Earlier in February 2025, Netflix treated fans to a behind the scenes video from the set of Season 4, offering glimpses of returning favorites like Colin (Luke Newton), Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), and Queen Charlotte (Golda Roshevuel), alongside new faces including Lady Araminta Gun. The video also teased a masked ball encounter for the main couple, further building anticipation.
Speculated Plot:
It is officially confirmed that Benedict’s love story with Sophie Baek will take centre stage in Bridgerton Season 4. In the new clips, Benedict is likely to meet Sophie in a ball and will remain unaware of her identity. Luke Thompson confirmed that the new season will remind the audience of Cinderella but with a twist of Bridgerton’s world into it.
While speaking about the plot of Bridgerton Season, Luke Thompson told Netflix, “The scripts that [showrunner] Jess [Brownell] and her team have come up with are dynamite. They’re really, really, really exciting.”
“The storyline is a bit of a twist on ‘Cinderella.’ You remember being told those stories as a child — the magic and the romance of them. It’s really exciting to have that weaved into the world that we know of Bridgerton … It’s such a great story, but it’s also, I hope, really relatable,” he added.
For Season 4, the makers have decided to adapt ‘An Offer From A Gentleman’.
