Netflix has made a new announcement for Bridgeton season four, and it makes it clear that this time we will be following a new romantic lead character: Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson.
The announcement video (see below) shows some moments of the character from existing seasons of the show, such as Bridgeton season three and season two — before we switch to the actor behind the scenes.
In the next clip, an unseen voice tells him, “I hear we’re fitting you for a suit.” Thompson replies that he already has an outfit for that night, but the voice explains, “It’s not for tonight. It’s for the masked ball.” In that case, Thompson says, “come on in.”
