Who Is Season 4 Of Bridgerton About?

Netflix’s Bridgerton is based on a series of novels by Julia Quinn, with each book centered around one of the eight Bridgerton children.

Seasons one and two kept to the anthology of the texts, telling the tales of Daphne and Anthony. However, the streamer deviated from this for season three, opting to focus on Colin and his romance with Penelope Featherington, rather than his older brother Benedict.However, Netflix has now confirmed that season four of the show will indeed skip back to focus on Benedict . The streaming giant broke the news via Instagram, which ended in a hint to the original novels, where Benedict falls in love with a mystery woman at a masquerade ball.

Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington, told The Wrap that she and Luke Newton, aka Colin Bridgerton, will both reprise their roles in the next season.

It’s safe to assume that Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte) and Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton) will return. Those who play the younger Bridgerton children will likely also be back, as they are yet to have their dedicated season. This means we can expect more of the delightful Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Hannah Dodd (Francesca Bridgerton) and Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton).
But what about Julie Andrews, who had the role of the narrator, aka Lady Whistledown, thus far?

In the season three finale, Penelope finally reveals to the ‘Ton that she has been leading a double life.
