This article contains spoilers for the Bridgerton novel, An Offer From A Gentleman.
Dearest readers, Netflix has confirmed that our very own Benedict Bridgerton, the second-eldest son and an absolute silly goose, will be taking centre stage in season four of Bridgerton.
Played by British actor Luke Thompson, fans are in for a steamy season with Benedict, who has been involved in his fair share of trysts since the start of the show. And his love interest in season four has just been revealed, with Australian actress Yerin Ha set to star as the romantic lead.
Not only that, but Netflix has just confirmed production is officially underway — with a few new faces and some returning favourites in the mix.
Here's everything you need to know about Bridgerton Season 4.
Who is the lead in Bridgerton Season 4?
Benedict Bridgerton is our leading man this time around, with fans around the world screaming "at last!" when the news was finally confirmed.
There was a small clue at the end of season three (which only fans of the books would have picked up), and it all but confirmed Benedict's season was next.
The clue was this: Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie) asked her older brother Benedict if she would see him at their mother's masquerade ball. The ball is actually where Benedict first meets his love interest.
Netflix doubled down on the masquerade theme when they confirmed Benedict's season in July, as they released a reel of actor being offered a suit for the impending ball.
