Bridgerton season four is based on Julia Quinn’s third book in the book series, An Offer from a Gentleman, and focuses on Benedict Bridgerton trying to find a mysterious woman who he met at his mom's masquerade ball—all while falling for Sophie, a maid who he doesn't realize is the woman in question. (In other words, this is a Cinderella story.)
"This season is a very different trajectory," showrunner Jess Brownell told Tudum. "Benedict lives in a fantasy world. Sophie lives in a hard reality. You have two characters who are at opposite ends of a pole, and rather than either of them needing to get all the way to the other side, they both need to travel to the middle. Between fantasy and reality, true love lies in the middle — neither one creates the circumstances for romance to bloom. You have to embrace a little bit of both."
