Bridgerton besties are back! Eloise and Penelope are all smiles in exclusive season 4 image

Plus, get a closer look at the Li sisters.

All is well in the ton now that Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Eloise (Claudia Jessie) are best friends again.

Season 3 of the Shondaland hit, which aired last year, found the former besties at odds as Eloise raged over Penelope’s long-kept secret of her identity as the author of Lady Whistledown.

Things degenerated further between them when Penelope and Colin (Luke Newton) announced their engagement, only for Eloise to threaten to expose Penelope’s secret to her brother. But by season’s end, Lady Whistledown was fully unmasked (by Penelope herself) and Eloise decided to travel to Scotland with Francesca (Hannah Dodd).

Entertainment Weekly can share an exclusive new image of the two pals back in cahoots in season 4. The two ladies promenade with wide smiles on their face as they share a confidence.

Showrunner Jess Brownell promises that Peneloise fans will find plenty to delight them in season 4, which is currently in production. “They’re more bonded than ever!” she tells EW. “Their trials and tribulations last season have added new depth to their friendship, and we’re excited for viewers to see how their relationship looks now that they’ve each grown up a little.”

Another exclusive image grants viewers a closer look at the Li sisters, Rosamund (Michelle Mao) and Posy (Isabella Wei), the step-sisters of Yerin Ha’s Sophie Baek. “The Li sisters are just making their debut into society this season, and their mother (Araminta Gun, played by Katie Leung) has raised them to be perfect debutantes,” Brownell explains. “But while Rosamund has become her mother’s mini-me — a marriage mart pro chess player — Posy is dreamy and often unserious, much to her mother’s disapproval.”

“Araminta and Rosamund are so focused on their own goals that, frankly, the Bridgertons don’t register much for them at first,” she adds. “Beyond the fact that Benedict proves to be quite the catch this season.”

However, Benedict’s head looks to be turned to their third sister, Sophie, after she charms him at the Bridgerton masquerade ball disguised as a mysterious woman in silver.

“Benedict is a character who we all have been rooting for,” Brownell previously teased. “We’re deeply invested in his story, and it’s been really exciting trying to shake him out of his normal routine, and the only way we were able to do that was with a character as dynamic as Sophie. She is based in a Cinderella trope, but she is no damsel in distress. She is someone who has chess moves and is always thinking two, three steps ahead. She’s absolutely going to throw Benedict for a loop.”

We can’t wait to climb aboard that rollercoaster whenever Netflix sees fit to return us to London.
