Netflix has officially released the first trailer for Bridgerton season four, volume one, and fans are already counting the days. The upcoming season promises romance, longing, and emotional depth, all wrapped in the show’s signature Regency era elegance.
Season four shifts the spotlight to Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson. His story follows a Cinderella inspired romance with Sophie Baek, portrayed by Yerin Ha. The trailer offers a glimpse into their connection, filled with quiet moments, unspoken feelings, and visual charm that instantly resonated with viewers.

One viewer highlighted a moment where Benedict teaches Sophie how to dance, calling it deeply romantic. Another fan pointed out the kite scene, describing it as sweet and heartwarming.
A particular line spoken by Sophie Beckett stood out to many viewers. She reflects on the idea that Benedict is searching for a woman who does not truly exist, referencing the mysterious lady in the silver gown. Fans described this moment as powerful and emotionally gripping, saying it perfectly captured themes of yearning, inner struggle, and self denial.
Others admitted they tried to keep expectations low but failed after watching the trailer. Many said they wanted the season to release immediately, calling the preview one of the strongest trailers the series has delivered so far.
Alongside the central love story, season four brings back several familiar faces. Jonathan Bailey returns as Anthony Bridgerton, with Simone Ashley as Kate. Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton reprise their roles as Penelope and Colin, while Hannah Dodd, Claudia Jessie, and Adjoa Andoh also return as Francesca, Eloise, and Lady Danbury.
The new season will also introduce fresh characters. Masali Bduza joins the cast as Michaela Stirling, and Katie Leung appears as Lady Araminta Gun. Their addition hints at new storylines that will add depth and intrigue to the Bridgerton universe.
