Dearest Gentle Reader, on Love Day, Bridgerton always delivers!
Fans are clamoring for more of Netflix’s hit romance drama, and while there are still some ways to go before we tune into the series, as we know, teasing builds anticipation.
Coming off a strong season that involved the carriage-rocking love story between Colin and Lady Whistledown herself, Ms. Penelope Featherington Bridgerton, it’s time to turn our attention to the dashing Bridgerton Bachelor, Benedict.

Sophie Catches Benedict’s Eye at the Masquerade Ball
And there’s one lady who will catch his eyes and his heart, Sophie.
Fans are burning with wanting and desire for this love story, as it’s one of the most eagerly anticipated of this series, and we can trust that Luke Thomas and new addition Yerin Ha will bring it.
If there’s anything we can collectively agree upon, it’s how the Bridgerton men are dashing, and they can carry a great love story as romantic leads.
Benedict has been the rakish of the lot, losing himself in women and men of all types, seemingly wandering the world unsure if he’d ever truly find love himself.
Fortunately for him, that day is coming soon, and at one of those classic Bridgerton events that have us longing for the immersive experience of regency-era fun with modern twists and needle drops.
Yes. I may or may not have Bridgerton instrumental playlists saved on Spotify; don’t judge me, dear readers.
I am but a simple girl with eclectic taste.
Ahem, where were we?
Benedict Wil Finally Find Love in Bridgerton Season 4
For those who weren’t aware, Bridgerton Season 4 will focus on the lothario Benedict Bridgerton.
His story pulls from Julia Quinn’s book, An Offer from a Gentleman.
The third book in Quinn’s Bridgerton series focuses on Benedict meeting Sophie Beckett at his mother’s masquerade ball.
Do we have to wait until 2026 to devour eight sumptuous episodes of this Regency romance?
Yes, sadly, that will be the case, dearest friends.
The Masquerade Ball is Benophie’s Chance Meeting
However, we don’t have to wait that long to get first looks at Benedict and Sophie’s fated encounter at the Masquerade Ball.
The tension and chemistry simmer through each photo as both don masks and dance with one another.
Their chemistry and connection is undeniable.
It’s also amusing that Lady Violet will take full credit and delight in providing an event that brings one of her children to the love of his life.
We all know how she feels about these things.
Lady Violet is Still Getting Her Second-Chance Love Story
Speaking of Lady Violet, we’re delighted that her brewing connection with Lord Anderson remains in the upcoming season.
An image of the two of them together is enough to make hearts pitter-patter as the reminder that it’s never too late for one to find love again continues to inspire.
But that’s not all.
For those who fell in love with Polin during their season, there’s a special delight in seeing where they are with one another now.
From the looks of things, we will get our first look at Penelope and Colin’s bouncing baby joy.
And they have a shock of red hair, just like their mother.
Catching Up with Polin and Kanthony
Hopefully we’ll catch up with Anthony and Kate during Bridgerton Season 4 as he’s running the household, and she is as well.
Plus, they have a family of their own now.
But alas, we’re overjoyed with this sweet, mysterious treat of witnessing the early stages of Benophie’s love story as we eagerly await Bridgerton’s return.
Bridgerton Season 4 promises to be the “Season of Love.”
And that makes us wonder how much more of that four-letter word (and the other one) will Bridgerton pack into the new season.
After all, the entire series oozes love, right? That’s what the sneak peek implies.
Over to you, Bridgerton Fanatics.
Are you excited about Benophie’s love story?
What do you think of the first look?
