Bridgerton&nbsp;Season 4: What Will Season 4 Be About?

The new season pivots to Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), the family&rsquo;s bohemian second son. The plot&mdash;loosely inspired by Julia Quinn&rsquo;s novel&nbsp;An Offer From a Gentleman&mdash;introduces Benedict to a mysterious masked woman at Violet Bridgerton&rsquo;s masquerade ball. That woman is Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha. A classic &ldquo;Cinderella-style&rdquo; romance with modern twists, their story will explore questions of identity, class divides, and the allure of forbidden love. Showrunner Jess Brownell notes that Season 4 will spotlight the &ldquo;upstairs/downstairs&rdquo; politics of Regency society more directly by bringing the working-class experience into sharper focus than ever before.
Early teasers highlight a dazzling masquerade and Benedict&rsquo;s encounter with a mysterious &ldquo;Lady in Silver.&rdquo; Fans are already calling the pairing of Benedict and Sophie &ldquo;Benophie,&rdquo; as they get ready for the next great&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/bridgerton-fashion-trend-regencycore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bridgerton</a>&nbsp;romance.

<h2>Bridgerton&nbsp;Season 4: When Will It Air?</h2>

Unfortunately, viewers will have to wait a while to watch another heart-stopping dance scene set to a pop-string cover. While an official date has not been confirmed, showrunner Jess Brownell told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/bridgerton-season-4-jess-brownell-nicola-coughlan-uk-premiere-1235921379/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>&nbsp;that Season 4 will not grace our screens until 2026. &ldquo;We are working to try and put the seasons out more quickly, but they do take eight months to film and then they have to be edited, and then they have to be dubbed into every language,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;And the writing takes a very long time as well, so we&rsquo;re kind of on a two-year pace, we&rsquo;re trying to speed up, but somewhere in that range.&rdquo; However, Brownell maintained that Season 4 contains her &ldquo;best work,&rdquo; and she is elated for fans to see it come to life.
