On January 14, 2026, Netflix turns the Bridgerton Season 4 premiere in Paris into a virtual red-carpet event for worldwide fans. Anyone who registers by 9:30 p.m. PT on January 13 through its Tudum site will be able to watch a global livestream from Palais Brongniart, titled “Premiere Masquerade,” that also includes an early screening of the first episode.
What To Know About Bridgerton Season 4 Release Date
Season 4 of Bridgerton spotlights the second-eldest Bridgerton brother, Benedict, played by Luke Thompson, who finally embarks on his own high-stakes romance after watching his siblings find love in earlier seasons.
The new instalment, inspired by Julia Quinn’s book titled An Offer from a Gentleman, centers on Benedict’s burgeoning relationship with the captivating Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha.
Fans have been waiting for Season 4 since the premiere of Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 on June 13, 2024.
However, the wait is still not over. Similar to the previous season, Netflix plans to split Season 4 into two parts. The first four episodes debut on January 29, 2026, and the remaining four follow on February 26.
How to Join Bridgerton Season 4 Virtual Watch Party
There is one exception. Anyone registering by 9:30 p.m. PT on January 13 through its Tudum site will be able to watch the first episode.
At Netflix’s Bridgerton Season 4 Premiere Masquerade, viewers will have access to a live, virtual community experience streamed from Paris, France.
The event includes interactive elements such as trivia, games, giveaways, and live chats, along with red carpet interviews and behind-the-scenes moments.
It culminates in a special performance followed by the screening of Episode 1 of Season 4 ahead of its worldwide Netflix debut.
What To Know Before You Register
Registration for the Bridgerton Season 4 Premiere Masquerade closes at 9:30 p.m. PT on January 13.
Once the window closes, access is no longer available.
It will be a livestream, a one-night-only event. It will not be replayed and will not remain available on demand after it ends.
The early access applies only to Episode 1 of Season 4. The remaining episodes will still follow Netflix’s split release schedule later in January and February.
The event is only available in English, but can be watched from anywhere in the world. Netflix advises users to log in with a high-quality internet connection.
Netflix Is Turning Premieres Into Virtual Watch Party Events
The Paris masquerade is not a one-off experiment but part of Netflix’s broader shift toward eventized releases designed to create connection and attention.
Netflix has experimented with livestreams since around 2023, starting small and expanding into larger events such as sports, comedy specials, awards shows, and fan celebrations.
It culminated in a live event on May 31, 2025, titled Netflix’s Tudum 2025, where the streamer brought together major franchise announcements, cast appearances, and exclusive first-look footage.
During the event, fans got an early look at one of Netflix’s largest franchises with a sneak peek of the first six minutes of Wednesday Season 2’s premiere episode, “Here We Woe Again.”
Later in the year, Netflix organized a similar virtual watch party event like the Bridgerton Season 4 Premiere Masquerade.
On November 6, 2025, Netflix streamed a virtual watch party titled Stranger Things Season 5 Premiere Live Event, featuring red carpet moments, cast interviews, trivia, giveaways, and the first 5 minutes of Season 5.
