The Full Bridgerton Season 4 Trailer: 5 Shocking Secrets Revealed About Benedict And Sophie’s Forbidden Love

Contents
The anticipation for the full *Bridgerton* Season 4 trailer has reached a fever pitch this December 2025, especially since Netflix dropped a tantalizing teaser in October. With the official two-part premiere of Season 4 scheduled for early 2026, fans are desperate for the final, extended look at Benedict Bridgerton's long-awaited romance with the mysterious Sophie Baek, a story based on the beloved "Cinderella-like" novel, *An Offer From a Gentleman*. The upcoming season promises to be the most dramatic yet, shifting the focus to the second eldest Bridgerton brother and his quest for love that transcends the rigid class structures of the Regency era. The full trailer is expected to deliver a deep dive into the complex dynamics of their forbidden love, revealing the true stakes for this beloved couple.

The Full Bridgerton Season 4 Trailer: Release Date and Premiere Schedule

The release of the full official trailer is the final major marketing beat before the highly anticipated premiere, and based on Netflix’s typical rollout strategy, its arrival is imminent.

The first official teaser trailer for Season 4 was released on October 13, 2025, confirming the lead couple and providing a brief glimpse of their first encounter at a masquerade ball.

The full, extended trailer is now expected to drop in late December 2025 or early January 2026. This timing aligns perfectly with Netflix’s pattern of releasing the final, comprehensive trailer approximately four to six weeks before the show’s premiere date.

Bridgerton Season 4 Official Release Dates

The entire season will be split into two parts, a strategy proven successful with the previous installment:

  • Part One Premiere: January 29, 2026
  • Part Two Premiere: February 26, 2026

With the production having officially wrapped filming in May/June 2025, the series is now deep in post-production and ready for its grand debut.

Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek: A Cinderella-Like Romance

The fourth season will adapt Julia Quinn’s third novel, *An Offer From a Gentleman*, centering on the artistic and free-spirited Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and his soulmate, Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha.

Their story is a captivating tale of class difference and mistaken identity, diverging sharply from the previous season's friends-to-lovers trope (Colin and Penelope).

Key Characters and Returning Cast for Season 4

The full trailer will undoubtedly feature the return of the entire Bridgerton family and key members of the ton, showcasing the intricate social web that Benedict and Sophie must navigate. The ensemble cast ensures high topical authority, weaving in the continuing stories of other fan-favorite characters.

  • Benedict Bridgerton: Luke Thompson (The Artistic Second Son)
  • Sophie Baek: Yerin Ha (The Mysterious Lady's Maid)
  • Anthony Bridgerton & Kate Bridgerton: Jonathan Bailey & Simone Ashley (The Viscount and Viscountess)
  • Lady Violet Bridgerton: Ruth Gemmell (The Matriarch)
  • Queen Charlotte: Golda Rosheuvel (The Ruler of the Ton)
  • Lady Danbury: Adjoa Andoh (The Confidante)
  • Colin Bridgerton & Penelope Featherington: Luke Newton & Nicola Coughlan (Newlyweds)
  • Francesca Bridgerton & Lord John Stirling: Hannah Dodd & Victor Alli (Their continuing storyline)

5 Shocking Secrets the Full Trailer Will Reveal

While the initial teaser gave us a fleeting look at the Masquerade Ball where Benedict and Sophie first meet, the full trailer is expected to delve into the core conflicts that define their forbidden love story. These five elements are what fans are most eager to see:

1. The Depth of Sophie’s Plight as a Lady’s Maid

In the source material, Sophie is the illegitimate daughter of an Earl who is cruelly relegated to the status of an unpaid maid by her stepmother, much like the classic Cinderella story. The full trailer must establish the stark class difference and the emotional vulnerability of Sophie Baek, highlighting the immense risk she takes by attending the ball and encountering Benedict. This class struggle is central to the season’s forbidden love theme.

2. The Masquerade Ball Reveal and Its Aftermath

The teaser briefly showed Benedict brushing up against Sophie at the masquerade, where she is disguised and he is instantly captivated. The full trailer is expected to show the dramatic moment she flees, leaving Benedict obsessed with finding his "mystery woman" for two years. This "love at first sight" dynamic will be a major selling point in the final trailer.

3. The Introduction of the New Antagonist

Every *Bridgerton* season needs a formidable obstacle. For Benedict and Sophie, this is often the cruel stepmother, Lady Araminta Gunningworth, and Sophie's stepsisters. The full trailer should introduce a new, formidable antagonist who actively works to keep the couple apart, perhaps a rival for Benedict’s affections or a figure who threatens to expose Sophie’s true identity.

4. Benedict’s Bohemian Lifestyle and Artistic Growth

Benedict has always been the most bohemian of the Bridgerton siblings, often prioritizing his art over social obligations. The full trailer will likely showcase his life at the Royal Academy of Arts and how his pursuit of art mirrors his unconventional pursuit of love. His internal conflict between his duty as a Bridgerton and his desire for an artist's muse will be a key emotional beat.

5. The First Hint of Lady Whistledown’s Involvement

The full trailer will need to address the fallout from Season 3, where Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington finally found their happy ending. While Benedict’s story is the main focus, the trailer is likely to feature a voiceover from Lady Whistledown (Penelope) that sets the tone for the new season. It may even hint at how the scandal of a Bridgerton falling for a lady's maid could be the juiciest gossip the ton has seen, adding immense external pressure to their romance.

Why Season 4’s Full Trailer Will Be the Most Talked About

The *Bridgerton* franchise has successfully built topical authority by delving into the unique struggles of each sibling. Season 4, with its Cinderella-like premise and themes of forbidden love and class difference, promises a return to the high-stakes drama that defined the first season.

The full trailer, when it finally drops, will be the definitive proof that the creative team, led by showrunner Jess Brownell, has successfully translated the beloved novel *An Offer From a Gentleman* to the screen.

Fans should keep a close watch on all official Netflix and Shondaland social media channels throughout late December and early January. The final, extended look at Benedict and Sophie's romance is the last puzzle piece before the January 29, 2026 premiere, and it is guaranteed to be a spectacular, swoon-worthy affair that will break the internet.
