Since it landed on Netflix back in 2020, Bridgerton has completely taken over our screens and our conversations. It’s got everything – dreamy love stories, wild scandals, and that quirky mix of corsets paired with string-quartet covers of pop songs that somehow just works.
From the juicy gossip at those fancy balls, or just can’t get enough of Lady Whistledown’s witty commentary, it’s pretty impossible not to get completely swept up in all the drama.
What’s this season about?
Now, all eyes are on Season 4 – and it’s finally time for Benedict Bridgerton to take center stage. While Netflix hasn’t confirmed the exact plot just yet, book fans know his story is a swoony Cinderella-inspired arc: a masked ball, a mysterious woman, and a love that challenges class expectations. Yes, we’re already counting down.
The cast for season 4 and who’s returning for the season?
What we do know is that the cast is locked in and ready. Luke Thompson finally takes the lead as Benedict, the creative, quietly charming Bridgerton brother, alongside newcomer Yerin Ha as Sophie – the mysterious woman at the heart of his fairy-tale romance.
Familiar are back too: Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley as Anthony and Kate, Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton as Penelope and faces Colin, and Claudia Jessie as the ever-blunt Eloise. And of course, Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) is still reigning with flair. The ton’s assembled – and the drama’s just getting started
When will season 4 be released?
But here’s the thing – the wait is long. Like, *really* long. Season 3 dropped in two parts in 2024, over two years after Season 2 aired, and Season 4 isn’t expected until 2026. And even though Netflix has confirmed Seasons 5 and 6 are in the pipeline, no release dates have been announced. Fans are hyped, but they’re also tired of the slow rollout.
Still, if there’s one thing *Bridgerton* does well, it’s making us wait – and want more. So whether you’re in it for the scandal, the slow glances, or the secret rendezvous, we’ll be here… counting the days (and rewatching Seasons 2 and 3 for the hundredth time).
