We’re certainly not in Mayfair anymore. While Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) spends much of Bridgerton Season 4, Part 1 pining for the mysterious maid Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) within the confines of Regency-era London, the stars of the period drama are traveling the globe to celebrate the series’ 2026 return. Bridgerton cast members are popping up across Europe, Africa, and North America, with even more stops ahead as fans prepare for Part 2’s debut on Feb. 26 — and Tudum has your inside look at all the photos. 

Since production began, Thompson has been excited to unveil Season 4 to audiences. “I feel like part of the pleasure of a show is that people will latch on to certain moments,” he says. “For me, the whole Bridgerton journey is interesting. It’s a very rich, interesting story, so we’ll see what people really connect with.” 

Ha has one guess about which moments may attract viewers’ attention: “I’m really excited for the My Cottage sequence,” she says, referring to the events of Episode 3. “That’s really where Benedict and Sophie’s relationship blossoms. It’s a parallel between Luke and me, because that’s where our friendship started to blossom as co-stars.… I have a nostalgic, sentimental attachment to that place now.” 

With the Bridgerton world tour in full swing, Ha and the rest of the cast may now be forming sentimental attachments to cities around the world. Keep scrolling for all the best photos from every appearance along the way.

Series newcomers Katie Leung, Michelle Mao, and Isabella Wei also walked the red carpet, introducing Bridgerton’s Penwood family to the world. During the Bridgerton Premiere Masquerade live stream event, the trio was asked which co-star they most wanted to share a scene with after being cast. “My dream was [Claudia Jessie as] Eloise, which may or may not happen in this season,” Wei said.  “I think she’s so hilarious.” 

No matter which cast member they filmed with, all three actors were moved by the welcoming nature of the Bridgerton cast. “It was a table read when I met everyone for the first time. And it was so lovely,” Leung said. Mao agreed, adding, “I had so many amazing conversations with the people from that first day.”

The Cape Town fan event 

South African actor Masali Baduza was greeted with open arms by her home country at the Bridgerton celebration in Cape Town. Baduza, who plays adventurous noblewoman Michaela Stirling, was joined by Martins Imhangbe and Emma Naomi, who portray Will and Alice Mondrich. Baduza can’t wait for fans to get to know her character — whom she calls “a baddie” — even better. 

“Michaela is very independent, bold, and confident. She marches to the beat of her own drum,” she explains. “She’s fiercely protective of her family, of her cousin John, and she isn’t constrained by the norms of society. It was really great to explore that in this time period.” 

Naomi and Imhangbe had previously sworn that more surprises were in store for the Mondriches. Season 4, Part 1 lives up to that promise, as Alice is offered the unexpected opportunity to become Queen Charlotte’s (Golda Rosheuvel) lady-in-waiting. 

“The amazing thing about being Will and Alice is that we can never predict where our characters are going because we’re not in the book,” Naomi explained at the premiere masquerade. “So, everything that will surprise you surprised us just as much when we were reading the script.”

Violet Bridgerton’s (Ruth Gemmell) season-opening soirée isn’t the only party worth attending. Thompson and Ha recently appeared at Toronto’s Bridgerton masquerade ball. Thompson has found solace and pride in meeting Bridgerton fans around the world. 

“You’d think that the idea of hearing lots of shouting fans would make your head completely leave the ground,” he says. “But it’s reassuring because you’re like, ‘Oh, people like the show.’ Our work is coming through. We are communicating something.”

The Amsterdam Q&A

The matriarchs of the ton ruled over Amsterdam for the day. Golda Rosheuvel, Adjoa Andoh, and Ruth Gemmell arrived in the Netherlands to ring in the new season. 

On Bridgerton: The Official Podcast, Gemmell dove deep into what it means to explore the lives of Mayfair’s mamas in Season 4. In the latest episodes of the series, Queen Charlotte questions what support she requires as her husband King George (James Fleet) ages, Lady Danbury (Andoh) yearns for a life beyond England’s borders, and Violet grows closer to Lord Marcus Anderson (Francis). 

Violet and Anderson’s shared history — both have experienced tragedy, been dutiful parents, and acquired decades of experience — is the key to their connection. “When you’ve loved and lost, I think there’s a shared understanding that certainly is comforting,” Gemmell says. “That vulnerability between the two of them is [what’s] really beguiling for the journey that these two take. It’s really lovely.” 

The Honorary Atlanta Dinner

As the palace’s favorite (and most fabulous) best friends, Rosheuvel and Andoh kept the fun going with a visit to Atlanta. The duo was feted at a luxurious dinner hosted by entertainment personality and creator Beverly “Bevy” Smith. 

Beauty in Black’s Taylor Polidore Williams, Miss Governor’s Terri J. Vaughn, and more of the city’s VIPs were in attendance to pay tribute to Rosheuvel and Andoh and their regal impact on Bridgerton.
