Bridgerton Season 4 Will Focus on Benedict

On Christmas Day, Netflix dropped the official trailer for Part 1 of the upcoming fourth season of Bridgerton, which will be split into two parts once again. Part 1 will debut on January 29, 2026 and Part 2 on February 26.

Season 4 will center on Benedict (Luke Thompson), the second son of the Bridgerton family. Unwilling to settle down like his brothers, his view changes when he encounters a captivating Lady in Silver (Yerin Ha) at his mother’s masquerade ball. Sophie has been forced to spend much of her life working as a maid for the most demanding employer in the ton. But the resourceful Sophie always finds a way to persevere through her circumstances, which will drastically change after she disguises herself to attend Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball and meets Benedict Bridgerton.

Per Netflix, “When fate brings Benedict and Sophie back together, Benedict wrestles between the reality of his affection for this intriguing maid and the fantasy of the Lady in Silver, unaware that they are the same person. Will Benedict’s inability to see these women as one in the same derail the undeniable spark between him and Sophie? And can love truly conquer anything, even a cross-class connection forbidden by society?”

Inspiring Benedict’s journey are the marriages of his siblings, including Francesca (Hannah Dodd) to John Stirling (Victor Alli), and Colin (Luke Newton) to Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), who faces new challenges as a now public gossip columnist.

“What’s striking about Season 4, is that it’s the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world. You have to hold both of them — the romance and the reality — in your hand. In its best version, ‘true love’ happens in the middle of that,” Luke Thompson tells Tudum.
