Though viewers are already clamoring for more Bridgerton, the Shondaland period romance series based on Julia Quinn’s novels will take a bit to make its fourth season. The third season of the television adaptation was split into two parts as Netflix does with some of its tentpole titles.

Yerin Ha has been cast in the role of Benedict’s love interest, Sophie Beckett. The news came in August 2024. Netflix later confirmed the casting as well as the character’s name change to Sophie Baek, reflecting the actress’ Korean heritage.

Will there be any more new characters in Bridgerton Season 4?

Yes! Three key characters associated with Sophie’s backstory have been added to the series with cast members solidified in the roles. Katie Leung will play Sophie’s stepmother Lady Araminta Gun, and Michelle Mao and Isabella Wei will portray Rosamund Li and Posy Li — Sophie’s stepsisters.

Alice Mondrich (Emma Naomi) and Brimsley (Hugh Sachs) have also been upgraded to series regulars from their formerly recurring roles.

While not exactly clear if it will take place interwoven with Benedict’s story like it did with Colin and Penelope’s, Francesca’s love story will continue with plans from showrunner Jess Brownell. The sixth Bridgerton child, who was recast from Ruby Stokes to Hannah Dodd for Season 3, has a tragic first love story in When He Was Wicked, but a big twist at the end of Season 3 revealed gender-bending changes afoot for the character.

Bailey later said himself that he made room in his schedule to return for Season 4 production on Good Morning America.

Phoebe Dynevor came back for Season 2 as Daphne Bridgerton, or the Duchess of Hastings, but Rege-Jean Page did not reprise his role that season, and she confirmed her exit ahead of Season 3’s release.
