Regency drama fans, dust off your dancing shoes: Bridgerton Season 4 is officially on its way, and it’s going to bring a fresh perspective to the world of the ton. Filming has wrapped as of May 2025, and the season is set to premiere in early 2026.
This time, the story pivots to Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), a character many fans have rooted for from the sidelines. He’ll cross paths with Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) in what promises to be a deeply felt, socially complex romance. The pair’s first fateful meeting takes place at a grand masquerade ball — and Sophie, clad in silver and mystery, may be more than she appears.
In a recent press event, showrunner Jess Brownell teased that this season will explore not just the high society of the Bridgertons but also the often overlooked lives “downstairs” — giving viewers a more layered, inclusive vision of the Regency world.
Adding to the allure, the cast is expanding with 12 new supporting actors joining the fray, further enriching the tapestry of characters in Season 4. Their arrival underscores the show’s ambition: to evolve beyond its familiar ballroom intrigues and dig deeper into emotional, societal, and class dynamics.
This renewal isn’t just for one more season: Netflix has officially confirmed Seasons 5 and 6, ensuring that the Bridgerton legacy will continue to flourish.
For longtime fans and newcomers alike, Season 4 of Bridgerton promises not just romance, but transformation — a bold chapter where love spans more than just social ranks, and where even the second son finally has his day.
