Guys, stay calm but Netflix has just confirmed that season four of Bridgerton will be all about Benedict!

Confirming the news on Twitter, Netflix said: “It’s official – next season is Benedict season on Bridgerton!!!” alongside a video montage of his season from season three.

The end of the video cuts to Luke Thompson opening a door to someone giving him a suit for the masquerade ball that features in his book. I am so excited!

Speaking to Tudum about being the lead in his series, Luke Thompson said: “Benedict has always been a little lost — or free depending on the way you want to look at it. But now he’s trying to find something a bit more solid in himself.”

Executive producer Shonda Rhimes appreciates Benedict’s ability to “light up” Bridgerton’s spin on Regency London. “He’s a charming man who’s trying to find his way,” she tells Tudum. “He’s very delightful and funny. I’m excited for everybody to watch him.”

The new information about the series reads: “The next season turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down. That is until an enchanting woman dubbed the Lady in Silver captures Benedict’s attention at Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball.” Eek!

Showrunner Jess Brownell is “very excited” to explore into Benedict’s upcoming love story after following his growth for three seasons. “It felt important for him to explore the fullness of himself before he settles down,” she said. “He is someone who has big appetites, and we wanted to see him living a big life before he goes into settle-down mode.”
