Because this week couldn’t get crazier, the people working on Netflix ’s Bridgerton decided to capitalize on everyone being online all at once and disrupt the timeline with a short video proclaiming Season 4 of Bridgerton to be “Benedict’s Season.” The people are excited. Here’s what we can possibly expect, based on info from the showrunners and the book by Julia Quinn, An Offer from a Gentleman.
Last season, we saw Benedict finally accepting his bisexuality, engaging in what seemed like a multi-day threesome—which was probably just bad editing. He says he shows no interest in settling down. Meanwhile, his sister Eloise has run off to Scotland to ruin her sister Francesca’s honeymoon, but she promises she’ll be back for their mother’s masquerade ball.
What masquerade ball? There hasn’t yet been a masquerade ball on Bridgerton. Apparently Violet throws intermittent masquerade balls for the Ton and apparently, it’s time to don the mask. If you’re a reader of the source material, you know that the third book in the eight-book installment, An Offer from a Gentleman is Benedict’s book.
The fourth, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, is Polin’s season. So we know we’re going out of order, and do keep that in mind if you’re feeling like everything needs to be the same as in the books.
It won’t! There’s gay people now! In the book, we open on a masquerade ball and Benedict sees a beautiful lady in silver who turns out to be Sophie Beckett, who has dressed .
