‘Bridgerton’ Season 4 Casts Yerin Ha as Sophie Beckett, Benedict’s Love Interest
“Bridgerton” has cast Yerin Ha as Sophie Beckett, Benedict Bridgerton’s love interest, in Season 4.
According to sources, Ha will play Sophie Beckett in the upcoming season of the hit Shondaland-Netflix series. As previously announced, Season 4 will tell the love story of Benedict (Luke Thompson) and will be based on the events of Julia Quinn’s third “Bridgerton” novel, “An Offer From a Gentleman.”
Representatives for Netflix and Shondaland declined to comment. Ha’s rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
According to the season’s official logline, “The fourth season of ‘Bridgerton’ focuses on the free-spirited second son Benedict. Although both his brother and sister are happily married, Benedict is reluctant to settle down — until he meets a charming Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”
Beckett is the “Lady in Silver.” In the novel, she is the illegitimate daughter of a count and one of his servants. She is raised in her father’s home, although he never publicly acknowledges her as his daughter.
Ha is perhaps best known to American audiences for her role in the Paramount+ video game adaptation of “Halo.” She appeared in both seasons of the series as Kwan Ha. Her other work includes the Australian shows “Reef Break,” “Troppo,” and “Bad Behavior,” as well as the indie horror film “Sissy.” She will next be seen in the Max prequel series “Dune: Prophecy,” which is set to air on the streaming service in November.
She is represented by WME and Morrissey Management.
“Bridgerton” Season 3 was released in two parts on Netflix from May to June 2024. The show has been renewed through Season 4 in 2021. It is certain to continue beyond the next season, as it is one of the most popular shows in Netflix history. All three seasons are currently in the top 10 most-watched English-language TV series on the platform. Season 3 alone has reached over 103 million views to date despite only being out for a few months.
“Bridgerton” is produced by Shondaland’s Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, and Tom Verica, along with Chris Van Dusen, who developed the show for television. Jess Brownell serves as showrunner and executive producer. Shondaland currently has an overall deal with Netflix.
