We’re certainly not in Mayfair anymore. While Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) spends much of Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1 pining for the mysterious maid Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) within the confines of Regency-era London, the stars of the period drama are traveling the globe to celebrate the series’ 2026 return. Bridgerton cast members are popping up across Europe, Africa, and North America, with even more stops ahead as fans prepare for Part 2’s debut on Feb. 26 — and Tudum has your inside look at all the photos.
Since production began, Thompson has been excited to unveil Season 4 to audiences. “I feel like part of the pleasure of a show is that people will latch on to certain moments,” he says. “For me, the whole Bridgerton journey is interesting. It’s a very rich, interesting story, so we’ll see what people really connect with.”
Ha has one guess about which moments may attract viewers’ attention: “I’m really excited for the My Cottage sequence,” she says, referring to the events of Episode 3. “That’s really where Benedict and Sophie’s relationship blossoms. It’s a parallel between Luke and me, because that’s where our friendship started to blossom as co-stars. … I have a nostalgic, sentimental attachment to that place now.”
With the Bridgerton world tour in full swing, Ha and the rest of the cast may now be forming sentimental attachments to cities around the world. Keep scrolling for all the best photos from every appearance along the way.
The Bridgerton Season 4 Paris premiere
The power of Bridgerton was on full display at the Season 4 world premiere in the City of Love. Leads Thompson and Ha walked the red carpet together, alongside longtime co-stars Victor Alli, Adjoa Andoh, Lorraine Ashbourne, Masali Baduza, Hannah Dodd, Daniel Francis, Ruth Gemmell, Oli Higginson, Florence Hunt, Martins Imhangbe, Claudia Jessie, Emma Naomi, Golda Rosheuvel, Hugh Sachs, and Will Tilston.
During the event, Thompson and Ha urged viewers to keep an eye out for a very special Easter egg in Season 4. “There’s a nice full circle moment with a painted tie pin,” Thompson teased.
Series newcomers Katie Leung, Michelle Mao, and Isabella Wei also walked the red carpet, introducing Bridgerton’s Penwood family to the world. During the Bridgerton Premiere Masquerade live stream event, the trio was asked which co-star they most wanted to share a scene with after being cast. “My dream was [Claudia Jessie as] Eloise, which may or may not happen in this season,” Wei said. “I think she’s so hilarious.”
No matter which cast member they filmed with, all three actors were moved by the welcoming nature of the Bridgerton cast. “It was a table read when I met everyone for the first time. And it was so lovely,” Leung said. Mao agreed, adding, “I had so many amazing conversations with the people from that first day.”
The Cape Town fan event
South African actor Masali Baduza was greeted with open arms by her home country at the Bridgerton celebration in Cape Town. Baduza, who plays adventurous noblewoman Michaela Stirling, was joined by Martins Imhangbe and Emma Naomi, who portray Will and Alice Mondrich. Baduza can’t wait for fans to get to know her character — whom she calls “a baddie” — even better.
“Michaela is very independent, bold, and confident. She marches to the beat of her own drum,” she explains. “She’s fiercely protective of her family, of her cousin John, and she isn’t constrained by the norms of society. It was really great to explore that in this time period.”
Naomi and Imhangbe had previously sworn that more surprises were in store for the Mondriches. Season 4, Part 1 lives up to that promise, as Alice is offered the unexpected opportunity to become Queen Charlotte’s (Golda Rosheuvel) lady-in-waiting.
“The amazing thing about being Will and Alice is that we can never predict where our characters are going because we’re not in the book,” Naomi explained at the premiere masquerade. “So, everything that will surprise you surprised us just as much when we were reading the script.”
