Cameras have started rolling on Season 4 of Netflix’s hit show “Bridgerton,” the streamer announced Monday.
Season 4 is also adding three new cast members: Katie Leung (Lady Araminta Gun), Michelle Mao (Rosamund Li); Isabella Wei (Posy Li).

Netflix released short bios on the three new characters:
Leung’s Lady Araminta Gun: “Twice married and twice widowed, Araminta has two girls debuting on the marriage mart this season and is feeling the pressure to get at least one of them married off. Fabulous, discerning, and blunt, Araminta does not respond well when anything — or anyone — threatens her standing in society.”
Mao’s Rosamund Li: “Beautiful, vain, and eager to please her mother, Rosamund is Araminta’s eldest daughter and most prized possession. Rosamund sets her sights on Benedict Bridgerton this season and is determined to get what she wants.”
Wei’s Posy Li: “Rosamund’s younger sister, the much kinder Posy is also debuting this year. But her mother rarely puts the spotlight on Posy, as her chatty, overly friendly demeanour often has her putting her foot in her mouth.”
“Bridgerton” cast members Hugh Sachs and Emma Naomi will also return for Season 4, which is filming on the newly constructed backlot of Shepperton Studios. It will replicas of Georgian and Regency architecture including homes, buildings, Mayfair Street and more. The eight-episode season is showrun by Jess Brownell and executive produced by Brownell, Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica, and Chris Van Dusen.
