- *Bridgerton *season 4, part 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

- The season finale includes a tribute to two crew members: Nicholas Braimbridge and Tony Cooper.

- Braimbridge was a scenic artist, and Cooper was a longtime unit driver.

*Bridgerton** *season 4 has concluded, with the last four episodes hitting Netflix on Thursday, Feb. 26. True to form, the latest installment ended with another Bridgerton sibling getting married — this time it was Benedict (Luke Thompson) exchanging vows with Sophie (Yerin Ha), ready to kick off their happily ever after.

But before the post-credits scene unfolded, a tribute appeared on screen: "In loving memory of Nicholas Braimbridge, Tony Cooper."

Read on to learn more about these two men, including their connection to *Bridgerton*.

Nicholas "Nick" Braimbridge died in May 2025, according to a GoFundMe campaign set up by* Bridgerton *art director Alison Gartshore. He is survived by his two teenage daughters, Flora and Amelia, and was preceded in death by his wife. His cause of death was not specified.

Braimbridge was a scenic artist who played a significant role in shaping the world of *Bridgerton *and its spinoff, *Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story*, helping to create the gorgeous sets we all adore.

"He was an expert faux finisher well known for his exquisite marbling and wood grain finishes, the knowledge of which was built up over years working with very top end interior designers and latterly within the film and TV industries," Gartshore wrote.

She continued, "I worked closely with Nick and he was an integral part of our Art department team, and was a delightful, charming, funny man — a true gent. Everyone who met him loved him and we as a team are all very upset by his passing, he will be greatly missed."**
