Bridgerton Season 4 Teaser Poster Reveals Colin’s Identity Struggle

by

The strength of Bridgerton is its ability to focus on new couples each season, which keeps the love stories interesting. While some characters take a backseat after their main romance is explored, that won’t be the case in season 4. Even though Colin and Penelope’s relationship felt a little fast-paced towards the end of season 3, they’re too important to be relegated to minor roles going forward.

The secret is out: Penelope is Lady Whistledown, revealed in the finale of Bridgerton season 3. A new poster for season 4 has also been released, and while it features all four Bridgerton siblings, Colin’s appearance emphasizes a significant change for him compared to earlier seasons.

Colin Is The Only Character Without A Mask In The New Bridgerton Poster

The new poster for Bridgerton season 4 shows Eloise, Benedict, and Violet wearing fancy masks for a masquerade ball. Interestingly, Colin is the only one without a mask. This visual detail hints at the core of his storyline – that he’s being more open and revealing his true self.

Throughout the show, Colin has struggled to find his place as the third son of the wealthy Bridgerton family, feeling unsure of his purpose. In the first season, he longed for a romantic connection and hoped to be Marina’s hero. The following season, he went through a period of uncertainty, even briefly appearing as something of a villain in season 2 of Bridgerton.

When Colin returned in season 3, he initially acted confident and boastful, presenting a new side of himself. But ultimately, the season challenges him to face the hurt his insecurities have caused. He needs to repair his friendship with Penelope after being unkind to her at the end of season 2, and in the process, he finally stops pretending and shows his true self.

Throughout season 3 of Bridgerton, Penelope truly understands Colin and supports his dreams. She motivates him to pursue his writing and finally share it with the world. By the season’s end, Colin is confident in who he is. This change is reflected in the season 4 poster: while Benedict, Eloise, and Violet are wearing masks, Colin isn’t – showing he no longer feels the need to hide.

What To Expect From Colin In Bridgerton Season 4

Season 4 of Bridgerton is expected to focus on Colin and Penelope as the main couple, giving them more central roles than in previous seasons. The show has demonstrated a pattern of including past main characters – for example, Duchess Daphne returned in season 2 with her son to help her family – so we can anticipate similar appearances from other beloved characters.

In season 3, Anthony and Kate had a lovely storyline where they prioritized their own happiness and continued enjoying their honeymoon. This choice helped maintain a consistent feel throughout the season, rather than starting fresh with a new romance.

Now that everyone knows Penelope is Lady Whistledown, keeping that connection strong is more important than ever. Lady Whistledown still plays a key role in the social and political happenings of the show, so Penelope and Colin need to remain central to the story.

The show has changed the order of events from the books, but it’s interesting to see Colin grapple with finding confidence as a writer. This is the first time he’s really defined himself outside of the Bridgerton family, and without Penelope’s support, he might lose his footing.

Colin is Penelope’s main source of support after she reveals she’s Whistledown. Plus, with their baby in the season 3 finale, Bridgerton season 4 can now explore what life is like for the married Bridgertons as parents, moving beyond their honeymoon phase.
