Bridgerton Season 4 will focus on the love story of Luke Thompson’s Benedict, Netflix announced on Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a video that strings together a number of characters from the previous instalments of the popular Shondaland show.

Glimpses of Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell), Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) and Miss Malhotra (Banita Sandhu) are shown in the brief clip shared by the makers.

“It has been brought to this author’s attention that perhaps it is time to unmask the newest suitor of the marriage mart. Benedict Bridgerton's story is coming next,” the streamer captioned the video.

More details about fresh additions to the cast of Season 4 and the release date are, however, still awaited.

Seasons 1 and 2 of the Shondaland show had seen Benedict, the second eldest Bridgerton sibling, pursuing his passion for art. Season 3 saw him indulging in a steamy romance with Lady Tilley Arnold (Hannah New). He spent most of the last season tangled in bedsheets with his new lovers, including Lady Arnold’s friend Paul Suarez (Lucas Aurelio). However, when Lady Arnold proposed a more serious relationship, Benedict drew back.

Season 4 of the Chris Van Dusen-created series will be based on Julia Quinn’s 2001 novel An Offer from a Gentleman, the third book in the eponymous eight-book series. In the novel, Benedict falls in love with Sophie Beckett, an earl’s daughter who has been relegated to the role of servant by her disdainful stepmother.

Season 1 of the Regency-era drama explored the love story between Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and her husband Simon (Regé-Jean Page), while Season 2 revolved around the budding romance between Viscount Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma. Season 3, led by Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), followed a friends-to-lovers theme.

The fourth season of Bridgerton, whose storyline seems to be a re-telling of the Cinderella tale, will reportedly hit the streamer in 2026.
