Ahead of its release in 2026, Netflix has teased fans of Bridgerton with the first official poster from its upcoming fourth season, introducing Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek, dressed in a silver-white gown and holding a mask behind her back.
"One thing is certain, gentle readers, a masquerade is like no other event. Prepare yourselves, for anything can happen. Bridgerton season 4 shall debut in 2026," the makers captioned the post.
Each season of Bridgerton focuses on a different member of the Bridgerton family, and each new lead brings a fresh dynamic to the beloved period series. While the first season, released in 2020, centred on Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Rege-Jean Page), the second season revolved around Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). The third season, released on the streamer last year in two parts between May and June 2024, focused on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).
Season 4, comprising of eight episodes, will shift its focus to Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), the bohemian second son of the Bridgerton family. Despite seeing both his older and younger brothers happily married, Benedict remains reluctant to settle down. However, his world changes when he meets the mysterious Lady in Silver at his mother's masquerade ball, sparking a romance that promises to be full of intrigue. The story will be based on Julia Quinn's third Bridgerton novel titled, An Offer From a Gentleman.
Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek is a young maid serving the formidable Lady Araminta Gun (Katie Leung). The upcoming season, wrapped filming in June. The new cast members include Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gun (Sophie’s stepmother), Michelle Mao and Isabella Wei as Sophie’s stepsisters Rosamund and Posy Li. The returning members include Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, Jonathan Bailey, Adjoa Andoh, Golda Rosheuvel, Simone Ashley, Florence Hunt, and Claudia Jessie. Julie Andrews returns to voice the role of Lady Whistledown whose identity as Penelope Featherington was revealed in the previous season.
The premiere date for Bridgerton season 4 is yet to be announced. Meanwhile, the streamer had recently renewed the beloved Regency-era series for Seasons 5 and 6.
