Overview
- Netflix will release eight episodes in two drops on January 29 and February 26, 2026.
- The new season adapts Julia Quinn’s An Offer From a Gentleman with Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha) at its center.
- Brownell says viewers can expect “juicy conflict,” rich set pieces, and a tonal shift “downstairs” that foregrounds class dynamics.
- Ongoing arcs return with newlyweds Penelope and Colin, Eloise aiding Benedict’s search for the “Lady in Silver,” and the Li sisters entering society under their mother Araminta Gun (Katie Leung).
- In Shondaland’s promo video, Brownell’s single word “bathtub” prompted reader speculation about a specific book moment, which the production has not confirmed.
