“Bridgerton” has cast Yerin Ha as Benedict Bridgerton’s love interest for Season 4.
According to sources, Ha will play Sophie Beckett in the upcoming season of the hit Shondaland-Netflix series. As previously announced, Season 4 will tell Benedict’s (Luke Thompson) love story and will be based on the events of Julia Quinn’s third “Bridgerton” novel, “An Offer From a Gentleman.”
Reps for Netflix and Shondaland declined to comment. Reps for Ha did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Per the official logline for the season, “The fourth season of ‘Bridgerton’ 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.”
Beckett is the “Lady in Silver.” In the novel, she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl and one his maids. She was brought up in her father’s house, though he never publicly acknowledged her as his daughter.
Ha is perhaps best known to American audiences for her role in the Paramount+ series adaptation of the “Halo” video games. She appeared in both seasons of the series in the role of Kwan Ha. Her other credits include the Australian shows “Reef Break,” “Troppo,” and “Bad Behaviour,” as well as the independent horror film “Sissy.” She will next appear in the Max prequel series “Dune: Prophecy,” which is slated to air in November on the streamer.
She is repped by WME and Morrissey Management.
“Bridgerton” Season 3 was released in two parts on Netflix between May and June 2024. The show was renewed through Season 4 back in 2021. It is all but assured to continue beyond the next season, given that it is one of the most popular shows in Netflix history. All three seasons currently rank among the top 10 most-watched English language TV titles ever on the platform. Season 3 alone has racked up over 103 million views to date despite only being available for a few months.
“Bridgerton” is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, and Tom Verica of Shondaland along with Chris Van Dusen, who developed the show for television. Jess Brownell is the showrunner and executive producer. Shondaland is currently under an overall deal with Netflix.
