When will The Bold Type season five be released?
In January, it was announced that the show had been renewed for a fifth and final season, following a less than smooth end to season four. Like many other shows, filming was shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic meaning that the writers had to rethink their finale and scrap two entire episodes.
All four seasons of the show recently landed on Netflix
The good news is that filming for season five will soon commence with Covid-19 protocols in place to keep the cast and crew safe. While an exact date as to when they ll start shooting has not been confirmed, the cast recently got together (over Zoom, of course) for their first table read of the new season.
The series is inspired by the life of long-time magazine editor and executive Joanna Coles, who serves as an executive producer on the show.
The fifth and final season will consist of just six episodes. That s a shorter run than usual for the show, with the series first three seasons containing 10 episodes each and season 4 featuring 16 instalments.
Alongside the core cast members, Nikohl Boosheri will also return as Adena El-Amin for the final season, which is expected to air later this year. FREEFORM
