The Seduction Episode 4 Is Almost Here: Release Date, Exact Drop Time, and Where to Watch

Things are getting messy on The Seduction, and Episode 4 is about to pour more gasoline on the fire. Here is when to watch it, where it will be streaming, and a quick refresher on the latest twist.

Previously: fallout, bad plans, worse leverage

Episode 3 left Isabelle de Merteuil drowning in guilt after her abortion, haunted by recurring nightmares of a crying child. Not exactly light viewing. While she is spiraling, Count Gercourt hustles to lock down a marriage to Cecile for his own gain. Isabelle and Valmont try to blow up his scheme, because of course they do, but the move backfires. Instead of getting burned, Gercourt walks away with a crucial piece of leverage against Isabelle — something he can use to put everything she has on the line. So yes, the power balance just shifted in a big way.

Quick refresher: what The Seduction is

This is a French HBO series that serves as a prequel to Dangerous Liaisons, tracking Isabelle de Merteuil before she became the Marquise we know. After a fake marriage and a betrayal by the Vicomte de Valmont, she sets out to reclaim power and status by maneuvering through Paris high society — and settling scores along the way.
