'Bridgerton' Season 4 leaks after Paris premiere as key moments from Episode 1 do the rounds online
'Bridgerton' Season 4 didn't have the ideal start. The much-awaited Netflix romance drama premiered in Paris, but clips from the new season have since leaked and surfaced on social media. Key moments from the first episode were leaked.
Starring Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha, the fourth instalment focuses on the complex and forbidden love story between Benedict and Sophie Baek. The leaked footage includes several scenes from the grand Bridgerton Ball, Eloise Bridgerton's return from Scotland to the Bridgerton house, and also her first dance and kiss with Benedict. Tweets have been doing the rounds with some fans expressing their displeasure at the leak. That said, some fans have been keen on watching the drama despite the clips circulating online.
Per Tudum, "Season 4 turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down. That is, until an enthralling woman captures Benedict’s attention at Violet Bridgerton’s (Ruth Gemmell) masquerade ball. While Benedict knows his love interest as only the Lady in Silver, she’s actually Sophie, a resourceful maid with her own secrets and dreams."
Show star Thompson also told the outlet about what fans could look forward to in the new season. "The scripts that Jess [Brownell] and her team have come up with are dynamite," he said. "They’re really, really, really exciting,” the actor says. “The storyline is a bit of a twist on ‘Cinderella.’ You remember being told those stories as a child — the magic and the romance of them. It’s really exciting to have that woven into the world that we know of Bridgerton … It’s such a great story, but it’s also, I hope, really relatable."
"What’s striking about Season 4," Thompson added, "is that it’s the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world. Season 4 pulls back the curtain of the over-the-top households of the ton and introduces some of the people who keep these aristocratic clans running."
'Bridgerton' season 4 will arrive on Netflix in two parts. The first one airs on January 29, and the second one will air on February 26. Meanwhile, fans can catch the three seasons so far on Netflix.
