal things.' Chelsea face Flamengo next at the Club World Cup and Palmer added: 'My uncle lives in Brazil and messaged me to say they are one of the biggest clubs in Brazil and that's all they are talking about, so I expect it will be a good game. He has lived in Brazil for over 10 years and he messaged me to say please score.' Estevao Willian is incoming at Chelsea and the 18-year-old Brazilian wonderkid from Palmeiras will compete with Palmer for minutes. 'He's a really good player, and I've spoken to him a few times,' Palmer said. 'He doesn't speak much English, so I think it was a case of Google Translate, but I've had a few conversations with him saying I'm looking forward to seeing him and playing with him.'
