Bridgerton Season 4 Already Has Some Exciting News
Stop what you’re doing – the lead for Bridgerton Season 4 has just been announced, and it’s none other than the most eligible Bridgerton brother, Benedict.
Played by Luke Thompson, Benedict Bridgerton will be the next in line to begin his pursuit of one true love, and we absolutely cannot wait for it. While it seems like Bridgerton Season 3 has only just ended, we’re only too happy to dive back into Bridgerton-fandom once again.
What do we know about Bridgerton Season 4?
Keeping with the show’s love for suspense and (long lingering stares), there’s not a lot of information out there yet. But it has been confirmed that Season 4 will see Thompson take on a well-deserved leading man role. The second son in the Bridgerton family, Benedict is set to become captivated by a “lady in silver” at his mother’s masquerade ball – because as we know, all the most important things happen at balls. There will be eight episodes in this season, led by showrunner Jess Brownell, and of course, the production company Shondaland.
In the original series, written by author Julia Quinn, Benedict’s love story plays out in the third installment, An Offer From A Gentleman. In Season 3, we saw Benedict romantically entangled with the wealthy widow Lady Tilley Arnold (Hannah New), with the occasional involvement of her friend Paul, played by Lucas Aurelio. Season 3 also left us with some big moments, with Penelope being outed as Lady Whistledown and the Bridgerton family matriarch possibly falling in love again. The last episode saw Kate and Anthony deciding to travel to India for the birth of their first child, and Colin and Penelope enjoying their happily ever after with a baby in tow. Colin also finally becomes a published author thanks to his memoir of the travels he couldn’t stop talking about.
There’s no more information about the cast or the release date yet, but The Hollywood Reporter has said that it’s likely to take a while – we’re talking possibly two years. While it’s a long, arduous wait for the next Bridgerton season, we recommend catching up with other shows on the same line – either go ahead and binge-watch the first three seasons or give My Lady Jane a watch. Taking a page out of Bridgerton’s book, this one’s also got plenty of romance in it with some supernatural elements entwined in the mix as well.
That’s all we know, but we’ll update this space as soon as we know more. For now, we can’t wait to see how Benedict will navigate the marriage mart.
