Bridgerton sesaon 4 is rapidly approaching, and the newest season is bringing a story to life that officially marks the start of a new era for the Netflix hit. After three seasons of Bridgerton following regency-era couples who are well suited for one another in more ways than one, the story of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) will be different.
Bridgerton season 4’s arrival on Netflix, which will be split into two parts in the same ways Bridgerton season 3 was, is set to be a huge moment for the streaming platform. As one of Netflix’s biggest hits and as the platform’s steamiest romance series, Bridgerton is hoping to outshine heavy competition this January as it moves into its new season.
Throughout the series’ run thus far, Bridgerton has used each season to focus on one of the Bridgerton siblings. Beginning with Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) in its first season, the series followed Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) during Bridgerton season 2, and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) last year, but Benedict’s story will be a true first for the exciting Shondaland series.
Bridgerton Season 4 Will Feature Benedict Bridgerton In A Cinderella Story
Although Bridgerton season 4’s plot has long been known to those who have followed Julia Quinn’s novels, the Benedict story is one that breaks the mold for the Netflix series. While each of the Bridgerton seasons prior has featured members of regency-era society getting together, Benedict’s season will follow his romance with Sophie, a working class lady who’s snuck her way into a masquerade ball.
Who Is Benedict’s Bridgerton Season 4 Love Interest?
Benedict’s love interest throughout Bridgerton season 4, Sophie Baek, is set to be a major first for the high-society series. A maid working for another member of high-society, if the series follows along in the footsteps of the book, Sophie will be hiding a fascinating backstory.
With Benedict drawn to her and willing to give up what he needs to in order to find her after their encounter, Bridgerton season 4 will likely explore far more about Sophie than where she is in the present day. Sophie’s character, who’s able to pull rakish Benedict from his patterns, is going to be a change for the Bridgerton franchise.
Bridgerton’s Upstairs/Downstairs Romance Is A First For The Netflix Series
Although the idea of a romance moving across class lines may not be the most realistic for the regency-era, the upstairs/downstairs style love story that will play out between Benedict and Sophie is a first for Bridgerton. While there have been whispers of stories like theirs in the past, Bridgerton is diving into the deep end with Benedict and Sophie’s Cinderella story.
