Netflix treated Bridgerton fans to the season four trailer on Christmas Day but viewers have noticed a major flaw
The trailer for Bridgerton Season 4 has finally dropped but fans are furious about two characters ‘missing’ from the teaser.
The beloved period drama is set to return to screens on January 29th with four episodes, with another four instalments set to release on February 26th.
Netflix unveiled a two-minute teaser for the upcoming season on Christmas Day, and it focuses on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek’s (Yerin Ha) romance.
Based on Julia Quinn’s third book in the series, An Offer from a Gentleman, the trailer reveals the couple’s Cinderella-style meeting at the Bridgertons’ masquerade ball.
Sophie is shown working as a maid and envying members of high society who get to attend endless parties. So she disguises herself as a ‘lady’ and attends the ball.
However, she must return home at midnight.
Benedict bumps into her and asks for a dance and later tells her: “You are perhaps the most intriguing person I’ve ever met.”
But the couple are separated when Sophie runs home, leaving only her glove behind. Benedict then goes on a mission to find the owner of the glove, hoping he can spark a real connection with her.
Throughout the trailer, viewers see various members of the Bridgerton family including Colin (Luke Newton) and Francesca (Hannah Dodd). However, fans are furious that Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and his wife Kate (Simone Ashley) are excluded from the teaser.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one penned: “Clearly we understand Kathony [Kate and Anthony] had their season… but it truly doesn’t make sense that the VISCOUNT and VISCOUNTESS Bridgerton, the literal HEADS of the household are nowhere to be seen Imao.”
Someone else chimed in with: “Are you aware large parts of this season are at the home of the Viscount and Viscountess? Where are they?”

While a third agreed: “The absurdity of this production writing Kate and Anthony out of Part 1 yet being too cheap to relocate the Bridgertons to a new residence so you have everyone & their mothers hosting balls and living it up at K & A’s house while the viscount & viscountess are nowhere to be seen.”
Yet another unimpressed viewer wrote: “Another Polin [Penelope and Colin] scene in carriage but ZERO seconds of Kanthony,” and a final viewer quipped: “Kate and Anthony going on their eighth honeymoon so that others can live in their house (masterminds behind this show).”
Bailey and Ashley will be in the new season, but it’s unclear how much screen time they will each have. If season three is anything to go by, they may only appear in a few episodes.
Bridgerton season four part one premieres on Thursday, January 29 on Netflix
