What Role Will Yerin Ha Play in Bridgerton Season 4?

The popular romance drama Bridgerton has reportedly found its next leading lady. Yerin Ha, a Korean-Australian actor, will star opposite Luke Thompson’s character, Benedict Bridgerton, in the show’s upcoming fourth season.

According to sources reported by Variety, Yerin Ha has been cast to play Sophie Beckett, who will be Benedict’s love interest in the new season. While Netflix has not yet confirmed the news, fans are eagerly anticipating this new addition to the Bridgerton cast.

Yerin Ha, 29, is known for her role as Kwan Ha in the Paramount+ series Halo, which was recently cancelled. She has also appeared in the Australian miniseries Bad Behaviour, the horror-comedy Sissy (2022), the ABC drama Troppo (2022), and several episodes of the 2019 drama Reef Break.

The fourth season of Bridgerton will focus on the love story of Benedict Bridgerton, the second eldest Bridgerton sibling. In a press release, it was revealed that despite his older and younger brothers being happily married, Benedict has been reluctant to settle down—until he meets a captivating “Lady in Silver” at his mother’s masquerade ball.

In the previous seasons, the love lives of other Bridgerton siblings took center stage. Season three followed the marriage of Colin Bridgerton (played by Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). Season two showcased the romance between Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). The first season featured Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page).

Benedict’s character was last seen in season three, exploring his sexuality with Lady Tilley Arnold (Hannah New) and Paul Suarez (Lucas Aurelio). According to Shonda Rhimes, the executive producer of the show, Benedict is a “charming man who’s trying to find his way.” She described him as delightful and funny, adding that viewers would enjoy watching his journey.

Showrunner Jess Brownell also commented on Benedict’s character, explaining that it was important for him to explore all aspects of himself before settling down. She emphasized that Benedict has “big appetites” and wanted to show him living a full life before he decided to commit to one person.

As of now, there is no official release date for the eight-episode fourth season. However, fans can catch up on the first three seasons, which are available for streaming on Netflix.

Bridgerton first premiered in 2020 and quickly became one of the most-watched shows across all streaming platforms. In June alone, it amassed 9.3 billion viewing minutes. The show’s success also contributed to Netflix gaining eight million new subscribers between April and June, marking a 37 percent increase compared to the same period in 2022.
