Netflix has dropped two tantalizing new photos from “Bridgerton” season 4, giving fans a sneak peek at the upcoming romance, drama, and family feuds. The Regency-era hit is set to focus on the unlikely love story of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and his free-spirited love interest Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). While the new images hint at a heartfelt reunion between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia James), they also tease a seemingly frosty encounter involving Sophie’s complicated family.Â
Benedict and Sophie’s Family’s Face-Off in ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4
NetflixOne of the latest “Bridgerton” photos sets the stage for a classic clash of clans. The image, courtesy of Netflix, shows Benedict, the bohemian second son, seemingly introducing Sophie to his sisters, Eloise and Hyacinth (Florence Hunt).
It appears the introduction takes place during a polite house call. But the real tension lies with Sophie’s stepsisters, Rosamund Li (Michelle Mao) and Posy Li (Isabella Wei), the daughters of her stern stepmother, Lady Araminta Gun (Katie Leung).Â
The expressions on Eloise and Hyacinthâs faces suggest theyâre not exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Now, fans are asking — could this be the start of some deliciously petty bad blood?
Season 4âs synopsis teases Benedict meeting his âLady in Silverâ at a masquerade ball, but it seems integrating her into the Bridgerton fold wonât be all waltzes and tea parties.
Penelope and Eloise Rekindle Their Bond
NetflixFor fans still reeling from season 3, the second photo of Penelope and Eloise should bring a smile to their face. Once estranged over Penelope’s Lady Whistledown secret, they are now back together and beaming.
After a season of icy silence and a tearful reconciliation, their smiles make it seem like their friendship is stronger than ever.
“They’re more bonded than ever! Their trials and tribulations last season have added new depth to their friendship, and we’re excited for viewers to see how their relationship looks now that they’ve each grown up a little,” showrunner Jess Brownell told Entertainment Weekly.
With Penelope unmasked as the gossip queen and still penning her column (voiced by Julie Andrews), this reunion of besties hints at a united front.
‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Has Fresh Faces and Familiar Favorites
Season 4 isnât just about Benedictâs love story. It will also be expanding the “Bridgerton” universe with new and returning players. Yerin Haâs Sophie is bringing a Cinderella-esque vibe, complicated by her stepfamily. While Masali Baduza (Michaela Stirling) and Hugh Sachs (Brimsley) step up as series regulars.
Fan-favorites like Jonathan Bailey (Anthony), Simone Ashley (Kate), Luke Newton (Colin), and Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury) are confirmed to return, though Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Regé-Jean Page) remain off-screen for now.
The season will dive into Benedictâs reluctance to settle down, only to be swept off his feet at Violet Bridgertonâs (Ruth Gemmell) masquerade ball. With season 4 filming underway, these photos are likely just the start of the romance and intrigue awaiting fans.
The first three seasons of “Bridgerton” are available on Netflix.
