To make up for the long wait, Netflix have announced that there is a way to watch the first episode of the show early!
Here is everything we know:
What is Bridgerton Season 4 about?
Benedict girlies – the time has finally come. Sharing the announcement to social media in July 2024, Netflix confirmed that Benedict Bridgerton will be the star sibling of Bridgerton season four.
Speaking on the upcoming season, actor Luke Thompson told Netflix, “What’s striking about season four is that it’s the struggle between proper old-school fairytale – the romance of it – and the actual reality of the world, and both are true. You have to hold them both.”
“The scripts that Jess and her team have come up with are dynamite. They’re really, really, really exciting. The storyline is a bit of a twist on Cinderella… It’s really exciting to have that weaved into the world that we know of Bridgerton.”
What happened at the end of Bridgerton Season 3?

After the dramatic finale of Bridgerton season three, members of the Ton undoubtedly had many questions.
