Behind-the-scenes images have been revealed, showcasing the grand style of season 4.

Get an exclusive look at how the cast and crew brought Benedict and Sophie’s epic romance to life.

Each magical season of Bridgerton follows one of the family’s eight siblings on their path to finding love. Season 4, now streaming on Netflix, centers on free-spirited Benedict (Luke Thompson), who falls for the beguiling Lady in Silver at a masquerade ball — only to discover she’s a ward of nobility-turned-maid at a neighboring estate named Sophie (Yerin Ha).

Though each season’s love story is distinct, what remains consistent across the series is the close-knit cast and crew who bring these epic romances to life. “We’re very lucky to have a kind group of people,” Thompson says. “I’m not just talking about the cast — I’m talking across the board.” Each chapter reunites frequent above- and below-the-line collaborators, while also welcoming fresh faces into the mix. As series newcomer Ha describes, “It really was like slotting into a family.”

“To me, they have a chemistry like no other,” says executive producer Shonda Rhimes.

Season 4 takes Benedict and Sophie from Mayfair’s ballrooms to My Cottage, a highly anticipated trip for fans of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton book series, while also pulling back the curtain on the people who keep these stately homes so magnificent — down to the perfectly poured cups of tea. And thanks to the production designers who craft the sumptuous sets, the costume designers who dress the drama, hair and make-up teams, music teams, producers, and so many more, every lush scene of Bridgerton is a feat of creativity and collaboration.

“It’s been almost eight years now that I’ve been in Bridgerton world,” says showrunner Jess Brownell. “If you have to live in one world [for that long], let it be this one. This is a good one.”

Here, the on- and offscreen family takes us behind the scenes of the latest Bridgerton love story.

“I remember my first fitting [for the masquerade ball],” says actor Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton. “There was a skeleton version of this unbelievable armor that Eloise wears as Joan of Arc. I had this really short, Kill Bill–style wig.” Brownell adds, “That was just the perfect call from Julia Quinn, in terms of Eloise being a Regency feminist.”

Queen Charlotte wears 19 different wigs over the course of Season 4. When asked whether she has a favorite, Rosheuvel says, “I can’t pick one. They are all my children. The Victoria and Albert Museum should have an exhibition for QC’s wigs.”

Even alum Regé-Jean Page couldn’t help but celebrate Isabella Wei’s casting as Posy Li. Wei says, “My friend was working at a party Regé was at and she blurted out, ‘My friend booked Bridgerton Season 4.’ He said, ‘Let’s send her a selfie!’ It made me feel like the show is a family from Season 1 to 4.”

As fans of the previous three seasons, newcomers Wei and Michelle Mao, who plays Rosamund Li, each manifested scene partners. “My dream was Eloise, she’s so hilarious and one of my favorite characters of the show,” says Wei. “I really wanted to share a scene with Lady Whistledown, obviously,” says Mao. “Nicola’s such a hero of mine.” Both onscreen sisters accomplished their goals by the end of Season 4 filming.
