Bridgerton Season 4: The Bold Prediction That Could Change Everything

Benedict’s tale finally arrives in Bridgerton season 4, and if one particular trend continues, it very well may become the TV show’s most successful and beloved set of episodes. Netflix’s historical romance series, created by Chris Van Dusen, follows the Bridgertons, a prestigious, high-society family living in London, England, during the Regency era. Each season follows one Bridgerton sibling’s (there are eight total) epic love story, and Bridgerton season 4 will be Benedict’s time to shine.

The cast and crew began filming Bridgerton season 4 in September 2024 (reportedly scheduled to end in April 2025), but Netflix isn’t expected to release the episodes until 2026.

Bridgerton is based on Julia Quinn’s book series of the same name, and like the show, each of her eight novels covers one of the Bridgerton siblings’ romances. For the first two seasons, the TV series followed the book order, with season 1 revolving around Daphne and season 2 focusing on Anthony. However, for season 3, the writers skipped over Benedict’s story to adapt Colin’s book, which is fourth in Quinn’s collection, while Benedict’s is third. Netflix is set to get back on track in season 4, though, and one fact about Bridgerton suggests it will be the best one yet.

All Bridgerton seasons have excellent scores on Rotten Tomatoes, both on the Tomatometer and the Audience Score (now called the Popcornmeter). However, whereas most shows tend to decline in quality and viewer appreciation as the years go on, Netflix’s historical romance series has only improved. As of the writing of this article, Bridgerton season 1 has a 70 percent score on the Popcornmeter, season 2 sits at 73 percent, and season 3’s score is 78 percent. This trend even works when including Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. The prequel, released between seasons 2 and 3, has a 74 percent Audience Score.

Since every season of Bridgerton outperformed the previous one concerning its Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes, high expectations are in place for season 4. If Benedict’s Bridgerton story is to keep the admirable trend going, it must receive a score higher than 78 percent. However, it will be a long time until viewers will be able to watch and critique season 4.

Bridgerton‘s climbing Rotten Tomatoes score is indicative of its quality, which continues to rise with every season that passes. Even without the shocking numbers, the Netflix historical romance series has debatably only gotten better with age. Daphne and Simon’s story from Bridgerton season 1 is rather forgettable (which is probably for the best). Anthony and Kate’s enemies-to-lovers romance in season 2 was one for the ages. Then, Colin and Penelope’s ending in Bridgerton season 3 was three years in the making, and slow-burn couples are arguably among the best fictional romances.

Bridgerton season 4 has to wholly embrace Benedict’s and Sophie’s story from the book, including Sophie’s unique character arc, to be the best.

Plus, as the TV show continues, more interesting characters (like Simone Ashley’s Kate Sharma, Calam Lynch’s Theo Sharpe, and Daniel Francis’ Lord Marcus Anderson) are added to the Bridgerton cast. Many of the new characters add something different or exciting to the Netflix series. As the fictional world expands, so does Bridgerton‘s quality, and the hope is that this trend continues with the adaptation of An Offer from a Gentleman in season 4.

Although Bridgerton season 4 is set to tell Benedict’s love story, one other Bridgerton sibling might be the focus of a devastating tragedy.

What Bridgerton Season 4 Must Get Right About An Offer From A Gentleman

In order to be the best, Bridgerton season 4 needs to successfully adapt Benedict’s book, An Offer from a Gentleman. To be successful, the episodes must perfectly capture the essence of Benedict and Sophie’s rags-to-riches love story, and Yerin Ha, who plays Sophie, has to excel in her role. The prosperity of Bridgerton seasons is partly contributed to how the central love interest is received, which is why seasons 2 and 3 were so good. Sophie is such a beloved Bridgerton spouse in the books. Consequently, a lot is riding on Ha to embody her role as Sophie accurately.

Of course, season 4 must also include various memorable scenes from An Offer from a Gentleman. As teased during the Bridgerton season 3 finale, the upcoming episodes should (and will) feature the iconic masquerade ball where Benedict and Sophie first met. Overall, though, Bridgerton season 4 has to wholly embrace Benedict’s and Sophie’s story from the book, including Sophie’s unique character arc, to be the best.
