As a die-hard Bridgerton fan who has eagerly devoured every season and read all the books, I am beyond thrilled to hear that Yerin Ha will be joining the cast as Sophie Beckett for the fourth season! The news of Jonathan Bailey’s return as Anthony Bridgerton and Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton had already set my heart racing, but this announcement has sent it into overdrive.
As a die-hard Bridgerton fan, I’m beyond thrilled to share some exciting news that just dropped this afternoon! It seems like the creative minds behind our beloved series have found their leading lady for the much-anticipated season 4. None other than Yerin Ha, who stole our hearts as Kwan in Halo, is set to grace the Bridgerton ballroom!
The news follows the announcement that Jonathan Bailey will again take on the role of Anthony Bridgerton in season 4. Previously, it was revealed in July that Luke Thompson would star as Benedict Bridgerton in the fourth installment of the show. Naturally, this sparked curiosity among fans about who might portray Sophie Beckett, Benedict’s potential love interest.
Reading “An Offer from a Gentleman,” you’ll discover that Sophie, unlike Benedict, hails from a distinct social stratum. She is the illegitimate daughter of an earl and one of his maids, and her upbringing was marked by hardship following the death of her father. Primarily raised by a cruel stepmother, she endured challenging circumstances. However, if you haven’t delved into this captivating tale yet, I strongly recommend it. Despite its twists and turns, Sophie and Benedict’s love story is arguably one of the most enchanting romances I’ve encountered in literature.
Initially, some spectators believed that South African actress Masali Baduza might play the role of Sophie, but instead, she was chosen for the part of Michaela Stirling, a gender-swapped version of the character Michael Stirling from the books. The character of Michaela Stirling was introduced at the end of Bridgerton season 3, and she is romantically involved with Francesca Bridgerton in the series.
In July 2024, a call for auditions was made to find an actress to portray a character named “Emily” in the fourth season. However, it was suspected that this name was a pseudonym, and not the character’s actual name on the show. The casting team was seeking an East Asian actress who appeared to be around 24-30 years old for the role. Interestingly, Ha matches these specifications perfectly. She is Korean and 29 years old. It seems that the production team might have been searching for an actress named Sophie instead.
With Sophie Beckett now cast in the role, all the anticipation and guesswork can finally end. Although she may not have extensive acting experience, she undeniably shows promise as an up-and-coming talent. I’ve had the chance to view some of her earlier performances, and I must admit, I was quite taken aback by her skill. I eagerly await seeing her tackle a character unlike any she has portrayed before.
Ha has also created some other works worth exploring, including the crime drama series “Troppo”, the horror-thriller “Sissy”, and the drama miniseries “Bad Behaviour”. In the near future, you can catch her in the science fiction series “Dune: Prophecy” and the crime drama series “The Survivors”.
