Dearest gentle reader, Lady Whistledown<\/a> \u2014 voiced by Julie Andrews \u2014 is back. <\/p>\n

Netflix released a trailer for the fourth season of \u201cBridgerton<\/a>\u201d on Monday, and the Ton\u2019s resident gossip columnist promised to have all the delightful details. The teaser also revealed that the next chapter of the Regency-era romance will be released in two parts on Jan. 29 and Feb. 26. <\/p>\n

The eight-episode season will follow Benedict Bridgerton\u2019s (Luke Thompson) fairy tale-inspired romance. The beloved second-eldest sibling of the Bridgerton<\/a> brood is is known for being commitment averse and uninterested in marriage, but, if the trailer is to be trusted, it seems a masked mystery woman he brushes past on a staircase might change that. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith each passing season, one is known to experience plenty of ups and downs,\u201d Whistledown says in the teaser footage. \u201cSo then we must ask ourselves, do we rise to the occasion? As always, time \u2014 and this author \u2014 will tell.\u201d <\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to Benedict, the mystery woman, also known as the Lady in Silver, is Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). According to Netflix\u2019s in-house blog Tudum<\/a>, the staircase encounter featured in the trailer is the first time the pair cross paths during Lady Bridgerton\u2019s masquerade ball. <\/p>\n

Benedict and Sophie\u2019s romance is based on the events in \u201cAn Offer From a Gentleman,\u201d the third book in Julia Quinn\u2019s<\/a> \u201cBridgerton\u201d book series<\/a>. Much like the wicked matriarch in \u201cCinderella,\u201d Sophie\u2019s stepmother (Katie Leung) is more concerned about her two daughters\u2019 (Michelle Mao, Isabella Wei) societal debut and marriage prospects than whatever her stepdaughter is getting up to. <\/p>\n

\u201cBridgerton\u201d showrunner Jess Brownell previously told The Times<\/a> that Benedict\u2019s character arc \u201chas a lot to do with being someone who is learning how to exist between society and and being unconventional.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cBenedict [is] trying to figure out what his place is in the world and how to circumvent certain rules, which is something Tilley Arnold (Hannah New) [taught] him [in Season 3<\/a>],\u201d she said last year. \u201cI think we will continue telling the story of his [sexual] fluidity going forward.\u201d <\/p>\n

The brief \u201cBridgerton\u201d Season 4 teaser focuses solely on Benedict and Sophie. Those interested in updates about the state of Penelope\u2019s writing career or what Francesca, John and Michaela Stirling<\/a> have been up to since the end of the third season will have to keep waiting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dearest gentle reader, Lady Whistledown \u2014 voiced by Julie Andrews \u2014 is back.
