Whereas viewers already found the lake scene from the first part of Bridgerton season four particularly sensual, the short new clip takes it up a notch. The teaser centers around a warm bath where Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and Sophie, portrayed by Yerin Ha, slowly move towards each other.
The moment between Benedict and Sophie builds on the tensions that arose at the end of episode four of the first part, where Benedict made Sophie an offer that sparked divided reactions among many viewers.
In the teaser, only Benedict and Sophie are seen, but at the end of the first part, fans already got a short preview announcing the return of Viscount Anthony Bridgerton and his wife Kate Sharma, along with their baby.
Although Benedict has fatefully met his mysterious 'Lady in Silver' again, he has yet to realize that she is the same woman as Sophie. Their relationship is further complicated by the strict class differences in society: Sophie is a maid, and according to social norms, Benedict cannot marry her.
The teaser is accompanied by a poster featuring Benedict and Sophie against an autumnal backdrop by the lake, with the telling slogan 'Change is in the air.' This suggests that changes are inevitable, both for the couple and for the world they live in.
The second part of the season will likely also provide a glimpse of who will be central in season five. Showrunner Jess Brownell previously hinted that it might be Eloise Bridgerton or Francesca Bridgerton, but the order has not yet been confirmed.
The second part of Bridgerton season four, consisting of four episodes, will be released on Thursday, February 26.
