Bridgerton, from Shondaland and showrunner Jess Brownell, return with a fourth season inspired by the magic of fairy tales. The bohemian Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), the family's second son, remains reluctant to settle down despite the pleas of his mother, Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell). Everything changes at the masquerade ball hosted by Violet, where Benedict finds himself captivated by a mysterious Lady in Silver. With the reluctant assistance of his sister Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), Benedict resolves to immerse himself in society in order to uncover the young woman's identity. However, the woman who has captured his heart is not a lady of the ton, but a maid named Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), who works for the formidable mistress of the house, Araminta Gun (Katie Leung).

When fate brings Benedict and Sophie together once more, he finds himself torn between his feelings for the intriguing maid and the fantasy of the Lady in Silver, unaware that they are one and the same. Will his inability to see that both women are the same person extinguish the undeniable spark between them? And can love truly conquer all, even a relationship forbidden by the rigid boundaries of class?

The marriages of his siblings serve as inspiration to Benedict, including that of Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) to John Stirling (Victor Alli), and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) to Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), who now faces fresh challenges as her identity as the author of the notorious society gossip column becomes public knowledge.
