The glamorous and gossip-filled universe of the Bridgertons is ready to enchant audiences once again. Bridgerton season 4 has officially unveiled its first trailer, along with important release date details, sparking excitement across social media. This upcoming season shifts focus to fan-favourite Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, as his long-awaited love story finally takes center stage.
From the moment the trailer dropped, fans have been buzzing about the undeniable chemistry between Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha, who joins the cast as Sophie Baek. Their dynamic—marked by tension, curiosity, and quiet longing—has already captured attention, with viewers eager to see how their complex romance unfolds.
The trailer opens with Violet Bridgerton determined to see another of her sons fulfill society’s expectations. After guiding Daphne, Anthony, and Colin through the marriage mart, she now sets her sights on Benedict. However, Benedict has never been one to follow the rules of high society. Known for his artistic ambitions and unconventional relationships, he has always prioritized freedom and self-expression over duty. As he admits in the trailer, pursuing love feels like “a venturesome course.”
Pushed into the spotlight by his mother’s firm encouragement, the Bridgerton family hosts an extravagant masquerade ball. This dazzling event becomes the turning point of the season when Benedict encounters a mysterious masked woman known only as the “lady in silver.” Instantly intrigued, he finds himself drawn to her elegance and mystery.
Unbeknownst to Benedict, the woman behind the mask is Sophie Baek—a young woman living a Cinderella-like life, constrained by her circumstances and social standing. Their magical yet fleeting encounter leaves a lasting mark when Sophie accidentally leaves behind a glove, a symbol that sparks Benedict’s search for the woman who captured his heart.
The trailer teases a romance driven by secrecy, longing, and destiny, summed up perfectly by the line, “Behind the cover of a mask, anything can happen.” As their paths cross again, old passions, new challenges, and familiar faces promise to complicate their journey.
Based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels, Bridgerton season 4 will release in two parts on Netflix. The first instalment premieres on January 29, 2026, followed by the second on February 26, 2026.
Most original cast members will reprise their roles, with Yerin Ha joining as Sophie Baek. Fans can also expect to see newlyweds Penelope and Colin Bridgerton navigating married life. Until season 4 arrives, all previous seasons of Bridgerton are available to stream on Netflix.
