In her latest newsletter, Lady Whistledown has promised a new tale of romance, drama and scandal as Benedict finds his match after all his romantic misadventures. Rumour has it that this rakish artist might finally surrender his heart to a woman, and this news has surely left us restless. Netflix also dropped a small teaser from the upcoming season of the series that shows Benedict noticing a Lady in Silver at the masquerade ball. We’re not really ready to lose another one of Mayfair’s bachelors, but guess it’s time to tame this rake, too?
More On Bridgerton Season 4
As per the book series, Benedict romances Sophie Beckett, whom he later marries. Sophie’s character seems to have been renamed for the show as Sophie Baek and will be played by Yerin Ha. Earlier, the showrunner Jess Brownell had revealed that the masquerade ball would return in the first episode of season 4, which left the fans super excited. In this season of the show, the visuals of the ball will be inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare. While the story of the star-crossed lovers will mostly remain the same as the book, changes have been made to Luke Thompson’s character, who is shown as a more sensitive, self-aware and thoughtful person.
The story for this season is inspired by Cinderella and woven into a Regency era romance because it seems like Lady Sophie is actually a maid who has her own agenda. My, my, we wonder how the aristocrats of the ton are going to react to this rather scandalous romance. And what will happen when this romance meets reality?
FYI, Simone Ashley will also return this season to reprise her role of Kate Sharma from Season 2. Apart from the Viscountess, many other people will be returning to Mayfair to witness this love story unfold. However, you might want to be prepared for some new characters, but mind you, they’re not new arrivals in the town. Luke Thompson will return as Benedict while Yerin Ha plays Sophie. Jonathan Bailey will return as Anthony, along with Simone Ashley. Prepare for the return of Lady Danbury, Penelope, Colin, Violet, Haycinth, Eloise, Gregory and Queen Charlotte, along with many others.
Internet Reacts To The Return Of Bridgerton
While half the ton is happy with the news of the return of this deliciously scandalous show, which has also been renewed for 2 more seasons, there are those who are upset with the massive delay in its comeback. Looks like the ton cannot wait for 2026 because they can’t seem to keep calm for ONE MORE YEAR.
