What Bridgerton Season 4’s First Look Means For The Show

Benedict’s Love Story Begins

With a new season comes an expanded cast for Bridgerton, with Ha’s Sophie being just one of multiple newcomers for the show. This includes Lady Araminta Gun (Katie Leung) and her two daughters, Rosamund (Michelle Mao) and Posy (Isabella Wei), whose stories will cross paths with the season’s main character. Alice Mondrich (Emma Naomi) and Queen’s man Brimsley (Hugh Sachs) have also been promoted to series regulars, alongside Francesca’s (Hannah Dodd) love interest, Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza).

The show is also promising to continue focusing on siblings like Colin, with him and Penelope clearly still having important roles to play in the upcoming episodes. Since Bridgerton season 3 ended with her approaching her writing as Lady Whistledown in a different way, rumor can still be an important, yet different, part of Benedict’s story. As for the romance itself, little is known about how it will compare to that of previous siblings, other than having a Cinderella style as the lead attempts to search for Sophie’s true identity.

Our Take On Bridgerton Season 4’s First Look

A Promising Continuation For The Regal Romance

The new images and footage from Bridgerton season 4 signify a promising continuation as Benedict’s romantic story begins. Since there’s still plenty of mystery surrounding the show’s new characters and the specific events that are going to transpire, the show is leaving how everything will play out to the imagination. But, with new characters and settings promised in the promotional material, it offers strong setup for how the rest of the season will play out.

Bridgerton season 4 is expected to arrive in 2026.
