Bridgerton is ready to shift the spotlight to a new sibling. Netflix has released the first official trailer for Season Four, placing the bohemian Benedict Bridgerton at the heart of the story.
Narrated by Julie Andrews as Lady Whistledown, the trailer opens on a playful note before settling into the familiar themes of longing, romance, and opulent society gatherings. Benedict, played by Luke Thompson, resists mounting pressure from his mother, Violet Bridgerton, to marry and instead yearns for a more adventurous life.
Behind the cover of a mask, anything can happen.

That resolve falters after a chance encounter at a masquerade ball. There, Benedict meets Sophie Beck, portrayed by Yerin Ha, a young woman living in servitude who dreams of one extraordinary night beyond her social limits. Disguised for the evening, Sophie captures Benedict’s attention, only to vanish before revealing her identity.
The trailer hints at the season’s central conflict. Benedict searches relentlessly for the mysterious woman who captivated him, while Sophie fears that revealing her true status could shatter any hope of love. The story promises intense romantic tension, longing glances, and the class divide that has become a hallmark of the series.
Although it would seem even Mr. Bridgerton cannot resist the temptation of today's games, it is time to direct your attention to more…civilized matters. The trailer for Part 1 of Bridgerton Season 4 is here. pic.twitter.com/vExZ2UmBTF
