Elvis Duran and the Morning Show ON DEMAND

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Luke Thompson, who steps into the spotlight as Benedict Bridgerton in the newest season of Netflix’s global hit Bridgerton. After years of watching the series become a cultural phenomenon, this marks the first season in which Benedict’s love story takes center stage. Luke opens up about what it means to carry the season as the lead, from the excitement and pressure of stepping into a role previously held by other Bridgerton brothers to discovering new layers of Benedict’s identity. He reflects on how Benedict has evolved since season one, how he sees him as the most free-spirited of the siblings, and what Benedict is truly searching for this season…love, freedom, or purpose. Luke also shares how collaborative the process was in shaping Benedict’s arc and whether stepping fully into the role revealed anything surprising about the character. Luke discusses the legacy of Bridgerton’s leading men, the influence of watching Regé-Jean Page take the role seriously in season one, and what he’s learned from sharing the screen with a dynamic ensemble cast. Thoughtful and intimate, this episode offers a deeper look at Benedict Bridgerton’s journey and the heart of the season, while getting to know who Luke Thompson is beyond his work.
