Dearest gentle reader, the love story of Benedict Bridgerton is far from finished.
Netflix has released the official trailer for “Bridgerton” Season 4 Part 2, teasing the final chapter in Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie’s (Yerin Ha) romance as the fairy-tale-inspired season moves toward its finale.
The Shondaland series continues to follow bohemian second son Benedict Bridgerton, whose search for love was set in motion during Part 1 after he became entranced by a mysterious Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball. The first four episodes, which debuted Jan. 29, ended with Benedict still unaware that the woman he has been desperately searching for in society is actually Sophie Baek, a resourceful maid living under the control of the formidable Lady Araminta Gun (Katie Leung).
Part 2, which premieres Feb. 26, picks up as Benedict’s fantasy collides with reality. As his feelings for Sophie deepen, the trailer teases rising tension around class, identity and loyalty, forcing Benedict to confront whether love can truly exist outside the rigid expectations of the Ton. Sophie, meanwhile, faces growing danger as her secret edges closer to exposure.
The season also continues to track the evolving relationships of the wider Bridgerton family. Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and John Stirling (Victor Alli) settle into married life, while Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) navigate their new reality as husband and wife — complicated by Penelope’s now-public role as Lady Whistledown, voiced by Julie Andrews.
Season 4 stars Thompson, Ha, Jonathan Bailey, Alli, Adjoa Andoh, Andrews, Lorraine Ashbourne, Masali Baduza, Coughlan and Dodd, alongside series regulars Claudia Jessie, Ruth Gemmell, Golda Rosheuvel, Luke Newton, Florence Hunt, Will Tilston, Polly Walker, Hugh Sachs, Martins Imhangbe, Emma Naomi and Daniel Francis. Additional cast includes Simone Ashley, Isabella Wei, Michelle Mao and Katie Leung.
Inspired by Julia Quinn’s novels, “Bridgerton” Season 4 spans eight episodes split into two parts. The series is showrun by Jess Brownell and executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica and Chris Van Dusen.
