Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek and Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton in episode 1 of Bridgerton season 4

At a Bridgerton fan event in London last week – moderated by Queen Charlotte star Golda Rosheuvel – audiences were treated to more than a few tantalising details about the upcoming fourth season of the hit Netflix show.

Season four is set to follow the second-eldest Bridgerton son Benedict (played by Luke Thompson), and will introduce brand new characters and locations, whilst also holding up for closer inspection the familiar faces we’ve come to know and love from the series.

Who is in Bridgerton season 4?

Showrunner Jess Brownell highlighted that at the end of season three, Benedict feels that he is missing something in his life. His brothers, Anthony and Colin (played by Wicked star Jonathan Bailey and Luke Newton, respectively) are now both married, and will appear with their new families at the start of this season.

“[In this season] Colin is a wife guy”, joked Jess. “He and Penelope are both pretty happy”.

Breakout star Nicola Coughlan will also reprise her role of Penelope Bridgerton alongside Simone Ashley as Kate Bridgerton. Plus, fans will get a glimpse at both couple’s babies!
