If you’re eagerly awaiting the next social season of Bridgerton, Netflix has just dropped a delightful surprise to tide you over while keeping the spotlight firmly on the future of UK talent.
In a brand-new, exclusive video released by Netflix UK today (following its initial tease yesterday), the four Bridgerton brothers—Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), Benedict (Luke Thompson), Colin (Luke Newton), and Gregory (Will Tilston)—have finally reunited, stepping inside the Generation N photobooth.
Coming together onscreen for the first time in years, the siblings shared plenty of laughs as they reminisced about their early days on the Bridgerton set, adjusting to the show’s massive global success, and a weekend away they once took.

Of course, the conversation naturally turned to what their next big project together could be. Jonathan Bailey had a few ideas, suggesting they become a bobsleigh team, form a boyband called “Take This” (instead of Take That), or star in a remake titled Four Men and a Little Baby.
Here are a few of our favorite highlights and quotes from their photobooth session:
- On Will’s early admiration for his co-stars:
- Will Tilston: “But I just remember thinking how much I wanted to be like you guys when I got older. Not just as actors, but as people.”
- On the grueling nature of Season 1 night shoots:
- Jonathan Bailey: “And it was a night shoot. I remember just sleeping in a tent in the freezing cold thinking like, this is awful. Well, I was thinking about us singing a lot on the first season. And we were like, we’ve never really done that since.”
- On Will’s very first acting job:
- Jonathan Bailey: “So, how old were you when you started? What was your first job?”
- Will Tilston: “I was 12… It’s funny, I don’t remember feeling nervous at all. It was my first ever audition. So, I thought, like, this is… I mean, I wasn’t able to hang on to Margaret Robbie.”
- On their real-life brotherly dynamic:
- Luke Newton: “Do you think we’re all quite like brothers in the world? Yes. I think I have, like, different relationships with all three of you. Like, I know that I’ll share TikToks with you.”
- On the intense anxiety of filming small roles:
- Jonathan Bailey: “I’ve never slept less than having to do one tracking shot in Jack Ryan. And I was in a car with John Krasinski and Wendell Pierce. I’ve never slept less for, like, four days. I was, like, looking at the lines… Every time it got to the camera, I was like…”
- On pitching future projects together:
- Jonathan Bailey: “What are we going to do together? I was thinking about we should be, like, on a bobsleigh team… What about four men and a little baby? Instead of Take That, it’s Take This.”
- On who should do the photo booth next:
- Jonathan Bailey: “Who do you think should be in the booth next? I obviously want the Love on the Spectrum cast… We should get, like, Flo and Claudia. The sisters.”
Spotlighting the Future with Generation N
While the Bridgerton reunion is an absolute treat for fans, the drop is actually part of a much bigger picture for the streamer. The video marks the latest episode of Generation N, an initiative dedicated to spotlighting local UK stars. By bringing together well-known Netflix alumni and fresh new faces, the program allows talent to discuss their craft and their unique experiences working with Netflix.
The Bridgerton boys follow in the footsteps of a stellar lineup of recent Generation N guests, including Jess Gunning (Baby Reindeer), Owen Cooper (Adolescence), and Jamie Campbell Bower, alongside Nell Fisher (Stranger Things), with the series calling Netflix’s behind-the-scenes channel “Still Watching Netflix” its primary home.
For this Bridgerton episode, several of the questions posed to the brothers were actually sourced directly from National Youth Theatre (NYT) students. Furthermore, participants from Netflix and NYT’s IGNITE Your Creativity programme were given hands-on experience on set, directly supporting the production of the episode.
