.In July, Netflix announced that the focus of the fourth season would be on Benedict Bridgerton’s love story, portrayed by Luke Thompson. This matter had been the subject of speculation among fans since the season 3 finale. Yerin Ha, an Australian actress known for her work in Halo, has been cast as Sophie Beckett, the love interest of the second-oldest Bridgerton brother.
Variety first reported the exciting news.
In Julia Quinn’s book series Bridgerton, specifically in Benedict’s book An Offer from a Gentleman, the story revolves around Benedict’s quest to find true love with a twist. In this Cinderella story, Benedict meets a mysterious young woman at his mother’s Masquerade Ball and becomes infatuated with her. The woman, named Sophie, is the daughter of an earl but has been treated as a servant by her disdainful stepmother. Benedict embarks on a two-year-long journey to find her, and they eventually find themselves in each other’s arms.
Since the premiere of season 4 is not until 2026, fans can pass the time by reading Benedict’s book and rewatching the first three seasons.
