Right now, Netflix revealed that Season 4 of their hit regency romance collection Bridgerton is about to observe the second-oldest brother Benedict (Luke Thompson) as he enters the wedding mart in the end. An announcement video shared by the streamer not solely reveals that Thompson’s Benedict will at long-last be taking the lead in the new season, nevertheless it additionally picks up that little nugget dropped on the finish of Season 3, and divulges that we’ll be getting a have a look at the well-known Bridgerton masked ball.

The ball may not be “well-known” per se to followers of the present, since we have but to see it onscreen, regardless of Eloise (Claudia Jesse) suggesting that that is one thing Girl Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) has hosted earlier than. However for followers of the guide, the masquerade ball is a key second within the story of Benedict Bridgerton. It is at that ball the place he first meets Sophie Beckett, the girl who will finally turn into the love of his life, however who stays a thriller to him for years — it’s a masked ball, in any case.

Whereas Netflix has but to verify that Sophie Beckett will seem in Season 4, a post on TUDUM offers followers motive to hope, because the article asserting Benedict’s main man function within the new season reads, “[T]he man who as soon as mooed from the nook of the ballroom is about to be the focus of the wedding mart as he searches for a mysterious lady known as the Girl in Silver.” Again in June, Collider completely revealed that casting was underway for a character named “Emily” to look in Season 4.

Season 3 ended with Francesca (Hannah Dodd) off to Scotland together with her new husband John Stirling (Victor Alli). Becoming a member of them on their journey up north is Eloise, in addition to John’s cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza).

Michaela’s presence could be very telling for guide followers, who know that Francesca’s relationship with John is minimize tragically brief.

In the meantime, Eloise’s guide sees her run away to the house of Sir Phillip Crane (Chris Fulton) after the demise of his spouse Marina (Ruby Barker), however the present’s determination to as an alternative ship her to Scotland together with her sister appears to recommend main adjustments are coming to her story. Whereas none of this has been confirmed, after all, it totally potential Season 4 of Bridgerton may also set these plot threads in movement.
