Netflix takes Bridgerton superfan to season 4 premiere to meet the cast – and fan has surprising connection to beloved star

by

With Bridgerton season in full swing, Netflix is offering one lucky super-fan an unforgettable experience to celebrate!

The streamer ran a contest to find the most dedicated Bridgerton fan. After reviewing many entries and recommendations, they finally chose a winner.

Sarah was nominated by a close friend, and we learned about her life – she dedicates much of her time to helping others, all while remaining a devoted fan of Bridgerton.

She relates to Penelope, the character Nicola Coughlan plays, so strongly that she even dyes her hair red to look like her!

She jokingly says she’s going through a ‘Penelope Bridgerton phase,’ believing she’s auditioning for a game show.

I was so excited watching the video! It shows exactly how they managed the surprise. Sarah was led to believe she was going on a first aid course with a friend, and they even travelled to a training center to make it believable. It was a perfect setup!

After arriving, a few unexpected things happened. But once Sarah was with the other students, the teacher asked her to come to the front of the room and share her favorite TV show. Sarah enthusiastically talked about how much she enjoyed Bridgerton, and then the teacher asked her to write the show’s name on the whiteboard.

As she does, the room around her transforms into a stunning ballroom filled with dancers in elegant Regency-era clothing, mirroring a scene from the show. Sarah is then guided to a throne and surprised with an invitation to the Paris premiere, a dream come true for any dedicated fan.

Sarah shared how thankful she is for everyone she met while working on Bridgerton. She described the experience as an amazing adventure and expressed her gratitude for what she called a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I’m so grateful for everyone’s amazing work, commitment, and support – I couldn’t have done any of this without you. Every experience, from the wonderful surprise in Newark to walking the red carpet in Paris and meeting so many incredible people, was more meaningful than I can say.

Season 4 of Bridgerton starts tomorrow! The first group of episodes will be available then, with the remaining episodes coming in February.

This season, the show centers on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha), whose paths cross at Lady Violet’s masquerade ball. Benedict, captivated by the enigmatic Lady in Silver, sets out to find her.

Benedict, with some hesitation from his sister Eloise, begins searching for the mysterious woman who captured his attention. However, he soon discovers she isn’t a member of high society – it’s Sophie Baek, a clever and capable maid working for the imposing Lady Araminta Gun.

Benedict and Sophie unexpectedly meet again, and Benedict finds himself torn between his growing feelings for Sophie, a captivating maid, and his idealized vision of a mysterious woman known as the Lady in Silver – not realizing they’re actually the same person. His struggle to recognize their connection could ruin the strong attraction between them. But can love overcome the obstacles of social class and societal expectations?
