Bridgerton fans received an unexpected gift this week when Netflix Netherlands leaked key details about season four. The official Instagram account briefly posted a new promotional poster that revealed both the storyline focus and the release schedule.

The image features Luke Thompson as Benedict alongside Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek. The pair appear in masquerade costumes beneath cascading wisteria, a visual echo of Julia Quinn’s novel An Offer from a Gentleman. In that story, Sophie attends a ball disguised as the mysterious Lady in Silver, where she meets Benedict.

The poster also displayed release dates. Part One of season four will debut on January 29, 2026. Part Two will follow on February 26, 2026. By splitting the release, Netflix builds anticipation and keeps fan discussion alive for weeks. Netflix first introduced the split release format in season three, which featured Colin and Penelope as the central leads.

The poster leak gave fans what they had been waiting for most: release dates for Bridgerton’s fourth season. Netflix Netherlands’ Instagram briefly displayed January 29, 2026, for Part One and February 26, 2026, for Part Two, confirming that the season will follow the split-release model used for Colin and Penelope’s story in season three.

Fans React to the Bridgerton Season Four Leak With Excitement and Frustration

Within minutes of the post, social media lit up. Fans celebrated the news, reposted the image before it was deleted, and debated the pros and cons of splitting the season into two drops. Some praised the strategy for keeping the excitement alive, while others voiced frustration about having to wait a month between halves. One fan joked that “whoever leaked it, we thank you for your service,” while another pointed out that Netflix “just wants people to pay two months of subscriptions.”

Netflix has yet to comment, but the slip reassured fans that production has kept pace. The masquerade imagery on the poster confirmed the adaptation of Julia Quinn’s An Offer from a Gentleman, while the release dates gave audiences a concrete timeline for Benedict’s long-awaited love story.

For many, the leak was less a mishap and more a gift: the promise that season four is not just on the horizon, but coming sooner than some expected.
