Season 4 of the Shonda Rhimes-created hit period drama, which is set to focus on second son Benedict (played by Luke Thompson), will return on Netflix with Part 1 on 29th January, followed by Part 2 on 26th February, with each part comprising four episodes.
Alongside the release date news, a brief teaser was also released, in which Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews) can be heard asking: “Do we rise to the occasion or do we bury oneself deeper amidst society’s secrets? As always, time – and this author – will tell.”
Watch the teaser below:

Many fans had expected Benedict's love story, which is the focus of the third Bridgerton novel, to take centre stage in season 3 but, in a big twist, the third season stepped away from the order of the original novels, with Benedict’s love story being swapped out for Colin’s (Luke Newton), which takes centre stage in the fourth book, Romancing Mr Bridgerton.
But now Benedict will take centre stage in season 4, with the official synopsis teasing that "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".
The lady in question is Sophie (Yerin Ha), who is shown in the latest trailer as she catches Benedict's eye.

Alongside Thompson and Ha, season 4 is expected to feature plenty of returning series regulars including Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington), Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton), Victor Alli (Lord John Stirling), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Lorraine Ashbourne (Mrs. Varley), Masali Baduza (Michaela Stirling), Hannah Dodd (Francesca Stirling), Daniel Francis (Lord Marcus Anderson) and Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton).
Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton), Martins Imhangbe (Will Mondrich) and Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton) are also expected to return, alongside Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Will Tilston (Gregory Bridgerton), Polly Walker (Portia Featherington), Emma Naomi (Alice Mondrich) and Hugh Sachs (Brimsley).
