Bridgerton fans got their first glimpse of season four on Friday, revealing an unexpected romance between Benedict Bridgerton and a servant named Sophie Baek.
During a special event in London, showrunner Jess Brownell, alongside actors Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha, shared exclusive photos and a sneak peek video.
Brownell explained why the showrunners decided to shift focus this season, saying they spent three seasons exploring the elite world of the ton.
She added that after fully establishing the Bridgerton family’s privileged world, it felt like the perfect time to explore life downstairs.
Based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels, Bridgerton dedicates each season to a different sibling’s romantic journey, portraying their emotional struggles and personal growth.
The third season skipped Benedict’s love story and instead focused on Colin Bridgerton’s romance with Penelope Featherington, which delighted fans of the book series.
However, the upcoming season shifts the spotlight back to Benedict, showcasing how he transforms from a free-spirited nobleman to a man in love.
At his mother’s masquerade ball, Benedict becomes mesmerized by a mysterious “lady in silver,” sparking an intriguing and unconventional romantic journey.
Benedict’s Love Story Takes Center Stage in Season Four
Luke Thompson, who plays Benedict, expressed excitement over his character’s new arc, highlighting how his journey will add depth to the series.
He shared that Benedict has always had a unique musical theme, but now, it is time to compose an entire symphony around him.
Yerin Ha, who plays Sophie, emphasized how this season will introduce a new energy and dynamic, making it even more thrilling for fans.
She added that Benedict’s story will differ from his siblings’ as it explores themes of class divide, fate, and a forbidden romance.
Queen Charlotte’s Journey in Season Four
Golda Rosheuvel, who portrays fan-favorite Queen Charlotte, also teased exciting new developments for her beloved and powerful character in the upcoming season.
When asked what’s next, she hinted at new friendships, personal challenges, and a deeper, more vulnerable side of the queen.
