In a statement teasing a first look at Ha and Thompson together on-set, Netflix also released a brief synopsis of the fourth season. 'The new season will focus on the second Bridgerton son, Benedict and his quest to find the mesmerising Lady in Silver, Sophie Baek,' the streaming service noted.
Per the official logline of the upcoming series, 'The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.'
Season three of Bridgerton, which was based on the fourth book in Quinn's series, Romancing Mister Bridgerton, ended with Benedict having a threesome with his new love interest Lady Tilley Arnold (Hannah New) and her friend Paul (Lucas Aurelio), after encouragement from Tilley to be more sexually adventurous. But when Tilley decided that she'd prefer to return to monogamy, Benedict ended their frisson, deciding that he's not quite ready to settle down.
'Benedict has always been a little lost — or free depending on the way you want to look at it. But now he’s trying to find something a bit more solid in himself,' Thompson told Netflix’s Tudum in July 2024 ahead of Netflix's confirmation of him as the season four lead.
