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.
