A Band-Aid on actress Katie Leung’s ear in *Bridgerton* Season 4, released Jan. 29, 2026, drew fan attention for breaking the show’s 1810s setting.

Bridgerton Season 4, released January 29, 2026, features a visible modern Band-Aid on actress Katie Leung’s ear during a masquerade scene, an anachronism since adhesive bandages didn’t exist in the 1810s. The error, spotted by fans on TikTok and reported by media outlets, contrasts with the show’s otherwise detailed period setting. Leung plays Lady Araminta, a key figure in Benedict Bridgerton’s romance with Sophie Baek, based on Julia Quinn’s novel *An Offer from a Gentleman*. While the slip-up sparked online discussion, with viewers joking about period-appropriate alternatives, the season continues to focus on its central romance and new characters like Rosamund Li and Posy Li. Despite minor production oversights, the show maintains strong viewer engagement.
