A month after Bridgerton season 3 aired in June, Netflix announced on Instagram on July 23 that Luke Thompson’s character, Benedict Bridgerton, will be the focus of the upcoming season. Bailey praised his co-star and said Thompson, 36, “will be stunning” in the lead role.
“Benedict is full of wonder and joy,” Bailey continued. “He is the heart of the family.”

According to the synopsis for the upcoming season, Netflix teased that “despite his older and younger brothers being happily married, Benedict is reluctant to settle down — until he meets the stunning Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”
Actress Yerin Ha has been cast as Benedict’s love, Sophie Beckett.
In Season 3 — which focused on the friends-to-lovers storyline between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) — Anthony and his beloved wife and Viscountess Kate (Simone Ashley) enjoyed their wedded bliss and even announced that they they are expecting their first child.
Initial speculations about the future of Anthony and Kate about the upcoming seasons of the show Bridgerton increased after the couple decided to travel to India together ahead of the birth of their child at the end of the third season.

However, Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell assured fans in an interview with Teen Vogue in June that “the door is open” for the couple in Season 4. “We love Jonny and Simone and we’re going to get back to them as much as we can,” Brownell said. “They give so much, even with just little looks and gestures. They are an absolutely magical couple.” “I think, understandably, when any of our main actors commit their lives for their season, in future seasons, we want to support the fact that they have other projects coming in,” she continued. “And asking the actors to come back just to be in the background is not very fair to them.”
