Bridgerton has tapped Yerin Ha to play the love interest of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) in the fourth installment of Shonda Rhimes' Netflix series.
BRIDGERTON Season 4 Benedict Bridgerton & Sophie Beckett
Sources confirmed to Deadline that Ha will play the role of Sophie Beckett, who has a slow-blooming romance with Benedict in Julia Quinn's novel An Offer From a Gentleman, on which Season 4 will be based.
According to Netflix's official logline: "The fourth season of Bridgerton focuses on bohemian second son Benedict. Despite his older and younger brothers both happily married, Benedict has no desire to settle down — until he meets a glamorous Lady in Silver at his mother's masked ball."
The “Lady in Silver” is Sophie. In the novel, she is the daughter of a count and one of his maids. Although she was raised in his house out of a sense of responsibility, he never claimed her as his kin and let her have a rather difficult upbringing at the hands of her stepmother and stepsisters.
