Bridgerton Season 4 Release Date And Time in All Regions
Bridgerton Season 4 officially premieres on Thursday, January 29, 2026, with Part 1 dropping on Netflix at 12:00 am PT / 3:00 am ET worldwide.
Netflix sticks to its usual global roll‑out, so the show arrives at the same moment everywhere, just translated into your local time zone. That’s why some of us will be half asleep on the sofa, clutching coffee, insisting “just one episode” before work.

If you’re the “schedule my life around a release” kind of viewer, it’s very much a two‑event season: late‑January binge, then a late‑February emotional clean‑up.
How Many Episodes Are in Bridgerton Season 4?
Bridgerton Season 4 has eight episodes in total, split neatly into two parts of four episodes each.
This is the same structure we’ve seen with recent big Netflix shows: give fans just enough to obsess over, then pause and let the theories and TikToks multiply before dropping the rest.
Part 1 (January 29, 2026) – Episodes 1–4:
- Episode 1 – “The Waltz”
- Episode 2 – “Time Transfixed”
- Episode 3 – “The Field Next to the Other Road”
- Episode 4 – “An Offer From a Gentleman”
Part 2 (February 26, 2026) – Episodes 5–8:
- Episode 5 – “Yes or No”
- Episode 6 – “The Passing Winter”
- Episode 7 – “The Beyond”
- Episode 8 – “Dance in the Country”
Where to Watch Bridgerton Season 4?
Bridgerton Season 4 is a Netflix original, so it’s only available to stream on Netflix’s platform worldwide. No cable channel, no alternate streamer, no random regional app; if you want Benedict and Sophie, you need a Netflix account.
Netflix offers multiple plans depending on your region, typically ranging from a basic ad‑supported tier to a more expensive plan with higher resolution and more simultaneous screens. If you’re planning a group watch, the usual drill applies:
- One person hosts the account (the noble sacrifice).
- Everyone else brings snacks and strong opinions about who’s the best Bridgerton sibling.
A small anecdote I’ve seen a lot: people who skipped Season 3 but are now returning for Season 4 purely because they love Benedict’s artsy, slightly chaotic energy from earlier seasons.
So if your Netflix account has been dormant for a while, this might be the moment you dust it off, update your password, and pretend you remember every side character from the Featherington household.
Bridgerton Season 4 Plot
Bridgerton Season 4 centers on Benedict Bridgerton and his love story with Sophie Baek, loosely adapting Julia Quinn’s “An Offer From a Gentleman” with a fresh spin for TV.
This time, the second Bridgerton son finally steps into the spotlight, and the season leans into a Cinderella‑style romance mixed with class tension, identity, and a little emotional confusion (because it wouldn’t be Bridgerton without some emotional chaos).
The season kicks off at Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball, where Benedict meets the mysterious “Lady in Silver”—a masked woman who completely disarms him.
What he doesn’t know: she’s actually Sophie Baek, a maid with a complicated family situation who’s allowed one magical night above her station.
As the story unfolds:
- Benedict becomes obsessed with finding the Lady in Silver, convinced she’s his great romance.
- Sophie quietly re‑enters his orbit as a maid, far removed from the ball’s fantasy.
- He grows attached to Sophie without realizing she’s the same woman he’s been idealizing, which creates that delicious “heart vs. fantasy vs. class” triangle—but all inside one relationship.
Thematically, Season 4 pushes harder into:
- Cross‑class romance and whether love can survive society’s rules.
- Identity and self‑worth—Sophie’s especially, as someone constantly reminded she’s “less than” in her own household.
- Benedict’s ongoing search for who he is beyond “the artistic sibling” is now forced to decide what kind of partner and man he actually wants to be.
Fans of the books will recognize major beats from “An Offer From a Gentleman,” but the show makes updates, like changing Sophie’s surname to Baek to reflect actress Yerin Ha’s Korean heritage and weaving in existing show arcs and characters from earlier seasons.
One early reaction I’ve seen from long‑time viewers is that this season feels a bit more introspective and emotionally grounded, while still keeping the lush costumes, orchestral pop covers, and that signature Shondaland slow burn.
If you’ve been waiting for Benedict’s story to finally get its full, messy, romantic spotlight, Season 4 is very much your moment, just maybe clear your calendar for January 29 and February 26, because once you’re in, it’s hard to stop at just one episode.
