Fans hoping for more Bridgerton romance will have to wait a little longer\u2014Netflix announced that Season 4 will arrive in 2026, though no exact date has been set yet. Along with this news on May 14, Netflix gave a first look at the new leading couple: Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha.<\/p>\n
The preview shows Benedict wearing a mask at a ball, locking eyes with Sophie, a mysterious woman dressed in silver who is seen admiring a chandelier.<\/p>\n
Season 4 will follow Benedict\u2019s love story, based on Julia Quinn\u2019s book An Offer from a Gentleman<\/em>. The story centers on Benedict falling for Sophie Baek, a maid with big dreams and a hidden past. Netflix described Sophie as resourceful and full of secrets and ambition.<\/p>\n Luke Thompson told Netflix\u2019s Tudum that the story is a kind of \u201cCinderella\u201d twist, and he\u2019s excited to bring that into the Bridgerton world.<\/p>\n Thompson was officially announced as the Season 4 lead in July 2024. In Season 3, Benedict ended a casual relationship and expressed his desire to explore more of life. Thompson explained to USA TODAY that Benedict has always been obsessed with freedom, but now he\u2019s at a point where he has to make a choice and commit.<\/p>\n Filming likely started in London, though Netflix hasn\u2019t confirmed if it\u2019s finished. Showrunner Jess Brownell told The Hollywood Reporter that the show follows a two-year production cycle because of filming, editing, dubbing, and writing, so it takes time to complete each season.<\/p>\n Netflix has also approved Seasons 5 and 6, promising that the Bridgerton family will continue to appear. Executive producer Shonda Rhimes said the plan is to adapt all eight books in the Bridgerton series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fans hoping for more Bridgerton romance will have to wait a little longer\u2014Netflix announced that Season 4 will arrive in\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":74478,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[253],"class_list":["post-74477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-netflix"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
