Bridgerton season 4 returns… and so does yearning

Netflix has released the Bridgerton season 4 trailer, and it’s safe to say the ton has lost its collective composure.

Released earlier this week, the teaser has already sent us into a frenzy, racking up 3.6 million views on YouTube alone. Lavish ballrooms, stolen glances and a familiar orchestral pop soundtrack all feature heavily, reminding us exactly why the regency drama remains one of Netflix’s biggest shows.

The slow-burn tension between Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton in season 2 became a widespread phenomenon, turning stolen glances and barely there touches to pop-culture moments. Rather than relying on grand declarations of love, the show leaned into conversations that lingered too long, arguments charged with unspoken desire and a romance built almost entirely on what couldn’t happen. In a genre often saturated with excess, that choice felt electric. Anthony Bridgerton became the very definition of yearning.

This legacy looms large as the Season 4 trailer drops and promises a fresh chapter for the Bridgerton universe, teasing new love interests, heightened tensions and if the trailer is anything to go by, even more scandal than before.

To capture the immediate fan response, we’ve shared a reaction video across our social media platforms showing first watch reactions. And if the trailer is anything to go by, the ton is about to become more scandalised than ever.
