Netflix’s hit romance series Bridgerton is back for season four, with a number of new faces joining the cast.
Based on Julia Quinn’s best-selling novels, the first batch of new episodes arrived on Netflix this week with the show turning its focus to the second-eldest Bridgerton brother, Benedict. Played by Luke Thompson, the free-spirited artist will finally get his turn in the spotlight when he meets “Lady Silver” at a masquerade ball hosted by his mother.
Season four’s Cinderella-esque tale stars Yerin Ha as housemaid Sophie Baek, Benedict’s mysterious love interest. The Australian actress makes her ton debut alongside several new cast members including Scottish actress Katie Leung, who is best known as Cho Chang in the Harry Potter films and Caitlyn Kiramman in animated series Arcane.
Taking on the role of Lady Araminta Gun, a twice-married and twice-widowed mother of two, Leung’s character is looking to secure good marriages for her two daughters, with little care for her stepdaughter Sophie.
For fans interested in the rest of the Bridgerton family, there is no need to worry as the series will see the return of Colin and his new wife Penelope, as well as Eloise, their mother and younger siblings. This includes Francesca, who travelled to the Scottish Highlands at the end of last season for her honeymoon with new husband Lord John Stirling.
With the second half of episodes not due out until February 26, here is the full cast of Bridgerton Season 4 - from new arrivals to familiar faces.
21. Polly Walker as Portia Featherington
The ambitious head of the Featherington family, Lady Portia Featherington gained a newfound respect for her daughter Penelope last season. While she’s enjoying the social currency which comes with being attached to the Bridgerton’s, something closer to home is afoot. Played by Polly Walker, fans may recognise the actress from Bookish, Rome, Line of Duty and Dune: Prophecy. | LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX
