The news Bridgerton fans have been waiting for has arrived, but not in the form of a new letter from Lady Whistledown. Instead, Netflix released a short video announcing that fan-favorite Benedict (Luke Thompson) is in the spotlight in season four.
“Benedict has always been a little lost — or free depending on the way you want to look at it,” said Luke Thompson in a feature on Netflix’s Tudum. “But now he’s trying to find something a bit more solid in himself.”
Netflix’s logline for season four reads: “The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson). Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”
Who is this mysterious Lady in Silver? The answer will probably come much closer to the premiere of the eight-episode fourth season. However, Netflix hasn’t announced when the new season will arrive.
“He’s a charming man who’s trying to find his way,” said series creator Shonda Rhimes, discussing Benedict. “He’s very delightful and funny. I’m excited for everybody to watch him.”
Season three aired in two parts, beginning on May 16, 2024, and focused on #Polin: Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton. The third season starred Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington, Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton, Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton, Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton, Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte, and Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury. Ruth Gemmell starred as Violet Bridgerton, Lorraine Ashbourne as Mrs. Varley, Hannah Dodd as Francesca Bridgerton, Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma, and Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton.
Harriet Cains played Philipa Featherington, Bessie Carter as Prudence Featherington, Jessica Madsen as Cressida Cowper, Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton, Martins Imhangbe as Will Mondrich, and Will Tilston played Gregory Bridgerton. The season three ensemble also included Polly Walker as Portia Featherington, Hugh Sachs as Brimsley, Emma Naomi as Alice Mondrich, Kathryn Drysdale as Genevieve Delacroix, and Sam Phillips as Lord Debling. Julie Andrews returned as the voice of Lady Whistledown.
