“You simply must marry. You just haven’t met the right young lady,” Benedict Bridgerton‘s mother Violet admonishes him in the trailer for season 4 of Netflix’s “Bridgerton.”
But he might disagree after he meets the fetching Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha, unleashing a captivating romance.
Part one of season four of the popular period series arrives Jan. 29 on Netflix, while part two premieres on Feb. 26.
In season 3, childhood pals Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton finally get together when their friendship turns into love and marriage. But until his masked ball encounter with Sophie, Colin’s brother Benedict is more focused on painting and various dalliances — “he’s a rake,” as his sisters say in the trailer.
Those who have read Julia Quinn’s third “Bridgerton” book, “An Offer From a Gentleman,” will recognize key scenes from the book, as this season is said to be one of the most faithful to the series.
Even Violet’s Joan of Arc costume for the masquerade ball is inspired by her look in “An Offer From a Gentleman.” When Benedict first meets the masked Sophie, he finds her immediately captivating, but then he must uncover the identity of Lady in Silver, who he calls “the most intriguing person he’s ever met.” Also straight from the book is the famous Lake Scene, in which Sophie encounters Benedict while he’s taking a skinny dip.
“With a little imagination, the impossible seems possible,” says the trailer’s narrator, just as Benedict is told by Violet, “It is all very well to dream, but life is meant to be lived.”
