Netflix has finally revealed the first look at Bridgerton season 4, confirming that the new chapter of the hit Regency drama will arrive in two parts early next year. Fans of the global phenomenon were treated to a teaser trailer unveiling Benedict Bridgerton’s long awaited love story with Sophie Baek, described as one of the most enchanting romances in the series so far.

The first four episodes of season 4 will debut on 29 January 2026, followed by the remaining four on 26 February 2026. The teaser, which instantly sent social media into a frenzy, hints at a story filled with masquerade balls, longing glances and a fairytale connection between Benedict and the mysterious Lady in Silver.

Everything changes when he meets Sophie, portrayed by Yerin Ha, at his mother’s extravagant masquerade ball. Their instant chemistry promises a story of forbidden attraction and emotional depth that fans have been anticipating since the show began.

The ensemble cast returns with fan favourites Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Bridgerton, Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury, and Julie Andrews voicing Lady Whistledown. New additions include Victor Alli as Lord John Stirling and Masali Baduza as Michaela Stirling, expanding the show’s rich tapestry of romance and intrigue.

Bridgerton season 4 marks the halfway point in Netflix’s ambitious adaptation of Julia Quinn’s beloved book series, which follows the romantic journeys of the eight Bridgerton siblings. The upcoming instalment is based on Quinn’s novel An Offer from a Gentleman, widely considered one of the most romantic in the franchise. The streamer has already confirmed that seasons 5 and 6 are in development, ensuring fans can expect more scandals, passion and social drama to come.

The teaser release sparked major excitement across X and TikTok, with fans praising the chemistry between Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha and calling it the most visually stunning season yet. Hashtags like #BenedictBridgerton and #LadyInSilver quickly began trending within hours of the drop.

With its lush cinematography, opulent costumes and signature romantic storytelling, Bridgerton season 4 looks ready to enchant once again, solidifying its reign as one of Netflix’s most talked about and rewatched shows.
