Fans of Netflix’s hit series, Bridgerton, have been eagerly awaiting news about the show’s fourth season. With the third season just released earlier this year, viewers are already buzzing with excitement over the latest developments for the upcoming season.
Bridgerton, based on Julia Quinn’s best-selling book series, follows the romantic escapades of the Bridgerton family in Regency-era London. Each season of the show focuses on one of the eight Bridgerton siblings, delving into their love stories.
The first season introduced us to Daphne Bridgerton, while the second focused on Anthony Bridgerton’s journey to finding love. Season three took a slightly different approach, adapting the fourth book in the series, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, and centered around Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.
Now, as anticipation builds for season four, the showrunners have once again stirred up excitement by making a major casting announcement. This season will adapt Julia Quinn’s third book, An Offer From a Gentleman, which tells the story of Benedict Bridgerton, the artistic and charming second son.
The big news? The casting of Benedict’s love interest, Sophie Beckett, has been revealed, sending fans into a frenzy. According to Variety, Australian actress Yerin Ha has been chosen to portray Sophie, marking her debut on Netflix. Yerin Ha, 29, is best known for her roles in Halo and Bad Behaviour, as well as the upcoming HBO series, Dune: Prophecy.
Sophie Beckett, a character beloved by fans of the book series, is the illegitimate daughter of an earl who finds herself working as a servant in her own home after the death of her father. Her Cinderella-like story captivates Benedict at a masquerade ball, where she appears as a mysterious “Lady in Silver.” T
The chemistry between Sophie and Benedict is a key element in An Offer From a Gentleman, and fans are excited to see how their romance will unfold on screen.
Netflix’s official synopsis for season four teases, “Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down. Until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”

Showrunner Jess Brownell has also shared some insights into Benedict’s character development, hinting that this season will explore his deeper desires and aspirations. “It felt important for [Benedict Bridgerton] to explore the fullness of himself before he settles down. He is someone who has big appetites, and we wanted to see him living a big life before he goes into a settle-down mode,” Brownell explained to Netflix’s Tudum.
While production for season four is already underway, the release date has not yet been announced. However, the recent casting news has only heightened the excitement among fans, who are eagerly counting down the days until they can dive back into the world of Bridgerton.
As the series continues to grow in popularity, the expectations for season four are high. Viewers are hoping for a blend of romance, drama, and the stunning visuals that Bridgerton is known for. With new characters and storylines on the horizon, the fourth season promises to be just as captivating as the ones before it.
