Dedicated fans of Bridgerton—Netflix’s lush, swooningly romantic period drama—have been waiting with bated breath since June 2024 for their next invitation to this world of clandestine romance and rigid social hierarchies. And while waiting for news of the release date has been as sweetly agonising as anticipating the arrival of a scented letter from a paramour, that wait is now almost over.
When is Bridgerton season 4 being released in Australia?
Bridgerton season four hits Netflix in Australia on January 29, 2026. Well, the first four episodes do, at any rate; you’ll have to wait until February 26 for the back half of this season. And while we’re here: yes, seasons five and six have been green lit.
What is Bridgerton season 4 about?
Based on the beloved series of novels by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton follows the fortunes and follies of the titular family as their eight grown children navigate the competitive world of Regency high society in search of love, social advantage, and the odd spot of revenge.
This season puts the spotlight on the titular clan’s second-eldest sibling, Benedict Bridgerton. While his elder and younger brothers are happily married off, he’s not the sort to get tied down…until his mother throws a masquerade ball and he has a meet-cute with a mysterious “lady in silver.” He doesn’t get her name, but she does leave behind an opera glove—a plot device that has us thinking of pumpkins at midnight.
The cast of Bridgerton season 4
Luke Newton is Colin Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan is Penelope Featherington, Claudia Jessie is Eloise Bridgerton, Luke Thompson is Benedict Bridgerton, Ruth Gemmell is Violet Bridgerton, Florence Hunt is Hyacinth Bridgerton, Will Tilston is Gregory Bridgerton, Jonathan Bailey is Anthony Bridgerton, and Simone Ashley is Kate Bridgerton. That’s a lot of Bridgertons.
Meanwhile, Australian newcomer Yerin Ha is Sophie Baek, the mysterious lady in silver. Other new faces this year include Michelle Mao and Isabella Wei as Rosamund and Posy Li, newcomers to Mayfair society, and Katie Leung as their formidable mother, Araminta Gun.
