The fourth season of Netflix’s hit series Bridgerton has begun production in the UK with the streamer announcing new cast members for the upcoming season. Joining the series is Katie Leung (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Michelle Mao (A Big Bold Beautiful Journey) and Isabella Wei (The Crow).
The fourth season will adapt the third book Julia Quinn’s novel series An Offer from a Gentleman, which follows Benedict Bridgerton’s love story. Luke Thompson will reprise his role once again as Benedict and lead the season alongside Yerin Ha (Halo) as Benedict’s love interest Sophie Baek.
Leung will play Lady Araminta Gun. “Twice married and twice widowed, Araminta has two girls debuting on the marriage mart this season and is feeling the pressure to get at least one of them married off. Fabulous, discerning, and blunt, Araminta does not respond well when anything — or anyone — threatens her standing in society.
Mao will be Rosamund Gun. “Beautiful, vain, and eager to please her mother, Rosamund is Araminta’s eldest daughter and most prized possession. Rosamund sets her sights on Benedict Bridgerton this season and is determined to get what she wants.”
Wei will Posy Gun, “Rosamund’s younger sister, the much kinder Posy is also debuting this year. But her mother rarely puts the spotlight on Posy, as her chatty, overly friendly demeanor often has her putting her foot in her mouth.”
The new installment turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. 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.
Bridgerton stars Luke Thompson, Yerin Ha, Jonathan Bailey, Adjoa Andoh, Julie Andrews, Lorraine Ashbourne, Masali Baduza, Hannah Dodd, Victor Alli, Nicola Coughlan, Daniel Francis, Ruth Gemmell, Florence Hunt, Martins Imhangbe, Claudia Jessie, Luke Newton, Golda Rosheuvel, Will Tilston and Polly Walker.
