Filming has wrapped on season four of Bridgerton! Netflix shared a new behind-the-scenes video to social media on Friday from the set featuring several of the principal cast members entering their trailers dressed in full Regency gowns and suits, and exiting them in 21st century jeans and athleisure. The clip opens with Yerin Ha, playing the season’s new heroine, Sophie Beck, followed by the rest of the cast, concluding with this season’s hero, Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton. Albeit briefly, viewers briefly get glimpses of some of the brand new costumes from next season, such as actress Golda Rosheuvel in a marvelous and voluminous gown fitting only for Queen Charlotte. Set to orchestral music with just hellos and goodbyes from the cast, the clip concluded with “Coming 2026” on the final screen.
The clip is the first morsel the streamer has doled out to fans in awhile since revealing the official teaser of season four’s highly anticipated masquerade ball in May. That footage shows Benedict catching a glimpse of Sophie in a crowded ballroom under a glittering chandelier. “My, my… It seems as though someone has finally caught the attention of Mr. Benedict Bridgerton,” reads the caption.
The streamer also confirmed the series will return for a fifth and a sixth season. There was no further information provided, so inevitably there will be continued speculation as to which Bridgerton siblings these seasons will follow. The TV series has departed from the order of the books it is based on (season four is adapted from what was originally the third book in the series, An Offer From a Gentleman) so anything is possible, though it’s likely these two seasons will focus on Francesca and Eloise given the characters’ ages. Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Bridgerton (née Featherington) on the program, revealed a few new details about the upcoming season this past spring, saying we’ll see more of Penelope and Colin’s domestic life while Penelope also balances her life and career after Whistledown. And this being Bridgerton, there’s one thing we should always expect: “What’s coming? Lots more romance.”
Well, dear reader, the ton has something exciting to celebrate — the filming for Bridgerton Season 4 is officially wrapped!
As the cast shared hugs, laughter, and even a few bittersweet tears, fans everywhere are buzzing about what this means for the next chapter in the beloved Regency drama. Will it be Benedict’s turn to shine? Or perhaps Eloise’s rebellion reaches new heights?
