Bridgerton Season 4 Wraps Filming: And Now We Wait, Again

If you’ve been yearning for more scandal, corsets, and stolen glances from across ballrooms, you’re in luck. Netflix’s beloved Regency-era drama Bridgerton has officially wrapped production on Season 4, and the Ton is practically vibrating with anticipation. Yes, dear readers, the next chapter in the Bridgerton family saga is one step closer to gracing our screens — and it’s about time.

We’ll cover everything you need to know about the end of filming, what to expect from Season 4, who’s returning (and who isn’t), and when you might finally get to binge the next romantic whirlwind. Grab your teacups and tighten your stays — it’s about to get deliciously dramatic.

Bridgerton Season 4 Has Wrapped: What That Really Means

Netflix confirmed that production on Bridgerton Season 4 officially concluded in May 2025, and they weren’t shy about celebrating. On June 21, the streaming giant posted a cheeky behind-the-scenes video featuring fan favorites like Nicola Coughlan and Golda Rosheuvel ditching their ballgowns for streetwear in a delightful “that’s a wrap” montage.

Filming for Season 4 kicked off back in August 2024, so yes, it’s been a long nine months of Regency drama, candlelit glances, and perfectly sculpted sideburns. Now that filming is done, the series moves into post-production, which typically takes several months. Translation? We’re looking at a 2026 premiere, probably around spring or early summer.

Who’s Back in Season 4 of Bridgerton?

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief because the key players are all returning to the Ton. Luke Thompson is finally getting his spotlight as Benedict Bridgerton, with Season 4 adapting Julia Quinn’s third book An Offer From a Gentleman — think Cinderella vibes but with a Bridgerton twist.

Joining him is newcomer Yerin Ha as Sophie Beckett, the mysterious love interest who’s about to shake things up for the free-spirited Bridgerton brother. And yes, our beloved Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton — fresh off their slow-burn love story in Season 3 — will also make appearances, along with fan favorites Anthony and Kate Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley.

Basically, the cast list reads like Regency fanfiction written by the gods of romantic angst.

What to Expect from the Storyline

If you’ve read the books, you already know the rough plot, but Netflix is known for spicing things up. Season 4 focuses on Benedict’s journey as he falls for the elusive Sophie, a woman with a secret past and an evil stepmother straight out of every fairy tale. Expect masquerade balls, secret identities, and enough tension to shatter a thousand teacups.

But the showrunners have also hinted at more screen time for other couples, deeper storylines for supporting characters, and a continued commitment to that steamy, inclusive, feminist energy that’s made Bridgerton such a hit. Yes, more romance. Yes, more drama. Yes, more scenes that require you to fan yourself while pretending to be shocked.

Why the Long Wait Until 2026?

We hear you. Waiting until 2026 feels like being exiled from society with only a cravat and some dry tea leaves to keep you company. But production on a show like Bridgerton takes time. Between intricate costume design, lavish sets, and editing every longing glance to perfection, the post-production team has their work cut out for them.

Netflix knows this series is its crown jewel, and they’re not about to rush something this lush. So yes, you’ll have to be patient — but it’ll be worth it.

The Internet Reacts: Where’s the Rest of the Cast?

While fans were thrilled to see the wrap video, some were quick to point out that not all the main cast members appeared in the clip. Luke Newton (Colin), Jonathan Bailey (Anthony), and Simone Ashley (Kate) were notably absent, sparking panic across social media. But don’t worry — all signs point to their involvement in Season 4. Some actors just skipped the promo or wrapped their scenes earlier. No need to grab your smelling salts just yet.

The Bridgerton Hype Train Isn’t Slowing Down

Season 3 was a massive hit, dominating Netflix’s global top ten for weeks and reigniting obsession with Penelope and Colin’s love story. With each new season, the Bridgerton franchise proves it’s not just a one-season wonder. The audience is here for the long haul — swooning, theorizing, and meme-making included.

Season 4 is expected to bring the same level of spectacle and emotional payoff, with more wit, more diversity, and more of those steamy scenes we’re all pretending not to rewatch five times.

Bridgerton Season 4 Is Coming and We’re Not Calm

So here’s where we stand: Bridgerton Season 4 has finished filming, the cast is back in modern clothes (tragic), and we’re all counting down the months until the drama, romance, and scandal return in 2026.

Until then, you can rewatch Seasons 1 through 3, argue on Reddit about which sibling deserves more attention, and read the books if you haven’t already. Or, you know, pretend you’re above all that while secretly obsessing like the rest of us.
