The answer is a resounding yes. Netflix has officially made it clear that Bridgerton will return for a fourth season. It has also been confirmed that Season 4 will center on Benedict Bridgerton’s story, adapting Julia Quinn’s novel An Offer From a Gentleman.
This season, Benedict’s story takes a turn into the fantastical. His journey involves love and self-discovery as a bohemian younger son who wants nothing to do with marriage. As Luke Thompson, the actor playing Benedict, puts it, there is “a touch of fairy tale and a sense of reality.” The season promises plenty of action in the masquerade ball that is central to Benedict’s romantic arc.

She has indicated that she has a plan for each sibling’s story and has a vision for a long-running series.
