Announced in US media a month ago, Netflix has confirmed Benedict Bridgerton’s (Luke Thompson) wife-to-be translator in season 4 of The Bridgerton Chronicles.
Because the upcoming season of the Shonda Rhimes-produced Netflix series will focus on the third Bridgerton sibling, following Daphne (Phoebe Dinevoor), Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Colin (Luke Newton).
Who Will Play Sophie in “Bridgerton” Season 4?
The platform officially announced that it was actress Erin Ha who would play Sophie, Benedict’s future wife. This 29-year-old Australian actor started his career in theater with adaptations His Majesty the Flies before appearing on television.
She made a name for herself in Reef Break and Troppo, but Yerin Ha became famous mostly thanks to the Halo series, an adaptation of the famous video game produced by Steven Spielberg. Before you find him in Bridgerton, you’ll also find him in the Dune: Prophecy cast.
Netflix released a video of Erin Ha giving a sneak peek at her character’s and the Bridgerton universe’s upcoming costumes, including the gloves she wears during her first encounter with Benedict.
Big change in “Bridgerton” season 4
Casting Erin Haas in Bridgerton brings big changes for her character. Indeed, in Julia Quinn’s book, Sophie Beckett is a young blonde woman.
In the Netflix series, the character will be named Sophie Baek, and her Korean heritage will be reflected in the plot, which will also emphasize the background of her translator.
It was already in Season 2 for Kate’s (Simon Ashley) character, whose name Sheffield became Sharma to emphasize the character’s Indian culture. This time, it was Yerin Ha who chose her character’s last name, at the request of showrunner Jess Brownell.
“A name is the first piece of identity you share with the world, and that’s why changing your name is so powerful”Yerin Ham explained Tudum, “The name Sophie, which suits my look, is really a big credit to Jess Brownell, our showman.”.
Season 4 of Bridgerton, which is not expected for two years, tells the story of how Benedict meets and falls in love with a mysterious “silver lady” (in reference to her dress) who he meets at a ball thrown by his mother.
This meeting will turn Benedict’s life upside down, who is still determined to enjoy his bohemian life and not settle down like his brothers Anthony and Colin, who are happily married to their wives, Kate and Penelope.
The first three seasons of The Bridgerton Chronicles are available on Netflix.
