Ahead of the premiere of Bridgerton Season 4 Part 2, Netflix released the official trailer of the drama and heartache fans will have to endure. Above all, the Bridgerton Season 4 trailer stunned fans with the emotional return of the eldest brother and Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey).
The new trailer tackles the rest of the original Julia Quinn book after Part 1 saw Sophie (Yerin Ha) rejecting Benedict’s (Luke Thompson) question of her becoming his mistress. Throughout the trailer, it appears that Benedict is battling inner demons between what’s appropriate in society and his unescapable love for a maid.
In moments of self-doubt and anguish, the Bridgerton Season 4 Part 2 trailer reveals Anthony has returned to guide his younger brother. His return had been teased earlier, with hints that he and Kate (Simone Ashley) would come back from India in the second half of the season. The trailer has confirmed that the couple has indeed returned to Bridgerton House.
As Benedict struggles with emotions of the heart, Anthony is heard telling him, “You’ve convinced yourself that she is reason enough to risk everything.”

The rest of the trailer also shows scenes of him and Kate, with their son being introduced to the family. Lady Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) is heard telling her son that he will have to sacrifice his family if he were to follow his heart. The dialogue is overlapped with a scene of Lady Bridgerton holding what appears to be Anthony’s son, as Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) also fawns over him. Benedict looks onto the scene with a warming smile, with Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) behind him.
Fans are over the moon with excitement to see Anthony return, with one fan saying, “Welcome back Anthony Bridgerton and his wisdom.”
While Lady Bridgerton has always advocated for a love match, it may be Anthony’s words that truly make Benedict come to terms with his decision. After all, fans know what’s at stake, with Benedict choosing to love Sophie, threatening to ostracize him from society and his family due to their different social classes.
Bridgerton fans may also realize the trailer teases heartache also awaits as Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and other characters are seen wearing black mourning clothes. Anthony may be coming home to guide not only Benedict, but another sibling through a hard time.
