Bridgerton season 4 will feature both fan favorite returning stars and new additions.
The fourth season of the hit Netflix series, which will premiere in two parts, will center around Benedict Bridgerton's (Luke Thompson) highly-anticipated love story. The season is based on the third book from the Bridgerton series, An Offer from a Gentleman.
Yerin Ha scored the role of Benedict's love interest, Sophie Baek. She later gushed to PEOPLE that she and Thompson "work so well together." Bridgerton season 4, which rolled out the first set of episodes on Jan. 29, will include both recurring stars and new characters. Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan — whose story was told in season 3 — are all slated to return.
In addition to Ha, those joining the cast include three more characters: Lady Araminta Gun (Katie Leung), Rosamund Li (Michelle Mao) and Posy Li (Isabella Wei).
Here's everything to know about the cast and characters of Bridgerton season 4.

Thompson is taking on the mantle of the leading man this season, reprising his part as the second-eldest Bridgerton son.
Before his season was announced, Thompson shared on The View that he was looking forward to becoming the next Bridgerton hunk whenever his time came.
"I know that it's so lovely [and] that one of the best things about a TV job is you get to really explore a character long-form like that and fill him in slowly,” he added. “So as long as I keep getting to do that.”
In September 2024, Thompson teased the new season, telling Tudum that it explores "the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world."
“I get really excited by how many unexpected twists you’ll get in season 4," Thompson said.

Ha was introduced as Sophie Baek in August 2024, taking on the leading woman role opposite Thompson.
Sophie is a maid who meets Benedict while masked, literally and figuratively hiding who she truly is.
“What drew me to Sophie was that she immediately has obstacles — something that she constantly has to overcome,” Ha told Tudum. “Whether it’s this battle around social status or trying to hide her feelings from Benedict.”
One difference from the original character in the book, An Offer from a Gentleman, is Sophie's change of last name from Beckett to Baek, honoring Ya's Korean heritage.
"To make Sophie's name fit someone who looks like me is really empowering," Ha said of the swap. "It's a really nice way for me to feel like the role is fit for me, rather than me having to fit a certain mold."

After leading the previous season, Coughlan is taking a step back but still reprising her role as Penelope Bridgerton, a name the character gained last season after marrying the third-eldest Bridgerton son, Colin.
Ahead of the cast announcement, Coughlan told The Hollywood Reporter that she would be excited to see how her and Colin's romance continues to bloom in season 4.
“We’re quite excited at the prospect of them just like being happy idiots,” she told the outlet in June 2024. “Some of my favorite stuff is the two of them. They both love a little gossip and a little b---h. So I really just want them in the corner like, ‘Oh, my gosh!’ ”

Similar to Coughlan, Newton was also eager to find out what would happen to his character, Colin, in season 4, but joked that he had stopped guessing.
"Before starting season 3, before reading the scripts, we never could have predicted how the story was gonna go," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "So, now I’m kind of relaxed in the thought that there’s no point even trying to speculate, even from a cast point of view. We can’t ever predict it."
He added that he feels similarly to Coughlan, and was looking forward to sweet moments for his character.
"Like the Kate and Anthony stuff when they’re in wedding bliss, and it’s just joy," the actor said. "They’re just in bed cuddling. Just nice, sweet moments."

"It's something that dynamic, self-contained women are challenged with all the time," she continued. "So I think it would be interesting to see. Anyway, that's above my pay grade."

"Nicola and I have always had this conversation from day one (that), wouldn't it be lovely for the queen to summon, and Whistledown and the Queen have tea together and come up with some kind of plot to destroy the Ton or whatever, or become allies," Rosheuvel told USA Today in June 2024.
