What can fans expect from Bridgerton season 4?
With every new season of Bridgerton, the series continues to explore love in all its forms. The fourth season adapts Julia Quinn's third novel in her Bridgerton book series, An Offer from a Gentleman. The focus shifts to Benedict Bridgerton, the family’s free-spirited second son who has long resisted the idea of marriage.
His perspective changes after a magical encounter with a mysterious masked woman at his mother's grand masquerade ball. Unbeknownst to him, she is Sophie Baek, a young woman living on the fringes of society with a hidden past of her own. Bridgerton season 4 will also explore more of Francesca and John's marriage. The last time we saw them in the season 3 finale, they were headed off to Scotland to live with John's cousin, Michaela.
Luke Thompson reprises his role as Benedict, while Yerin Ha joins the cast as Sophie. The season 4 cast also includes Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Victor Alli, Adjoa Andoh, Golda Rosheuvel, Julie Andrews, Lorraine Ashbourne, Masali Baduza, Nicola Coughlan, Hannah Dodd, Daniel Francis, Ruth Gemmell, Florence Hunt, Claudia Jessie, Luke Newton, Katie Leung, and many others.
