Bridgerton is officially returning — and Netflix has finally confirmed when Australian viewers can dive back into the scandalous world of the Ton.
After three wildly successful seasons, the Regency-era hit is back with season four, this time shifting its focus to Benedict Bridgerton, the family’s artistic and rebellious second son. From the release schedule to the romance at the heart of the season, here’s everything you need to know.
When Does Bridgerton Season 4 Come Out?
Netflix has confirmed that season four will be released in two parts:
- Part One: January 29, 2026
- Part Two: February 26, 2026
Each drop will include four episodes, making eight episodes in total for the season.
What Time Will Bridgerton Season 4 Release in Australia?
As with most Netflix originals, Bridgerton will premiere globally at the same moment — meaning Australians can watch in the early evening rather than waiting until midnight.

Here’s the exact release time for Part One across Australia:

Who Is Season 4 About?
Season four centres on Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson. Known for his bohemian lifestyle and reluctance to conform, Benedict has so far avoided romance — despite watching his siblings fall in love.
That changes when he meets Sophie Baek, portrayed by Sydney-born actor Yerin Ha, marking a major Australian connection for the series.
What Is the Plot of Bridgerton Season 4?
The upcoming season is expected to follow the storyline of Julia Quinn’s novel An Offer From a Gentleman.
Benedict becomes enchanted by a mysterious woman he meets at a lavish masquerade ball — known only as the Lady in Silver. Unbeknownst to him, she is Sophie, the illegitimate daughter of an earl who has been forced into servitude by her stepmother.
After the ball, Sophie disappears, leaving Benedict determined to uncover the identity of the woman who captured his heart. The story blends romance, class divide, and a fairytale-like twist that fans have long been waiting to see on screen.

Is There a Trailer for Bridgerton Season 4?
A full trailer has not yet been released, but Netflix has shared a short teaser offering the first glimpse of Benedict and Sophie.
The clip shows the pair passing on a staircase, their fingers briefly touching as Lady Whistledown’s voice hints at love, destiny and unanswered questions — a classic Bridgerton moment that has already sparked fan excitement.
When Was Season 4 Announced?
Netflix first confirmed season four through a Lady Whistledown-style announcement on social media, revealing that Bridgerton would return in 2026. The streamer also confirmed renewals for seasons five and six, cementing the show’s future well beyond its upcoming chapter.
Why Season 4 Is One of the Most Anticipated Yet
With Benedict finally stepping into the spotlight, a Cinderella-inspired romance, and a globally synchronised release time that suits Australian viewers, Bridgerton season four is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s biggest TV events of 2026.
Fans won’t have to wait much longer to return to the ballrooms, scandals and whispered secrets of the Ton.
