It's almost time to return to the ton, gentle reader. The first episodes of season four of "Bridgerton" will drop on Netflix on January 29, with part two premiering on February 26. The season focuses on Benedict Bridgerton's love story with Sophie Baek. Luke Thompson will reprise his role as Benedict, while Yerin Ha will play Sophie. Ahead of the show's Netflix release, the cast of "Bridgerton" gathered at the Palais Brongniart in Paris on Wednesday to celebrate the season's world premiere in red-carpet style.

The synopsis reads: "Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down." However, everything changes when he meets the captivating lady in silver, Sophie Baek ( Dune: Prophecy 's Yerin Ha), at his mother's masquerade ball. The teaser shows Benedict descending a staircase and passing Sophie, who is wearing a silver gown, long white gloves and a bejewelled silver mask. As they pass each other, the classic Bridgerton yearning stirs with just the slightest brush of a hand. In the final shot, we see one of Sophie's gloves lying on the floor.

The Old Royal Naval College, recognized as the top UK heritage filming location, showcased its iconic twin domes and 18th century Painted Hall in Bridgerton.
