Bridgerton is ready to sweep us off our feet once again with its fairytale world of grand ballrooms, elaborate parties, intricate dresses, and obviously, a whole lot of romance. Season 4 is officially already in production, and fans cannot wait to witness the Bridgerton family’s romantic whirlwind.
This season will be led by Benedict Bridgerton, who is played by Luke Thompson. It will be another exciting journey as there will be more drama, mystery and of course, love will be in the air once again. Bridgerton Season 4 is inspired by the third book of Julia Quinn’s series, An Offer from a Gentleman.
If you are an eager Bridgerton fan who likes to be updated on any new information about the show, you have landed at exactly the right place. This article will talk about the returning favorites and those characters who might be taking a step back from the Ton’s ballroom this time around.
Bridgerton Season 4 cast: Who’s returning?
First things first, Benedict Bridgerton is at the heart of Bridgerton Season 4. Fans are eager to see how his story develops from where the show last left off. Benedict is the free-spirited Bridgerton, who was born second among the Bridgerton siblings. He is finally getting his own romance story in the new season.
Sophie Baek will await him at the end of his search for his mysterious “Lady in Silver.” Sophie Baek is portrayed by Yerin Ha. She plays the role of a resourceful maid with a buried past. Baek will be Benedict’s lady love in a classic style, but in a fresh manner. It might be like a retelling of a Cinderella-like love story.
Luke Thompson shared his excitement about playing Benedict again this season. Speaking about Season 4, he said it will be sort of a blend of both fantasy and reality. He told Netflix’s Tudum:
“What’s striking about Season 4 is that it’s the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world. And both are true. You have to hold both of them — the romance and the reality — in your hand. In its best version, ‘true love’ happens in the middle of that.”
Hence, we can conclude that this season, too, will be loaded with swoon-worthy moments. Benedict and Sophie’s love story will be one to watch as it will be full of charm, secrets, and most definitely, a masquerade ball.

As mentioned above, Yerin Ha, Katie Leung, Michelle Mao, and Isabella Wei are the new additions to the world of Bridgerton.
While Yerin Ha will play Luke’s love interest, Katie Lung will play Lady Araminta Gun. According to Netflix’s Tudum, Araminta is “twice-married and twice-widowed” who has two daughters who are expected to make their entrance into the show this season and she has to marry off at least one of them.
Rosamund is played by Michelle Mao and she is mostly vain even though pretty. She wants to please her mother. She also has eyes on this season’s lead man, Benedict.
Posy Li is played by Isabella Wei. She is the kinder sister and is also debuting this season. Posy is chatty and friendly, but her mother Araminta hardly pays attention to her.
