The B in Benedict is for bisexual person .

Dearest gentle reader, it appears I’ve barely recovered from the shock and delight ofBridgertonSeason 3, but Season 4 is on its way.

Here are all the morsels of gossip we know about the new season, courtesy of this humble author:

1.IT’S BENEDICT TIME. Season 4 will focus on the love story of the second son of the Bridgerton family, the sweet, artistic, and dreamy Benedict Bridgerton.

It has been brought to this author ’s attention that perhaps it is time to unmask the newest suer of the marriage mart … Benedict Bridgerton ’s story is coming next season.pic.twitter.com/rn2bGOERdm

Bridgertonshowrunner Jess Brownell saidthere were hintsas to who would be next in the Season 3 conclusion , and based on those wind , it seemed most likely that time of year 4 will be about Benedict . And now it ’s confirm !

It stands to reason that the time of year will be based on   Benedict ’s novelAn Offer from a Gentleman ,   the third book in theBridgertonseries . The writers have shown us not to expect a extremely strict adaptation of the Holy Writ , but the major constituent of the tale should remain basically the same .

2.As for this captivating Lady in Silver, aka Sophie, she’ll be played by new cast member Yerin Ha.

3.Sophie Baek will meet Benedict at a masquerade ball that she attends in disguise. If you haven’t guessed by now, this season will follow the ✨Cinderella story✨ trope.

Dearest Gentle Reader , as preparation for the next societal season are almost underway , we request a strong welcome to the Modern extremity of the Ton … .Presenting Yerin Ha as Sophie in Bridgerton Season 4!pic.twitter.com / aZBVZuZ714

Yerin and Luke Thompsonhave been rehearsingtheir terpsichore steps , so we can expect to see them lighting up the floor in Episode 1 of the newfangled time of year .

Sophie ’s last name has also been shift from Beckett , as it is in the Koran , to Baek , so as to contemplate Yerin ’s Korean background . She got to pick Sophie ’s last name at the request of showrunner Jess Brownell .

4.Filming for the new season started mid-September 2024 and will likely go until May 2025. Netflix announced the joyous news by giving us our first look at the new leads.

5.Alsojoining the castas Sophie’s step-family are Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gun, Michelle Mao as Rosamund Li, and Isabella Wei as Posy Li.

6.Here’s who else we can expect to see in the fourth season SO FAR:

7.You may have noticed a glaring, unexpected absence on that list. But before the #Kanthony girlies get woozy and suffer a fainting spell, Simone Ashley hasn’t been written off the show.

8.As for the stars of Season 3, we can expect Penelope and Colin to return and be in their happily-ever-after era.

9.While #Polin will step back into the ensemble as is tradition for previous leads, Penelope’s now public identity as Lady Whistledown will be explored further.

10.The show hasn’t been renewed past Season 4 yet, but the creative team is hopeful that they’ll get to do eight seasons forall eight Bridgerton siblings.

11.We can probably anticipate another two-year wait between seasons, so don’t expect Season 4 until 2026.

12.Even though Nicola Coughlan appeared to take over the Lady Whistledown voiceover duties from Julie Andrews in the Season 3 finale, the legendary Juliewill continue lending her voice to the show.

13.But back to Benedict, whose sexual fluiditywill continue to be exploredfurther now that he is the new leading man.

14.As for Eloise, she still has a bit more life to experience before she has her love story.

15.The potentially complicated dynamic between Francesca, John, and Michaela will keep developing in Season 4 as well.

16.Violet and Marcus Andersonwill keep simmeringtheir slow-burn romance.

17.And finally, after three seasons as prominent supporting characters, the Featherington sisters and their adorable husbands may have minimal appearances from now on.
