Summary
Bridgertonseason 3 sets up an unexpected but exciting potential spinoff centered on Eloise. Eloise has always been an independent spirit with a thirst for adventure and knowledge. She marches to the beat of her own drum, uninterested in following societal rules. She longs for something bigger in life. Eloise wants to impact the world and be more than a lady in thetonwho gets married and has children.Bridgertonportrays Eloise as a stark difference to her book counterpart, beginning in season 1, which focuses on her finding Lady Whistledown and her apathy regarding her sister Daphne’s debut.
InBridgertonseason 2, Eloise continues her search for Lady Whistledown, and along the way, she learns about political ideologies. She seems to take a break in season 3 whenEloise befriends Cressida, but by the end of the season, she is back on track and ready to change the world when she moves to Scotland with her sister Francesca, her husband John, and his cousin Michaela. Eloise is clearly traveling for herself, and Scotland is just the most accessible because Francesca is moving there to begin her new life.
Bridgerton Season 3’s Bombshell Ending Sets Up A Missing Character’s Return (& Eloise’s Story)
Although Bridgerton season 3 avoids discussing one forgotten character, the final episode opens the door for her very necessary return.
Will Bridgerton Reveal An Eloise In Scotland Spinoff?
A Second Bridgerton Spinoff Is Possible
The prospect of a series following Eloise around as she navigates life in Scotland carries a lot of promise. Theoretically, it’s a concept that could work as a miniseries that explores her time there and the people she meets. What’s more,Bridgertonalready has a wildly successful spinoff-Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. It is the perfect example of what an Eloise in Scotland spinoff could look like.Queen Charlottemostly takes place in the past, but the present day overlaps with theBridgertontimeline during the off-season. Eloise should be expected to return to London during the season, but the off-season lasts nine to 10 months.
Eloise’s Story Needs Her To Experience The World
Eloise’s Storyline Pushes Her Beyond The Boundaries Of The Ton
From the beginning ofBridgerton, Eloise was simply too big for theton. She constantly dreams of expanding her life beyond society’s expectations of getting married and having children. Eloise has watched men go off and find themselves her entire life, whether they decide to travel or pursue other personal endeavors. Meanwhile, Eloise has to sneak away from thetonjust to attend a political meeting. The narrative has gotten to the point where Eloise needs more room to spread her wings and fly, and she can only do that by seeing the world.

Eloise insists that if she wants to change the world, she must see it inBridgertonseason 3, episode 8, “Into The Light.” Even Eloise’s book does not take place in London with theton. Eloise ends up with Phillip Crane inTo Sir Phillip, With Love, the onlyBridgertonbook that takes place entirely away from London. While other books in the series have multiple locations, Eloise is in Gloucestershire the entire time. Therefore, it makes sense for her to see the world, and Scotland is an ideal place to start since that is where Francesca lives.
Why Bridgerton’s Possible Eloise Spinoff Would Break A Golden Rule
Bridgerton’s Focus On The Ton
For the most part,Bridgertontakes place in London with theton. Viewers have yet to see theBridgertonworld outside of London, except for Aubrey Hall and Clyvedon Castle. An Eloise spinoff in Scotland would breakBridgertontradition by stepping away from theton. If anyBridgertonromance were to take place elsewhere, it would be Eloise, given how different she is from her siblings. Scotland is isolated, but it is a significant first step for Eloise. Although she aspires to be different, women in thetondo not have the same freedom as men.

Eloise cannot travel alone as a single woman; she must have a chaperone. Scotland is the only way to escape theton, so an Eloise spinoff would cut all ties from London. However, Eloise is not the only Bridgerton sibling whose romance spends time away from theton. Other than Aubrey Hall and Clyvedon Castle, Benedict’s story spends time away from thetonin Wiltshire, in his home called My Cottage. Although a good chunk of Benedict and Sophie’s romance occurs in London, Eloise’s book features Benedict and Sophie living at My Cottage with their children during the off-season.
Naturally, Francesca’s story also takes place in Scotland most of the time. When Michael (orMichaela inBridgerton) becomes the Earl of Kilmartin, it solidifies Scotland as Francesca’s home. Between Eloise, Benedict, and Francesca, Benedict’s romance is first.Bridgertonalready changed the book order by pushing Colin and Penelope to season 3, so it does not necessarily mean Benedict is next. However, showrunner Jess Brownell has said that it’s Benedict’s story that “opens up the world of the show in a big way,” thus signaling that ifBridgertonever plans to create an Eloise spinoff, it would most likely occur after Benedict’s season.
