Netflix’s Bridgerton season 4 teases Benedict’s forbidden love story

Netflix has released a first look at Bridgerton season 4, teasing the romantic journey of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and his love interest, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). 

The latest installment in Shonda Rhimes’ hit Regency-era drama is set to adapt An Offer From a Gentleman, Julia Quinn’s novel that introduces a Cinderella-like love story.

The teaser, unveiled during Netflix’s “Season of Love” event, includes behind-the-scenes footage and new images. Showrunner Jess Brownell revealed that season 4 will be the “most faithful” book adaptation yet, featuring iconic moments such as the grand masquerade ball, Sophie’s hidden identity, and the much-anticipated lake scene.

This season will also delve deeper into the class divide of the Regency era, as Sophie, a former lady’s maid, falls for the wealthy and free-spirited Benedict. Fans can expect romance, intrigue, and forbidden love themes at the heart of the season’s eight episodes.

Returning cast members include Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton), Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Bridgerton), Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma), and Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte). The series is executive-produced by Rhimes, Brownell, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica, and Chris Van Dusen.

Currently in production in London, Bridgerton season 4 does not yet have an official release date.
