Bridgerton will be welcoming viewers back to the Ton with a two-part release this winter.
Season four of the Shonda Rhimes-created hit period drama will return on Netflix with Part 1 on Jan. 29, followed by Part 2 on Feb. 26. Each part consists of four episodes.
The brief teaser released with the news (below) asks, “Do we rise to the occasion or do we bury oneself deeper amidst society’s secrets? As always, time — and this author — will tell.”
Here’s the official logline: “The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson). 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.”
