Since Netflix announced Yerin Ha as Sophie Beckett for Bridgerton Season 4, fans have been debating whether the series will stay true to the book. Now, Ha’s latest update has reignited speculation that major changes could be coming to Benedict and Sophie’s story.
What Did Yerin Ha Post?
Ha recently shared a behind-the-scenes image from the set of Bridgerton Season 4 with the caption: “Ready for a new chapter full of romance and surprises!” However, eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed two key details:
- Ha’s costume doesn’t resemble the servant’s attire Sophie wears in the book. Could this mean that Netflix has rewritten Sophie’s backstory?
- Benedict (Luke Thompson) is seen looking at Sophie with intense emotion. This could suggest that their romance will develop differently from the original novel.
Is Netflix Changing Too Much?
Bridgerton has been known to take creative liberties with its source material. Season 2 significantly altered Kate and Anthony’s love story, and Season 3 will feature an unexpected twist for Penelope and Colin. With Season 4, fans are wondering if Netflix is about to make even bigger changes.
Some speculate that Sophie may no longer be a maid at all. Others believe her relationship with Benedict could begin earlier than in the books. While some fans welcome a fresh take, others are worried. “If they change too much, it won’t even feel like Sophie and Benedict’s story anymore,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
What Can We Expect?
Despite concerns, Ha reassured fans that Season 4 will be a deeply emotional and romantic season. “There’s something magical about this love story, and I promise fans won’t be disappointed,” she said.
For now, we can only wait and see if Netflix remains faithful to Julia Quinn’s beloved novel—or if Bridgerton Season 4 will take an entirely unexpected turn.
