Back in the Mansion: Holly and Bridget Return for Season 4

The gates to the Playboy Mansion creak open again—at least in memory—as Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt return with Season 4 of Girls Next Level. The premiere, titled “Patriot Dames,” kicks off a deeper look into a new era of The Girls Next Door, the mid-2000s reality juggernaut that turned Hefner’s inner circle into pop culture figures.

Girls Next Level is Madison’s flagship podcast, co-hosted with Marquardt. Together, the former Playboy stars dissect each episode of the show that made them famous—pulling apart the on-screen fantasy and the off-camera reality. It’s not nostalgia, it’s a slow autopsy of a life once built on spectacle and illusion.

Madison, who’s carved out a second act in the podcast world, has also fronted other audio projects, including Mating with Holly Madison, I Choose…To Leave A Life That No Longer Serves Me, and Haunted with Holly Madison & Bridget Marquardt, all streaming across Apple and Spotify.

It’s less about reliving the dream now, more about understanding it—and who survived.
