Season 4, revealing a captivating, Cinderella-inspired love story centered on the bohemian second son, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). The new season promises mystery, longing, and a romance that defies the ton's rigid class expectations.

A Masquerade Ball, a Mysterious Maid, and True Love
The trailer sets the stage at Lady Violet Bridgerton's highly anticipated masquerade ball, where Benedict encounters a mysterious young woman behind a shimmering silver mask. The chemistry is instant, but in true fairytale fashion, she vanishes at midnight, leaving only a single glove behind as a clue to her identity.
Unbeknownst to Benedict, the woman is Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), a resourceful maid working for the formidable Lady Araminta Gun. The season, adapted from Julia Quinn's third novel An Offer From a Gentleman, focuses on Benedict's quest to find his "Lady in Silver," unaware she is the same person as the maid he is growing fond of. The trailer promises a season full of "juicy conflict" as Benedict wrestles with affection for a woman outside his social standing.
What the Trailer Teases
Benedict's Focus: The trailer emphasizes Benedict's move from "rake" to a man in earnest pursuit of love, much to the delight of his mother, Violet, who urges him that "life is meant to be lived".
A New Look for the Ton: Showrunner Jess Brownell hinted at an autumnal shift in aesthetic, moving from perpetual spring pastels to warmer fall colors.
Returning Faces: Snippets in the trailer also hint at other storylines, including married life for Colin and Penelope, and Francesca's return from her honeymoon.
