<p>You may have only just got over Polin’s steamy, season three carriage scene but, dear reader, it’s not time to fold up the fans just yet. Shonda Rhimes has given us something else to get hot under the collar about: a sneak peak at&nbsp;<strong><em>Bridgerton&nbsp;</em></strong>season four!</p>



<p>The teaser trailer reveals returning cast favourites along with some lavish scenes of a masked ball and news of this season’s sexy coupling as well as a release date and great news – there’s not too long to wait! Hold on to those pearls ladies, here’s&nbsp;<em>everything&nbsp;</em>we know about&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton</em>&nbsp;season four so far.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-so-what-s-it-all-about">So, what’s it all about?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Bridgerton-S4-7.png" alt="Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thomson) in Bridgerton Season 4" class="wp-image-105437" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton in&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton</em>&nbsp;season four.

<p>Season four will focus on the second-born Bridgerton boy, Benedict (played by Luke Thompson). Over the last three seasons we have seen him, uh hum, experiment, but after a failed throuple with Lady Tilley Arnold (Hannah New) and her friend Paul, it seems our Benedict will be giving monogamy and marriage a try. Who will the lucky gal be? The beautiful ‘Lady in Silver’ whom he meets as his mother’s masquerade ball.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/BridgertionS4.png" alt="Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) in Bridgerton Season 4" class="wp-image-105481" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek in&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton&nbsp;</em>season four.

<p>The mysterious masked maiden is Sophie Baek (<em>Halo</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Dune Prophecy</em>‘s Yerin Ha), who happens to be hiding a lot more under that mask than a pretty face. The daughter of an earl, she is forced to work as a housemaid by her wicked stepmother. What’s more, in true&nbsp;<em>Cinderella</em>&nbsp;style, she has two step-sisters to contend with, one of whom also has her sights set on Benedict. Awkward.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Screenshot-2025-10-14-at-15.07.59.png" alt="Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton, Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton, Michelle Mao as Rosamund Li, and Isabella Wei as Posy Li in Bridgerton Season 4." class="wp-image-121812" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton, Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton, Michelle Mao and Isabella Wei as Sophie’s stepsisters in&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton</em>&nbsp;season four. Image Netflix.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Sophie and Benedict’s masked-meet-cute happens in the first episode so we’re thinking poor Benedict will spend a sizeable amount of the eight-episode season scouring the Ton to find his silver lady, no doubt dodging a wicked step-family member or two along the way.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-anything-else">Anything else?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Bridgerton-S4-6.png" alt="Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton reprise their role as Colin and Penelope Bridgerton in season 4" class="wp-image-105443" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton resume their roles as Penelope and Colin Bridgerton with a baby in tow in&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton</em>&nbsp;season four. Image Netflix</figcaption></figure>



<p>Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) are enjoying newly wedded bliss and parenthood as we spy a bonny Bridgerton baby in the first look images. As for Penelope’s alter ego, Lady Whistledown, who knows how her dual role will transpire, but judging by the&nbsp;<em>Cinderella&nbsp;</em>scandal surrounding Stephanie, we’re sure Whistledown will feel compelled to divulge deets to the Ton.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-which-book-is-it-based-on">Which book is it based on?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Bridgerton-S4-.png" alt="Sophie Baek(Yarin Ha) and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thomson) in Bridgerton Season 4" class="wp-image-105438" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek and Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton in<em>&nbsp;Bridgerton&nbsp;</em>season four. Image Netflix.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Season 4 is based on book three of Julia Quinn’s regency romp called&nbsp;<em>An Offer from a Gentleman</em>. As season 3 skipped ahead to book four, we’re expecting some slight plot deviations, mainly Lady Whistledown’s role in the proceedings. You may also have noticed a name change – in the book Sophie’s surname is Beckett, but in the show she’s been crowned Baek, curious.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-about-the-cast">What about the cast?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Bridgerton-S4-4.png" alt="Golda Rosheuvel's stoic Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton Season 4" class="wp-image-105441" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Hugh Sachs as Brimsley and Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte in&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton&nbsp;</em>season four</figcaption></figure>



<p>Bailey and Simone Ashley aka Kanthony join Polin, as well as other returning cast favourites: Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Hannah Dodd (Francesca Bridgerton), Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton), Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), and of course Julie Andrews’ dulcets as Lady Whistledown. As for Phoebe Dynevor we’re still unsure, but Regé-Jean Page is standing fast on not returning *dabs eyes*.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/BridgertonS4-3.png" alt="Rosamund Li (Michelle Mao) Posy Li (Isabella Wei) and :any Araminta Gun (Katie Leung) in Bridgerton Season 4" class="wp-image-105440" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Michelle Mao as Rosamund Li, Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gao, and Isabella Wei as Posy Li in&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton&nbsp;</em>season four.

<p>Aside from Hu, new faces include her wicked stepmother, Lady Araminta Gao, played by Katie Leung, who you may recognise as Harry’s first love interest, Cho Chang, from&nbsp;<em>Harry Potter</em>. And her two daughters, the beautiful and vain Rosamund Li (Michelle Mao), who also has eyes for Benedict, and Posy Li (Isabella Wei seen most recently in&nbsp;<em>Black Doves</em>). The trio certainly add a villainous edge to proceedings.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-where-is-it-being-filmed">Where is it being filmed?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/bridgerton_101_unit_00733r-2560x1710-1-e1712062394621.jpeg" alt="BRIDGERTON FAMILY HOME LONDON" class="wp-image-90698" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ranger’s House in Blackheath aka the Bridgerton family home</figcaption></figure>



<p>Aside for the usual jaw-dropping stately homes that have become commonplace on the show (the wisteria-clad Bridgerton family pad, Ranger’s House in Blackheath, for one),&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton</em>&nbsp;has expanded its filming locations for season four.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screenshot-2025-02-18-at-08.49.37.png" alt="set of Bridgerton season 4" class="wp-image-105537" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The swanky new set of&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton</em>&nbsp;season four</figcaption></figure>



<p>Crews have been spotted at the newly constructed lots at Shepperton Studios, just outside London. The build, which spans about two acres, features some stunning replicas of Georgian and Regency architecture and includes homes, buildings and a rather splendid Mayfair Street. &nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Screenshot-2025-02-18-at-09.05.10.png" alt="" class="wp-image-105541" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The swanky new set of&nbsp;<em>Bridgerton</em>&nbsp;season four</figcaption></figure>



<p>You can almost picture Benedict running door to door looking for his Lady in Silver. We’re thinking a raunchy rendezvous under that archway.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-release-date">Release date?</h2>



<p>Season four is dropping in two parts again – we know, the&nbsp;<em>suspense!</em>&nbsp;Part one is released&nbsp;<strong>Thu 29 Jan</strong>, and part two&nbsp;<strong>Thu 26 Feb</strong>. Roll on 2026! Until then, get your<em>&nbsp;Bridgeton</em>&nbsp;fix with this teaser trailer below:</p>
