Dearest gentle reader, get ready to see a new face among the ton. Actress Yerin Ha , 29, will be joining season four of Bridgerton , starring as Sophie Beckett, the love interest for Luke Thompson 's Benedict Bridgerton, according to multiple outlets . While season three showed Benedict exploring his sexuality with Lady Tilley Arnold ( Hannah New ) and her friend Paul Suarez ( Lucas Aurelio ), it seems he now has his eye on a new diamond.
"The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict," per the series logline, according to Variety . "Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down—until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother's masquerade ball." Season four will be based on Julia Quinn 's An Offer From a Gentleman —the third Bridgerton book—following Benedict as he meets the mysterious lady in silver, only to catch up with her again two years later, unaware that she is the woman he has spent years pining for.
As for Yerin's Sophie, while it remains to be seen how her character will evolve on the show, in the book, she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl, who is faced with being the put upon maid for his wife and stepdaughters after his death. While Yerin—who previously starred in Halo and can be seen in the upcoming Dune: Prophecy —has yet to publicly speak out on her new role, fans were quick to jump into the Instagram comments on her Aug. 14 post to congratulate h.
