Get ready to return to Regency-era London. “Bridgerton” is back for Season 4, and this time it’s Benedict Bridgerton’s (Luke Thompson) turn to find love. Despite his reputation as an eternal bachelor, Benedict is captivated by a woman he spots at the masquerade ball: the Lady in Silver. But beneath the bejeweled mask is Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), a maid — not a member of high society.
The Netflix series, inspired by Julia Quinn’s “Bridgerton” book series, first premiered in 2020 to rave reviews, quickly becoming a steamy, fan-favorite hit for the streamer. Since then, audiences have watched the show with baited breath as the Bridgerton siblings attempt to find love. The fourth season will premiere in two parts, the first on Jan. 29 and the second on Feb. 26.
A long list of beloved cast members are back for the fourth season, including Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton, Simone Ashley as Kate Bridgerton, Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Bridgerton and many more.
Here’s a guide to all the stars of “Bridgerton” Season 4.
