Netflix Announces Who'll Be Looking for Love in Bridgerton Season 4

And the big winner is… Benedict!

Netflix drops a bomb on the planet Bridgerton. Enough to bring a smile back to the faces of fans of the series, who have been upset since they were told that the next season would not arrive before 2026. After Daphnee and the Duke (season 1), Anthony and Kate (season 2) and “Polin”as fans like to call the couple formed by Colin and Penelope (season 3), it's Benedict's turn to find true love in season 4!

The balance swung between the younger brother of the most exclusive family in Queen Charlotte's court, and Eloise, his little sister. Very close in the series, they both experienced some twists and turns in previous seasons, which suggested that they would be next on the list. And so it is Benedict who wins the jackpot.

It is still important to note that if we follow the order established by the books, Netflix took some liberties in season 3, dedicated to the budding romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. For purists, Benedict should have come before Colin, Eloise being only in fifth position in the chronology imagined by the author Julia Quinn.

To tease this fourth season, which will not be out right away, Netflix is ​​publishing some images on X, hoping for the “welcome to the wedding market” to Benedict Bridgerton. “The mask will soon be lifted on the most thrilling union of the next season”warns the video, in which we also see Luke Thompsonwho has played Benedict since the first season of the series, with the script for season 4 in hand, accepts an invitation to a masked ball.

While no other information has been released yet – no specific release date, no official synopsis, no additional casting – those who have read the books already know that this season will be based on the meeting of Benedict and a mysterious stranger during a masked ball given in the Bridgerton mansion. Twelve strokes of midnight and a Cinderella escapade later, Luke Thompson's character can no longer find his masked sweetheart, and will search for her desperately for a good part of this new plot.

To know what Shonda Rhimes (producer) Chris Van Dusen (creator of the series) will make the character of Benedict, unfortunately we will have to wait a few years…
