By now, you’ve devoured all of Bridgerton season three, and while you still may be thinking about some of the steamiest moments from part two, you’re likely also grappling with the many questions the final episode raised about the show’s next act. Here’s everything we know about Bridgerton Season 4 so far.
A new Bridgerton sibling gets their time in the spotlight.
Each season has been dedicated to the love story of one of the eight Bridgerton siblings, roughly following the outline in Julia Quinn’s novels on which the series is based. There have been Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor), Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), and Colin (Luke Newton) seasons, and season four is no different. The new installment will focus on Benedict (Luke Thompson) and his quest for love.
Per an official logline, “The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down—until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”
There’s a new leading lady.
Actress Yerin Ha plays Sophie Baek (née Beckett, in the books). The 29-year-old Korean-Australian actor previously starred in Bad Behavior, the Halo TV series, and HBO’s Dune: Prophecy.
Ha is the series’ first East Asian leading lady. In an interview with W, the actress said, “There have been parts of my life when I felt like I was undeserving of love as well. That contributed to my feeling ‘other,’ growing up in the suburbs of Sydney, not having as much of an Asian community in public school. I learned from Sophie that love is actually everywhere around you, and it is where you make it.”

The Regency era’s class divide is highlighted.
This Cinderella-esque season of Bridgerton focuses more on the dynamic between the upper and servant classes in the Regency period, due to Sophie being of a scandalously lower status than Benedict.
Ha told W, “I was like, Oh, she’s got trauma. This season is a lot—is darker the right word?—for Bridgerton. There’s something in the class struggle and the class divide, and opening up the Bridgerton universe to the downstairs universe, that made it more grounded. There are actual societal stakes at play.”
A teaser for part two of Bridgerton season four has been released.
On February 13, 2026, Netflix dropped the trailer for part two. It shows Sophie and Benedict at the crossroads that we left them standing on in part one. Desperate to be together, they both contemplate what they will lose—and gain—if they decide to be together despite society’s judgments.
Jonathan Bailey also makes an appearance, returning as Benedict’s big brother, Anthony, to dole out some advice. Watch below:
The season premieres in two parts.
The first half of Bridgerton season four premiered on January 29, and the second half arrives on Netflix on February 26.
