When the Netflix original series Bridgerton first premiered in 2020, viewers didn’t know what to expect. The romantic costume drama could have been a flop if its couples didn’t either hold our attention or make us root for them.

The first season of Bridgerton followed Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Regé-Jean Page), the second Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate (Simone Ashley), and the third Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin's (Luke Newton). It's unclear whose story will be the focus of season 4; there are a few strong contenders.

Now, after three seasons and a spinoff (Queen Charlotte), Bridgerton is known for having some of the best TV couples in history, with some of the most intense on-screen chemistry. Below, you'll find our rankings for the best couple chemistry in the world of Bridgerton.

A young Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) meets King George’s valet Reynolds (Freddie Dennis) in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story , and they hit it off almost immediately. When Charlotte (India Ria Amarteifio) and George (Corey Mylchreest) are busy, Brimsley and Reynolds are able to sneak away together for some alone time. It’s a secret relationship, fraught with secrets they’re keeping from each other (including George’s mental health) that keeps these two from fully trusting each other for much of the series. There’s plenty of tension between them, such as when Brimsley begs Reynolds for the truth about George, but the scenes between them are relatively brief, and we learn at the end that Reynolds is gone in Brimsley’s old age.
