A Sneak Peek at Season 4
To tide fans over, Netflix released a one-minute behind-the-scenes clip from the set. The video features both returning stars and fresh faces, including Sophie Baek and the Li sisters, as well as Lady Araminta Gun.
While the preview doesn’t reveal much about the plot, it confirms that Bridgerton is sticking to what it does best: lavish ballrooms, breathtaking costumes, and swoon-worthy romance. And if the masquerade imagery is anything to go by, Season 4 is gearing up to be visually spectacular.
What Is Season 4 About?
Alongside the video, Netflix dropped a brief synopsis teasing the season’s central romance:
Season 4 turns its gaze toward Benedict Bridgerton, the artistic and free-spirited second son. Unlike his married siblings, Benedict has little desire to settle down — until he crosses paths with a mysterious “Lady in Silver” at Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball.
This marks the beginning of Benedict’s long-awaited love story, reimagined with the introduction of Sophie Baek.
