GBBO's Alison Hammond confirmed for exciting new role in Bridgerton's 'Season of Love'

Bridgerton season 4 is making its society debut with a little help from Alison Hammond.

The fourth season of the Bridgerton podcast from Netflix and Shondaland will be hosted by none other than the star of The Great British Bake Off and This Morning.

The six-episode podcast series is set to offer viewers a deep dive into the world of the ton. It will be available to watch on Netflix in the US and YouTube globally, as well as heard on traditional podcast platforms.

It's also been confirmed that Bridgerton season 4 will premiere in Paris on 14th January and will be livestreamed on Tudum.com, with radio presenter Clara Amfo and French actress Karima Charni hosting.

Among the stars set to grace the red carpet are season 4 leads Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha. Thompson stars as second son Benedict Bridgerton, while newcomer Ha plays the mysterious Lady in Silver who captures his heart at a masquerade ball.

Based on the third Bridgerton novel, An Offer from a Gentleman, the season has been described as a fairytale romance that follows Benedict’s search for the young lady’s true identity.

It will also continue to develop Penelope’s (Nicola Coughlan) storyline as she navigates going public as gossip columnist Lady Whistledown.

Fans will be pleased to know that showrunner Jess Brownell recently confirmed Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley’s returns as Anthony and Kate, sharing: “‘Kanthony’ will be together again and we will get to be seeing more of their marital bliss and seeing their baby as well. So, lots of fun.”

Netflix is pulling out all the stops to promote the new season, hailing this as the 'Season of Love' and offering fans the chance to experience some Regency romance themselves with brand collaborations and live events.

Marian Lee, chief marketing officer at Netflix, said: “The excitement for season 4 is at an all-time high and we have many plans to delight and continue deepening our engagement with fans.”

She added that hosting the premiere in Paris not only ties in with Netflix’s Season of Love, but is also where season 4 star Luke Thompson grew up.

Season 4 of Bridgerton will premiere on Netflix in two halves. The first batch of episodes will be released on 29th January and the second on 26th February.

Bridgerton seasons 1-3 are available to watch on Netflix now. Season 4 is coming in 2026. You can buy the Bridgerton book series on Amazon.
