NETFLIX has amped up the excitement of “Bridgerton” fans by dropping the first poster for the Regency romance series’ fourth season, which is set to premiere on its platform in 2026.
The poster featured a woman standing with her back turned, wearing a silver masquerade ball gown and holding a mask.
“Masks on, secrets out. I can already feel the drama, romance, and scandal coming our way,” Netflix Philippines said on an Instagram post.
The forthcoming season of “Bridgerton” was first announced in May, via the latest issue of Society Papers by Lady Whistledown, the anonymous writer and all-knowing narrator in the series. She also announced in the same publication that “Bridgerton” would have fifth and sixth seasons.
Created by Chris Van Dusen for Netflix, “Bridgerton” is based on the book series of the same name by American author Julia Quinn.
The series follows the eight beloved siblings of the noble and influential Bridgerton family—Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth—as they search for love and navigate societal pressures during the Regency period.
The first three seasons focused on Phoebe Dynevor’s Daphne, Jonathan Bailey’s Anthony, and Luke Newton’s Colin, respectively.
Benedict and Sophie’s fairytale
This time, the fourth season will unfold the third installment in Quinn’s “Bridgerton” book series: “An Offer from a Gentleman.”
Luke Thompson’s Benedict will take the spotlight on season four, alongside Korean-Australian actress Yerin Ha, who will portray Benedict’s love interest, Sophie Baek.
A sneak peek of “Bridgerton” season four, released in May, showed Benedict in his all-black ensemble, walking around the Bridgerton masquerade ball, while other women are trying to catch his attention. Benedict suddenly stops when he sees Sophie standing on the side and admiring a chandelier.
Many fans likened Benedict and Sophie’s love story to the classic “Cinderella” fairytale, with Netflix Tudum describing Sophie as a mysterious Lady in Silver, who, unbeknownst to Benedict, is a “resourceful maid with her own secrets and dreams.”
Further details about “Bridgerton” season four, including its exact premiere date in 2026, have yet to be announced.
