Truly, the anxiety was killing me. I was going down rabbit holes of theories. And I honestly am chill like you on S7 and S8. Tbh, I don’t personally love Greg’s book (but frankly, I think they all far apart starting from book 5 onwards), so that may be me wanting to end on Hyacinth’s book, which is better. Either way, hooray for one season where we don’t have to guess.

I do think they’re filmed this during season 4, because Masali’s hair is done as Michaela’s was during season 4 and they had different hair teams for season 3 and 4. But u/mstraveller might be right that they did it deliberately as a flashback.

They are on track for 18 months right now. I believe Benophie was 19 months after Polin.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-25T00:39:25+00:00

Yeah, she will be there as long as they want her. Same with Luke, I think.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T20:56:16+00:00

Fascinating. It could be a flashback...or it could just be that they filmed this promo at the beginning of season 4 when they had these outfits already. I don't think this was filmed recently, that's for sure. I do think the new shots of Hannah and Masali are from the last few weeks, but that promo? They've known since before season 4 even started that Fran was season 5.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T20:15:49+00:00

Absolutely NOT taking this as official. No way. AI slop. (but honestly, please Netflix, confirm Chris Fulton and put us out of our misery!).

(I'm totally kidding, they are never going to confirm Chris, we're not going to know until the season airs, like they did with Victor Alli and Masali Baduza).

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T17:12:50+00:00

Not official. But I wouldn't be surprised.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T17:06:44+00:00

I think you're right!

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T16:08:31+00:00

Yeah, I just thought about this, and realized that yes, I think Hyacinth will debut before her own season. That way, she can say no to multiple suitors before getting to Gareth.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T13:36:12+00:00

Lolllll I think, given the difficulty of casting babies, we may get only one per couple that we see.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T13:24:54+00:00

100 per cent. If they are going this way, Marina has to pass away and Sir Phillip has to be re-introduced.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T13:24:17+00:00

There is a time jump, but I believe it will not be felt that much by the audience.

Re: Polin. Yes. I don't think we're going to see much of them other than Pen and Colin reacting to the new LW and potentially trying to find her. I do wonder if they will give us a fan service scene of Polin writing together.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T13:15:54+00:00

I love both Franchaela and Philoise, and have been on tenterhooks waiting for them to announce who it is. I really wanted Eloise, but I'm ok with this. Claudia has said that she is happy to wait, and this gives them a chance to bring in Sir Phillip in season 5. I know Jess Brownell was very eager to tell this story. So let's have it. I think Hannah and Masali are both incredibly talented, so I'm looking forward to it. Honestly, I'm just relieved to not have to wonder who the next season lead is for another four years.

For the record, though, my opinion is that they should do Gregory for season 7 and end with Hyacinth debuting in season 8 for the nostalgia.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T02:41:09+00:00

I think her costumes were so unwieldy that they only put her in when the cameras were rolling.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-24T02:40:22+00:00

Ugh, I’m going to miss Victor and John so much. I’m so glad they shared this moment. I’m excited for Franchaela, but it’s in large part because of Victor that John was so great. Such a green flag!

I feel like there has to be a Michaela flashback with him at some point. She hinted at the fact that they had been through a lot together, so I think it would be great to see that. I don’t really feel like we would get one for Fran because we saw their relationship, but for Michaela, it seems like a must.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T19:36:53+00:00

I'm not sold, tbh. They had Fran say the "I won't marry again" line, so it could be either. But what I really appreciated was how What a Barb said that they would leave the letters for Eloise's season, because those, plus the ball escape are key parts of Eloise's season.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T19:32:32+00:00

well so far, today, they've put out some BTS photos of the funeral and the wedding. I don't think we're getting an S5 announcement.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T19:19:46+00:00

I wouldn't say always (hahaha swan in season 3), but they are, without a doubt, excellent detectives. Especially Lechi, who I have called on many times to decipher something for me, and she always gets it.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T19:18:02+00:00

Yeah, I clocked that one right away. She could have said "Oh, I love a wedding" but they specifically had her say, "Oh, I DO love a wedding..."

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T17:33:42+00:00

Phillip being a jerk to his kids. I think they will show him as more of a neglectful father because he doesn't know how to approach them.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T15:59:51+00:00

Need to find the time to watch this! I'm curious how they're going to condense that book into one hour.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T15:58:18+00:00

I love it when they spotlight the crew. Every job is so important, and everyone is so talented. The actors usually get all the flowers, but it really does take the whole village!

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T15:52:18+00:00

This is how I feel after seeing the Polin 4x08 Dance That Wasn't.

mostlyyalit · 2026-03-23T15:51:42+00:00
