Jonathan Bailey confirmed his return as Anthony Bridgerton in season 4, emphasizing his support role for younger siblings' love stories while still being prominently featured. The season will focus primarily on Benedict Bridgerton's love story with Sophie Beckett, portrayed by Yerin Ha, following the plot of Julia Quinn's 'An Offer From a Gentleman'. Sophie, the illegitimate daughter of an earl, first meets Benedict as the mysterious Lady in Silver at a masquerade ball. Yerin Ha's casting marks a significant step for diversity in the show's ensemble. Production for season 4 is expected to begin soon, with a possible release in 2026.
