From Morning TV to Regency Scandal ‘This Morning’ Star Stuns Fans With Surprise Bridgerton Tie-In Role Ahead of Season 4, Sending the Internet Into a Frenzy. No one saw this crossover coming, but the beloved daytime TV favorite has just landed a glamorous new role connected to Bridgerton — and fans are already speculating how it could shake up the next season. With Season 4 looming and anticipation at fever pitch, this unexpected casting twist has sparked excitement, curiosity, and plenty of drama online. Viewers are asking one big question: Is this the boldest Bridgerton move yet?

The Bridgerton podcast on Netflix will be helmed by none other than This Morning’s Alison Hammond for the drama’s fourth series.

The popular TV host, known for presenting the ITV morning show with Dermot O’Leary on Fridays and co-hosting The Great British Bake Off alongside Noel Fielding, will take up the reins of Bridgerton: The Official Podcast.

This is a production by Netflix and Shondaland, coinciding with the premiere of the hit period drama’s fourth season at the end of the month.

A self-confessed Bridgerton enthusiast, Hammond will engage in chats with the cast and creatives across six episodes. This includes the drama’s new romantic leads Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha.

Thompson will reprise his role as Benedict Bridgerton, taking the spotlight opposite newcomer Ha, who plays his enigmatic Lady in Silver, also known as Sophie Baek.

While further guests remain a secret, fans can anticipate Hammond delving into the series’ latest heart-throbbing romance and other juicy developments in the ton this year, reports <a href=”https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/this-morning-alison-hammond-bridgerton-36521797″ rel=”Follow” target=”_self”>the Mirror</a>.

Additionally, viewers can access the podcast on Netflix in the US, making it readily available once they’ve binged the first four episodes of the new season, launching on 29th January.

For those outside the US, the podcast will be accessible on YouTube. The first episode will coincide with the release of the first part of Bridgerton season four on 29th January, followed by two more episodes released weekly.

Following that, the subsequent three episodes will drop weekly after part two arrives on the platform on 26th February.

Whilst the interviews will be accessible in video format on Netflix and YouTube, enthusiasts can also catch them on Apple Podcasts and Spotify for listening on the move.

The reveal arrives as Netflix has announced numerous other Bridgerton-related offerings to look forward to alongside the eagerly awaited return.

Beyond a podcast, viewers will be able to watch the premiere live from Paris on 14th January, attend fan gatherings in more than 20 nations, including the UK, Australia, Brazil and Spain, and explore partnerships with leading brands such as Dove, Pandora, COTY, Liberty of London and others.

Netflix’s Chief Marketing Officer Marian Lee stated: “Bridgerton continues to ignite a passionate global fandom, uniting audiences around a once-underserved genre and proving that romantic stories are truly universal.

“The excitement for season four is at an all time high and we have many plans to delight and continue deepening our engagement with fans.

“From unique collaborations with beloved brands to bringing our world premiere to Paris for the first time-the City of Love and where Luke Thompson grew up-to cast appearances and fan events around the world, from Brazil to South Africa.”
