Benedict Bridgerton is officially settling down in ‘Bridgerton’ season 4

Our questions have been answered, Benedict is officially being welcomed to the marriage mart in season 4 of Bridgerton.

If we follow the order of Julia Quinn's Bridgerton novels, as all seasons so far have, season 3 of Bridgerton should have been Benedict's season where he finds love. The tallest Bridgerton brother with his chestnut hair and Bambi brown eyes, (not to mention his artistic skills) have all the women in Bridgerton wanting to be painted by him. He is quite the fan favourite. So, we weren't surprised that some fans were wondering if he will ever get his season and find the love of his life?

Below, we tell you everything there is to know about Benedict Bridgerton and his love story in season 4.

 

Will Benedict Bridgerton have his season?

Yes, it is official, Benedict Bridgerton will be settling down in season 4 Bridgerton as confirmed by Netflix. Jess Brownell, Brigderton's show runner in conversation with Variety on why Benedicts season got pushed to season 4; “We’ve been watching Pen’s crush and seeing how oblivious Colin is to it. That’s a dynamic that you can only play out for so long before something has to change. This really felt like the right time to lean into what’s been set up with them.”

Brownell expressed that for  season 3, Benedict is "a fun character and such a fan favourite that we are really excited to play with him for a little bit more and let him have more fun before he settles down." in the upcoming season 4.

If you haven't read the book that's ok, but we are about to share a spoiler, so proceed with caution.

If the storyline follows the novels, we can expect to see Benedict, played by Luke Thompson, falling in love with Sophie Beckett, the illegitimate daughter of an earl, made to become a servant by her stepmother. They first meet at a ball his dear mama hosted, but when the clock strikes midnight she flees the scene and is never to be seen, to Benedict's dismay. Until, two years later when Sophie was rescued by Benedict from a terrible situation, and a few weeks later she is appointed as the Bridgerton girl's Lady maid. In such close proximities, you would think they might just fall in love... quite the Cinderella story.
