Breaking News! Bridgerton fans, get ready to swoon! We have exclusive news that is sure to send ripples through the ton. It appears the highly anticipated fourth season of Bridgerton has found its leading lady. The role of Sophie Beckett, the love interest of Benedict Bridgerton, will be portrayed by none other than Halo star, Yerin Ha.
This exciting casting news comes hot on the heels of the confirmation that Jonathan Bailey will be returning as Anthony Bridgerton in season four. As fans will recall, it was announced in July that the spotlight would shift to Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) for the upcoming season. Naturally, this sparked fervent speculation about who would be cast as his love interest, Sophie Beckett.
For those unfamiliar with the Julia Quinn novel, An Offer from a Gentleman, Sophie is a complex and captivating character. Born out of wedlock to an earl and one of his maids, she endured a challenging upbringing, primarily under the cruel care of her stepmother. Her story is one of resilience, love, and overcoming adversity, making her a truly compelling figure.
While some fans had speculated that South African actress Masali Baduza might take on the role of Sophie, she has since been cast as Michaela Stirling, the gender-swapped version of Michael Stirling from the books. Michaela will be Francesca Bridgerton’s love interest.
The search for Sophie Beckett has been closely followed by fans. In July 2024, a casting call was released seeking an actress to play a character named “Emily,” believed to be a code name for Sophie. The casting sought an East Asian actress aged between 24 and 30. Yerin Ha, a Korean actress of 29, perfectly fits the description.
With the casting of Yerin Ha, the speculation can finally cease. While Ha might be a relatively new name in the industry, her talent is undeniable. Her previous work in series like Halo, Troppo, Sissy, and Bad Behaviour showcases her versatility as an actress. We are excited to see her take on the challenging and multifaceted role of Sophie Beckett.
As Ha joins the Bridgerton family, anticipation for season four reaches new heights. We can’t wait to see the chemistry between her and Luke Thompson as they bring the beloved characters of Benedict and Sophie to life.
