A Bridgerton season 4 cast update reveals a character description for a potential key role. Based on the books by Julia Quinn, each season of Netflix’s series follows a different member of the eponymous family as they find love in an alternative version of Regency-era London, with season 3 focusing on the friendship-turned-romance between Colin and Penelope Featherington. Bridgerton season 4 has been renewed by Netflix, though much is unknown about the upcoming episodes, including who the lead character and central romance will be.
According to Collider, Bridgerton season 4 is currently casting a major recurring role, “Emily,” a character who is an “East Asian female” between the ages of 24-30 and described as “plucky, endlessly resourceful, and having trouble trusting others.” The role will involve nudity and sexual scenes, suggesting the character may be a love interest for one of the Bridgerton siblings.
Who “Emily” Could Be In Bridgerton Season 4?
It’s Likely Benedict’s Love Interest
High-profile series, such as Bridgerton, frequently employ code words to conceal casting for significant roles. The practice helps prevent spoilers and other information about future plotlines from being revealed. With this in mind, it’s reasonable to assume that “Emily” is actually a placeholder name for someone else who will be a major recurring character in Bridgerton season 4. Considering the casting information, “Emily” could be a code name for Sophie Beckett, Benedict’s love interest from the Bridgerton books.
