Netflix has finally unveiled the trailer for Bridgerton Season 4, offering the first enchanting glimpse of Benedict Bridgerton’s long-awaited love story. Set to premiere on January 29, the upcoming season shifts the spotlight to Benedict and newcomer Sophie, delivering a magical, Cinderella-inspired romance that fans have been anticipating for years.
Bridgerton Season 4 Trailer Breakdown
The newly released 2-minute-32-second trailer opens inside a glittering masque ball, where Luke Thompson’s Benedict Bridgerton crosses paths with Yerin Ha’s Sophie for the very first time. Their meeting—bathed in candlelight, silver masks, and swirling music—instantly evokes a classic Cinderella moment. Sparks fly the moment their eyes meet, setting the tone for the season’s central romance.
Showrunner Jess Brownell told Netflix Tudum that this ball sequence is designed to feel dreamlike, blurring the line between fantasy and reality and launching Benedict’s romantic arc for the season.
Benedict and Sophie’s Story in Season 4
Season 4 draws inspiration from “An Offer from a Gentleman,” the third book in Julia Quinn’s bestselling Bridgerton series. While previous seasons focused on Daphne and Simon, Anthony and Kate, and Penelope and Colin, Benedict was often seen pursuing art, bohemian freedoms, and unconventional encounters.
This season finally places him front and center.
According to Thompson, Benedict’s story has been teased subtly throughout past seasons. Now, the new chapters will allow viewers to spend a full eight episodes exploring his emotional depth, artistic spirit, and search for true love.
