Ready to journey back to the ton? Netflix’s Regency romance series “Bridgerton” has unveiled the release date(s) for its upcoming fourth season. The season will focus on the Bridgertons’ second brother, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), and his romance with a mysterious, masked woman he met at a ball – to be played by newcomer Yerin Ha. See the clip below!
Benedict’s season is based on the book “An Offer From a Gentleman” from Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton book series. In the Cinderella-inspired arc, he falls in love with a masked lady at the ball who is actually a maid in disguise named Sophie Beckett. The upstairs-downstairs dynamic will give their budding romance a massive hurdle to overcome toward happily ever after. Following Bridgerton’s tradition for anachronism, Sophie Beckett is now Sophie Baek, a South Korean descent in a South Korean household that somehow ends up in Regency-era London. It’ll be interesting to see how the show rewrites the family’s back story – but given the massive popularity of K-Pop and K-Drama in the west, there’s certainly plenty of ways for the series to embrace the hype in its own way.
Season 4 is slated to air in two parts next year. Part 1 will air on January 29, 2026, followed by part 2 on February 26.
