Bridgerton has been renewed for a fourth season since April 2021, but sadly, fans wont be getting the new installment till the summer of 2026. While the world waits till then, a couple of teasers have dropped here and there, giving fans a glimpse of whats to come for Luke Thomspons Benedict and Yerin Has Sophie Baek. With Season 4 officially in production at Netflix, TV Insider had a chat with Ha about pop culture influences on the main characters love story, and surprisingly, the actress had something interesting to say.
Speaking at the Dune: Prophecy premiere in New York City on October 30, Ha admitted that there arent many direct influences on Benedict and Sophies romance besides whats in Julia Quinns An Offer From a Gentleman, the third chapter in the Bridgerton book series which inspires Season 4. However, the actress noted that while filming a particular scene in the upcoming season, she was reminded of the famous Mr. Darcy, created by the iconic novelist Jane Austen.
Ha shared:
Its funny because there was a scene, and I literally said to Luke, Youre giving Mr. Darcy vibes 100 percent. So, I guess Pride and Prejudice for me. I dont think the showrunners are thinking that, but for me, Im thinking Pride and Prejudice.
What To Expect in Bridgerton Season 4
