Trailer

You can watch the teaser here:



 

At the moment, there is very little we know about the upcoming fourth season of 'The Bold Type'. The teaser shows the girls gearing up to do something that looks like an act of collective courage. Perhaps we will find out what happened to Jacqueline and whether or not the gang plans to do something to amend it. We will also find out if Sutton makes it as a designer. 

In season 3, the girls have been through a lot. Sutton has moved in with Richard (Sam Page) and in a career shift, is pursuing her career in the designer field. At the same time, as Kat runs for city council, she has also fallen for her campaign manager [she loses the election at the end of the season]. Season 4 will see new entrants with Chord Overstreet playing the role of Jane's brother Evan and Raven-Symoné will be guest-starring as a beauty influencer. 

Where to watch

The first episode of the fourth season of 'The Bold Type' premieres on January 23, 2020.
