Streaming giant Netflix has surprised fans of its romantic series “Bridgerton” with a video for the upcoming 4th season. It already shows some things that are likely to be important for the new season — just like the images released shortly afterwards.
Bridgerton is a huge success for Netflix. So far, the series has spanned three seasons, and all of them are currently in the top 10 of the streaming service’s English-language series charts. For this reason, and because the original book has a lot more to offer, the fourth season of Bridgerton is already in production. In the meantime, Netflix has also released some images and a sneak peek. TECHBOOK analyzes what can be seen in them.
Sneak Peek of the new “Bridgerton” Season
The Bridgerton series centers on a namesake family embroiled in drama within the British aristocracy of the early 19th century. Each season spotlights a different Bridgerton sibling, as the widowed Viscountess Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) has eight children to see wed. Season 1, the series’ most successful to date, follows the eldest daughter, Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor), and her suitor, Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page). In season 2, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) found happiness in the person of Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). Season 3 again focused on the relationship between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlin).
In season 4, it is now the turn of the family’s second eldest son, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). Netflix first showed the actor together with his new series partner, Yerin Ha, back in September 2024. The Australian actress will play the role of Sophie Beak. In January, the streaming service followed this up with a short video. However, it was merely a behind-the-scenes clip showcasing the cast’s camaraderie. Netflix then delivered the first official video in mid-February.
What Can Be Seen in the Video for “Bridgerton” Season 4
The video primarily features a pivotal new season sequence previously teased in the season 3 finale: the masked ball. This is where Benedict meets Sophie in Bridgerton season 4. There is also a brief glimpse of a scene in which the two of them sit in front of a fireplace without masks. It remains ambiguous whether Benedict is aware that Sophie is the ‘silver lady’ from the masked ball at this juncture. In addition to the protagonist couple, there are also some other exciting details in the video.
Among other things, there is a brief image in which Penelope can be seen interacting with the Queen. Season 3 has already hinted that the two could form an alliance. This alliance seems likely necessary after Penelope’s revelation as Lady Whistledown, the author behind the infamous gossip sheet that has unmasked several society figures. How the show deals with her new role is an exciting point.
In the clip for Bridgerton season 4, we also got a glimpse of Sophie’s stepmother. She is played by Katie Leung, who is best known for her role as Cho Chang in the Harry Potter films.

Fans will be delighted to spot Jonathan Bailey, who portrays Anthony, in the clip. He and his wife Kate are likely to play at least a minor role in the new season and not simply disappear to India. These concerns stemmed primarily from Daphne actress Phoebe Dynevor’s similar departure. However, this was primarily due to the fact that her series partner, Regé-Jean Page, was no longer available for filming. After minor appearances in season 2, she did not appear at all in Bridgerton season 3.
