As usual, Bridgerton Season 4 Part 1 is now streaming on Netflix from January 29, 2026. Part 1 has four episodes: The Waltz (1 hour 3 minutes), Time Transfixed (1 hour 5 minutes), The Field Next to the Other Road (1 hour 10 minutes), and An Offer From a Gentleman (1 hour 3 minutes).
Bridgerton Season 4 (Part 1) focuses on the "Cinderella-esque" love story of the free-spirited Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). Based on Julia Quinn’s An Offer from a Gentleman, the season follows Benedict’s obsession with a mysterious "Lady in Silver" he meets at his mother's masquerade ball. However, he is unaware that she is actually Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), a maid forced into service by a demanding stepmother.
The season begins with a lavish, Midsummer Night's Dream-inspired ball where Benedict meets a mysterious woman dressed in silver. Benedict becomes obsessed with finding the "Lady in Silver." At the same time, he encounters Sophie Beck, a skilled maid who works for the powerful Lady Arminta Gunn, but does not realise that she is the same woman.
The story deeply explores the conflict between high society and the working class, where Sophie lives her life as a slave, and Benedict falls in love with her. The first four episodes include a "water-based" romantic scene and build up to a pivotal "offer" that challenges their social standing.
Meanwhile, showrunner Jess Brownell noted that Benedict lives in a "fantasy" world, while Sophie lives in a "hard reality," with the season focusing on their journey to meet in the middle. This season blends the magical, romantic "Cinderella" narrative with the rough, realistic challenges of Regency-era social mores.
