Netflix’s longest-running romance saga enters uncharted territory with its February 26 premiere date for Season 4 Part 2.
The streaming platform unveiled the official trailer on February 13, positioning Benedict Bridgerton’s storyline as the series’ most socially transgressive romance to date. According to Netflix, the plot follows the Bridgerton brother as he falls for a lady’s maid who appears at a masquerade ball in disguise.
Fast Facts
- Official trailer released February 13, 2026 by Netflix
- Season 4 Part 2 premieres February 26, 2026
- Benedict Bridgerton is the central character, described by Netflix as an “eternal bachelor”
- The love interest is a lady’s maid in disguise at a masquerade ball
The trailer’s dialogue reveals the core conflict: a romance that crosses class boundaries in Regency-era England. “I cannot love a maid. And yet, you have taken possession of me,” Benedict says in the preview footage.
Netflix describes the narrative as exploring what happens when societal rules collide with genuine connection. The trailer includes the line: “For beings from opposing worlds, the desire is not the problem, but the world itself.”
Analysis: The focus on class barriers marks a departure from previous seasons’ emphasis on scandal within the aristocracy. By centering a cross-class romance, the series appears to be broadening its exploration of what marriage and partnership meant in early 19th-century British society.
The 1 minute 51 second trailer suggests Benedict must choose between his family and his relationship. “What is love in the face of society?” a character asks in the preview.
What to watch next: Part 2 of Season 4 streams exclusively on Netflix starting February 26, 2026.
