Season 4 shifts its spotlight to Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), the second son of the Bridgerton family. As Netflix’s official logline reveals, Benedict struggles with the idea of settling down, despite his brothers’ marriages. However, his perspective changes when he meets the mysterious Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball. Thompson described the storyline as a “twist on Cinderella,” blending romance, magic, and relatability.
