Bridgerton Season 4 Plot: Benedict and Sophie’s Forbidden Romance

Following the format of Julia Quinn’s novels, each season of Bridgerton focuses on one sibling’s love story. Season 4 is inspired by “An Offer From a Gentleman” and tells a Cinderella-style romance centred on Benedict Bridgerton.

Benedict, known for his artistic spirit and resistance to societal expectations, finds himself captivated by a mysterious masked woman at a lavish masquerade ball hosted by Lady Violet Bridgerton. As he searches for the elusive “Lady in Silver,” fate leads him toward Sophie Baek, a resourceful maid living under harsh circumstances.

Unbeknownst to Benedict, Sophie and the masked woman are the same. As their paths intertwine, Benedict struggles to reconcile fantasy with reality, while Sophie navigates the rigid class boundaries of Regency society.
