Oh , I ’m going to ask [ coddler ] to be be sick right now . Please , Bridgerton .

Dearest, gentle reader! It’s only been a little over a month sinceBridgertonSeason 3 officially wrapped, and it was a heck of a season.

As of July 3, the third season of the hit Netflix seriesbecamethe 10th biggest English-language series ever, with a reported 91.9 million views and counting.

Of course, Season 3 followed Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) as he finally realized his feelings for Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). And with it came so many memorable moments like thecarriage scene, themirror scene, the reveal of Lady Whistledown to the Ton, and more.

WithBridgertonalready being renewed for a Season 4 ahead of the third season’s premiere, people have been waiting anxiously to see which Bridgerton sibling will lead next season, with fans believing it would either be Benedict (Luke Thompson), Eloise (Claudia Jessie), or Francesca (Hannah Dodd).

And now we finally have an answer. Today, Netflix unveiled that Season 4 will focus on none other than Benedict Bridgerton.

It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, considering Benedict’s book is the third inJulia Quinn’s beloved series, and the show actually skipped over his story to do Colin and Penelope’s first.

Netflix unveiled the exciting newswith a short video, which included some of Benedict’s moments from previous seasons and then Luke T. preparing to get fitted for a suit for a VERY special occasion.

Benedict’s love story is based on Julia’s book,An Offer from a Gentleman, and it’s literally theBridgertonversion ofCinderella.

However, when the clock strikes midnight, her fairy tale ends when she’s forced back to her house with her disdainful stepmother. Ever since this magical night, Benedict is determined to find the mystery woman he danced with.
