When does 'Bridgerton' Season 4 come out?

Season 4 of "Bridgerton" will premiere on Netflix in two parts. Part 1 releases on Jan. 29, while Part 2 will drop on Feb. 26.

What will Season 4 of 'Bridgerton' be about?

Based on Julia Quinn's novels, each season of "Bridgerton" spotlights a different sibling of the Bridgerton family. Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), the marriage-evading and free-spirited second child of the regal family, is set to headline Season 4.

In the upcoming eight-episode season, audiences will watch Benedict meet and become enchanted with "a lady in silver" named Sophie at his mother's masquerade ball.

"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," Season 4's logline reads.
