TV Review: New 'Bridgerton' Heroine Brings Depth to Benedict
Season 4 adapts Julia Quinn's novel featuring Benedict's romance with a maid posing as a lady, introducing an upstairs-downstairs dynamic and new characters, with eight episodes on Netflix.
- On January 29, Bridgerton returned to Netflix with Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek as the season's central romance, releasing the first four episodes before the final four arrive February 26.
- Following the franchise's pattern, Benedict's turn arrives because the Bridgerton sibling-arc structure gives each sibling a lead romance, and season four adapts Julia Quinn's third novel to center Benedict Bridgerton.
- With Eloise Bridgerton's help, Benedict meets the 'Lady in Silver' at a masked ball; her identity is revealed in episode two as Sophie Baek, a maid, while they share only two kisses.
- The cast members returned for Bridgerton Season 4 and participated in high-profile promotion, including a Paris premiere, reflecting Netflix's extensive campaign.
- By turning attention to servants, the Bridgerton series expands its scope with downstairs characters and adopts a chaster tone, while remaining a lavish Netflix adaptation of Julia Quinn's novels.
