Season four of the Shonda Rhimes-created hit period drama will return on Netflix with Part 1 on January 29, followed by Part 2 on February 26. Each part consists of four episodes. The brief teaser was posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a caption “Do we rise to the occasion or do we bury oneself deeper amidst society’s secrets? As always, time — and this author — will tell.”
“The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson). Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball,” the official logline reads.
Bridgerton Season 4 release dates
The teaser of Bridgerton Season 4 showed the second-eldest sibling, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), coming down the hallway staircase, almost brushing against the Lady in Silver.
