Dearest gentle readers, this author is most pleased to announce that the much anticipated Season 4 of the regency spectacleBridgertonis officially in production with a pair of new diamonds to dazzle the ton. This season will lead the way with perhaps the mostfree-spirited Bridgerton brother, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), and a new jewel the ton has not yet been introduced to thus far,Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). To ensure we are all properly primed for their union, Netflix and Shondaland have unveiled a first look at the couple.
The cast photographs tease a first look at the pair together with Thompson and Ha looking every bit a regal match as they cozy up whilst on set for the next installment of the show. Thompson looks as dapper as ever in a gray tweed suit and relaxed shirt whilst Ha oozes elegance and grace — two things this author and her Majesty both share an appreciation of — in abundance as she poses in a burgundy leather coat and tweed trousers.
What Will Season Four of ‘Bridgerton’ Be About?
This exciting first look is the only glimpse avid audiences have been given into what is to come, and it hotly follows Ha’s cast announcement. TheDune: Prophecystar will be Benedict’s leading lady in the role of Sophie.Having had a troubled life and spending the majority of her days working as a maid for the ton, Sophie remains quite an enigma, keeping her cards and feelings particularly close to her chest. In fact, she is particularly prone to avoiding showing any part of her inner self. Meanwhile, as audiences are well aware, Benedict is a free soul on a journey of self-discovery with an intense desire not to be tied down to the usual marriage blueprint. Naturally, this is all thrown into disarray when they meet at a masquerade ball, with Sophie quickly becoming the elusive Lady in Silver.
If that was not enough to sink your teeth into, this author is also pleased to share thatthree new cast members have been addedto the mix.Harry PotteractressKatie Leungwill take on the role of Lady Araminta Gun — a mother on a mission to get her two girls married off,A Big Bold Beautiful Journey’Michelle Maoas Rosamund Li — Lady Gun’s eldest daughter with a prime target locked on, andThe Crow’sIsabella Weias Posy Li — Lady Gun’s youngest daughter who is often overlooked next to her vain older sister. In trueBridgertonstyle, this undoubtedly promises a firey showdown between the ladies as they fight to secure an eligible match.
Season 4 follows on from Season 3, which witnessed a conclusion to an epic friends-to-lovers story between one Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). Their narrative was inevitably shaped by the Lady Whistledown-sized skeleton in Pen’s closet whilst Colin grappled to come to terms with his feelings for his close friend who had indeed been lying to him for years. However, all’s well that ends well as the duo is united in matrimony and honesty by the end of the season, with an heir to seal the deal. Benedict and Sophie will be the firstBridgertoncouple we have seen that does not have the backdrop of Lady Whistledown’s anonymity and subsequent relentless judgment. It will be intriguing to see if this plays into the pair’s dynamic, whether that is shielding secrets or not being thrown into the spotlight.
SadlyBridgertonSeason 4 does not yet have a release date but you may indulge in the previous seasons on Netflix now. Stay tuned at Collider for updates.
