After months of speculating who would lead Bridgerton season 4 — Claudia Jessie's Eloise, Hannah Dodd's Francesca, or Luke Thompson's Benedict — Netflix finally announced on July 23 that the next installment of the period drama would revolve around Benedict. Here's everything you need to know about his story before we see it onscreen in season 4.
What is Benedict's storyline in Bridgerton?
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Benedict is the free-spirited, artsy Bridgerton child. He doesn't feel ready to settle down and get married, but when he falls for a mystery woman at his mother's masquerade ball, he starts to change his tune — especially when this mystery woman runs off at the strike of midnight. Now Benedict is determined to find her before anyone else can steal his heart.
Will Bridgerton season 4 be about Benedict?

Who does Benedict Bridgerton end up with?
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Benedict Bridgerton ends up with Sophie Beckett, the mystery woman from the ball. Sophie's story is very reminiscent of Cinderella; after her father's death, her stepmother forced her to become a maid in the household. Even though Sophie's now from a different social class, the Bridgertons continually defy societal expectations when it comes to their partners — and it looks like season 4 will be no different.
