In a short clip released on all social media channels, Netflix made the official announcement to fans around the world.

Benedict’s story will be an adaptation of Julia Quinn’s third novel ‘An Offer From A Gentleman’, which explores the second brother’s reluctance to commit and settle down like his elder brother. But at his mother’s masquerade ball, he falls in love with a mysterious woman and begins seeking her out in hopes of marrying her.

Since the news was released yesterday, fans on social media have already been celebrating the news that was anticipated for the longest time. Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes has teased fans by promising that the upcoming season is about to meet everyone’s expectations. “He’s very delightful and funny. I’m excited for everybody to watch him.”

The Netflix drama ‘Bridgerton’ is an adaptation of the popular historical-romance novels written by Julia Quinn, which follow the love life of the eight siblings and their widowed mother in Regent London. The third season revolved around the third sibling Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. The season was met with critical acclaim from fans and critics, and was ranked among the top ten shows on Netflix around the world.
