What Bridgerton season 4 is all about?

As per the official synopsis, the new season of this Shonda Rhimes-produced romance saga will “focus on bohemian second son Benedict (Thompson). Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver (Ha’s Sophie) at his mother’s masquerade ball.”

Talking about the new season during Friday's event for the show, Thompson said, “The scripts that [showrunner] Jess [Brownell] and her team have come up with are dynamite. They’re really, really, really exciting,” he says.

“The storyline is a bit of a twist on ‘Cinderella.’ You remember being told those stories as a child — the magic and the romance of them. It’s really exciting to have that weaved into the world that we know of Bridgerton … It’s such a great story, but it’s also, I hope, really relatable.”

At the same show, Jess Brownell said that Season 4 is the “most faithful” adaptation of one of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books among all previous seasons.

The new season will consist of eight episodes.
