Benedict Bridgerton meets a dazzling lady in silver at a masked ball. Can you say, “Cinderella story”?

Longing to slip back into the romantic world of Lady Whistledown and the breathtaking gowns, jewels and hairdos of Netflix’s Bridgerton? Season 4 is in production, and Netflix released a sneak peek to tantalize fans of life in the ‘Ton.

The sneak peek doesn’t spoil any major plotlines, but the scenes of the masquerade ball show off beautiful gowns and tantalizing masks.

The series is based on Julia Quinn’s best-selling novel series, where each of the eight Bridgerton children eventually get their chance in the romantic spotlight. Season 4 focuses on bohemian second son Benedict, played by Luke Thompson. He’s not looking to settle down, until he meets a charming lady in silver at his mother’s masquerade ball. Yerin Ha plays Sophie Baek/Beckett, the Cinderella of this storyline. And — horrors! — she’s a maid, which will help the show blend the worlds of the waited-on class and those who wait on them.

Golda Rosheuvel is seen as Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte, with Hugh Sachs as Brimsley in the background, in a scene from Bridgerton’s fourth season.

Deets about season 4

While this is the show’s fourth season, the plotline comes from Quinn’s third book, An Offer from a Gentleman. There’s no announced release date yet for the fourth season, though it seems that late 2025 is the earliest fans can hope for. Season 4 will include eight episodes, Netflix’s Tudum blog reports.

Many familiar faces are returning — and one voice, as the legendary Julie Andrews will be back as the voice of Lady Whistledown. Anthony, Kate, Penelope, Violet, Hyacinth, Eloise, Gregory, Colin, Francesca, John and Michaela will all be back, but Simon and Daphne, stars of the first season, won’t be in this season.

“What’s striking about Season 4,” Thompson tells Tudum, “is that it’s the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world. … You have to hold both of them —  the romance and the reality — in your hand. In its best version, ‘true love’ happens in the middle of that.”

How to watch Bridgerton

You’re going to need Netflix, but that’s not bad — it’s our reviewers’ top choice in a crowded streaming market. Depending on the plan you choose, Netflix costs between $8 and $25 per month. But the pricier package allows you to watch up to four screens at once and create different user profiles.

And Netflix also offers other hits, such as Stranger Things and Squid Game, so you’ll have some solid shows to choose from. And if you want more from the Bridgerton world, in addition to the first three seasons, you can tune in to Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, a prequel showing the powerful queen’s rise to power.
