Bridgerton season 4 is arguably one of the most anticipated entries from Netflix right now, and it has finally given a huge update. There was a lot of speculation surrounding the fourth season regarding who the next season of the show would feature, with many guessing Eloise (Claudia Jessie) as the frontrunner. But Netflix has confirmed that the fourth season of the show will focus on Benedict Bridgerton's story.
This has received an immensely positive reception from fans across the world, who are more than glad that out of the possible options, the show is going for this particular character played by Luke Thompson. Thomson has already established his character as one of the most loved in Bridegrton season 3, and now fans are glad they will see an entire arc of the character.
X user @hcsiequake summed up the emotion, saying:

"BEST DAY OF MY LIFE"
Many other fans had something similar to say about this development. Strikingly, all the reactions to this news were immensely positive, proving how well the show is handling its fanbase.
"But if you could speed it up! And if not, can we have a mini-season about Portia or Violet?"- another user said impatiently.
"NETFLIX, YOU MIST MAKE HASTE.. and not take two years pls and thx"- yet another fan said, asking Netflix to hurry up.
"When you want next season to be tomorrow…can’t wait!"- anotheruser noted.
The reactions also stem from Luke Thompson's portrayal of the character, which has remained top-notch up to now.
"Yay!! I’m so excited for Benedict and Sophie’s story 😀 As a Polin fan, I’m so excited for Benophie fans to have their season."- another user said.
"OH MY GODDDDDDD YALL REALLY WERE WORKING OVERTIME! WE WEREN’T FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GAME."- another user credited Netflix.
Who is Benedict Bridgerton?
Benedict Bridegrton is the second child and son of the Bridgerton family. In the novels, he is also the husband of Sophie Beckett, a story we are yet to explore in the Netflix show. He also has four children with Sophie.
As the second of the eight siblings in the family, he grew up closest to his brothers Anthony and Colin. He also shares a bond with his sister, Eloise. He studied at Eton College and later at the University of Cambridge, following in the footsteps of his brothers.
Benedict had taken a backseat in the narrative in the past two seasons, with the third season rarely featuring him. Still, Luke Thompson's character has remained a fan favorite, and it is now understandable why the character was not made a primary focus.
Sophie Beckett is yet to appear in the Netflix show, which again, leaves a lot of room for speculation amidst the huge fanbase as to who should take on this role. But the story of Sophie and Benedict remains one of the standout arcs in the original novel series by Julia Quinn.
The first three seasons of Bridgerton are now streaming on Netflix.
