The eight-episode Season 4 centers on Benedict (played by Luke Thompson), the bohemian second son in the Bridgerton family, and a mysterious Lady in Silver (Halo's Yerin Ha). 'Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating woman at his mother's masquerade ball,' per the official logline. Though her identity is not at first known to Benedict, the woman turns out to be Sophie Baek, a secretive maid with big dreams.
The Julia Quinn adaptation first hinted at Sophie's arrival in the Season 3 finale, when Eloise mentioned her mother Violet's forthcoming masquerade ball. Benedict noted his RSVP for the event, telling his sister, 'I will be there, hiding out behind a mask, avoiding eligible ladies like the plague.' (As if!)

View List
As previously reported, the fourth season has cast Katie Leung (the Harry Potter franchise, The Peripheral) as Lady Araminta Gun, a widower with two girls making their debuts; Michelle Mao (Goosebumps) as Rosamund Li, Araminta's eldest daughter and most prized possession; and Isabella Wei (The Crow) as Posy Li, Rosamund's chatty younger sister. Meanwhile, Emma Naomi, who plays Alice Mondrich, and Hugh Sachs, who plays Brimsley, have been upgraded to series regulars.
Although Benedict and Sophie's romance occurs in the third installment of Quinn's wildly popular book series, Season 3 skipped that romance to focus on Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan). The latter's friends-to-lovers arc, which wrapped during Part 2 in June 2024, resulted in a marriage and a male heir.
