Bridgerton Season 4 reveals a brand-new look at Luke Thompson's Benedict

The Bridgerton Season 4 release festivities are starting in earnest, with a little over two months left for the release. Fans have been extremely excited about the new season featuring Benedict as the leading man and his journey to finding love with Yerin Ha's Sophie Baek. The Netflix and Shondaland creation is an adaptation of the Julia Quinn novels, and the fourth season adapts Quinn's third novel of the series, titled An Offer from a Gentleman.

Not counting the accidental reveal, Netflix officially announced the release dates for the fourth season of this clan's love stories on October 13, dividing the eight-episode season into two parts. Part 1 is set to premiere on January 29, and almost a month later, Part 2 will make its debut on February 26:

"Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down when we meet him again in Season 4. That is, until an enthralling woman captures his attention at Violet Bridgerton’s (Ruth Gemmell) masquerade ball."

The recent video revealed by the streamer finds Benedict feeling anything but "loath". The radiant smile and the glimmer in Luke Thompson's Benedict's smile can only be a sign of true love. Surrounded by unending flowers, Benedict is all smiles and more as he looks on. The video is captioned:

"The start of the social season is fast approaching. Mr. Bridgerton, do you believe you are ready?"

This season of romance is truly going to be like no other. Talking about the new season, Thompson has revealed that it is set to be a twist on the age-old magical tale of Cinderella. Considering the teasers released so far have focused fairly on Sophie's silver glove, which falls, it is, in all probability, the glass shoe of the story this time around.

"The storyline is a bit of a twist on Cinderella. You remember being told those stories as a child — the magic and the romance of them. It’s really exciting to have that weaved into the world that we know of Bridgerton … It’s such a great story, but it’s also, I hope, really relatable."

Whether our very own Prince Charming, aka Benedict Bridgerton, will be able to find his love is a whole other story, which we'll have to wait until January 29 to join in.
