From secret masquerade balls to scandalous revelations in the ton, the upcoming social season of Bridgerton promises to be the most captivating yet. The expansive cast list opens the door to make viewers see which familiar faces are returning and which newcomers will be shaking up the status quo in Bridgerton season 4.

The Netflix phenomenon continues to adapt the beloved novels by Julia Quinn, this time focusing on the second-born brother, Benedict's arc. As the series moves forward, the ensemble cast evolves, blending established stars with fresh talent to bring the Regency-era drama to life.

Luke Thompson finally steps into the spotlight as Benedict Bridgerton, the artistic sibling searching for deeper meaning in his life. Before finding his way to Mayfair, Thompson appeared in the acclaimed war film Dunkirk and the series In the Club. His journey this season follows the search for a mysterious lady in silver who captures his heart at a family ball.

Jonathan Bailey will return as Anthony, the 9th Viscount Bridgerton, though he will likely spend more time enjoying marital bliss than managing family crises. Bailey, who recently starred in the series Fellow Travelers and the film Wicked, continues to be a fan favorite. Beside him is Simone Ashley as Kate Bridgerton, who previously showcased her talents in the popular series S-- Education.

The family circle is further rounded out by Claudia Jessie as the rebellious Eloise Bridgerton and Luke Newton as the newly married Colin Bridgerton. Newton, known for his work in the series The Lodge, shares the screen with Nicola Coughlan, aka Penelope, who remains a major player in the fourth installment after her character was unmasked as Lady Whistledown.

Younger siblings Francesca, Hyacinth, and Gregory also return to the screen. Hannah Dodd, who appeared in Enola Holmes 2, plays Francesca, while Florence Hunt and Will Tilston continue their roles as the spirited Hyacinth and Gregory. Finally, Ruth Gemmell reprises her role as the matriarch Lady Violet Bridgerton, having previously appeared in the film Fever Pitch.
