Net international migration to the U.S. peaked at 2.7 million new entries in 2024, but has since sharply declined. It fell to 1.3 million last summer, according to January Census data, and then turned net negative, according to research from Brookings, meaning more people are leaving the U.S. than coming in. The private sector has weighed in, too, with Goldman Sachs economists reporting last week that immigration policies put in place over the past year have resulted in an 80% decline in net migration relative to the historical average.
Without spoiling things, many fans might be disappointed not to see the sapphic storyline we've been waiting for since Michaela's character was revealed in Season 3. However, to me, this is an exciting clue that we may be looking at a Season 5 that foregrounds queer desire and love, instead of relegating it to a side storyline. This season, Bridgerton leans into a different kind of yearning: one of being able to live freely, outside of society's rules. Benedict tells Sophie, "Society should not be allowed to dictate the rules of how one lives life. Or who one loves," and it feels like Bridgerton is setting up Season 5 on a platform of love and pride, not scandal. "Love does not always look how one expects," Michaela says.
