A new season of is still far away, but Netflix has dropped a wholesome reunion video in which the actors who play the Brigderton brothers reunite in a photo booth. What happens when Wicked’s (Anthony), Luke Thompson (Benedict), Luke Newton (Colin), and Will Tilston (Gregory) get together? There’s a lot of fun and giggles. Here’s what the onscreen brothers said about their chemistry and filming anecdotes. Interestingly, Bailey, Thompson and Newton have already completed their seasons as co-leads; only young Tilston remains. Check out the new video below!
First impressions of each other
On social media, Netflix called the reunion of the brothers “a rare occurrence, indeed.” After their seasons are over, the lead actors have less screen time. The only season in which the brothers were mostly together was the first one, which premiered in December 2020.
The conversation began in the photo booth with first impressions. Bailey and Thompson already knew of one another from the theatre scene; they also remembered Newton’s outfit from the day, white cutoff jeans and a pair of Converse pumps. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Tilston said to his onscreen brothers, “I just remember thinking how much I wanted to be like you guys when I got older. Not just as actors, but as people.”
The co-stars sang a lot on the first season
The first season was led by Rege-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor, so the rest of the cast were supporting players. Bailey recalled that they got to sing a lot on set during the first season. He shared that they’ve never done that afterwards because the next three seasons were led by Bailey, Newton and Thompson, respectively. Bailey shared that the first season gave them that bonding time as brothers.

Bailey, Thompson and Newton are waiting for Tilston’s season
Tilston shared that he’s looking forward to his own season in the near future. He said that watching his onscreen brother as a lead gave him confidence. Newton also said he can’t wait to see Tilston as the lead one day, and he could come to them for advice. He added that Tilston has some practice now that his dance scene from Season 4 went viral.

The Bridgertons are like the Kardashians
They all consider each other brothers in real life. Newton revealed that he has different relationships with each one of them. Bailey cheekily pointed out that one note they had received in season one was that the Bridgertons are like Kardashians. The foursome also wants to do a proper trip now that Tilston is finally 18; the older brothers have already gone away on a weekend bonding holiday.
Luke Newton wants to be in a big Broadway musical
While discussing their prior professional jobs, the actors revealed what they really want to do. Thompson shared that he really wanted to be in a film, while Newton revealed he would love to be in a big Broadway musical. He performed in House of McQueen, an off-Broadway play about late fashion designer Alexander McQueen, last year, but since his training is in musical theatre he would love to return to New York one day.
