Bridgerton Season 4 Cast: Meet the New Characters

It’s happening. Benedict will meet a mysterious, masked “Lady in Silver” who will inspire him to become the Prince Charming in his very own love story. The official synopsis is as follows:

“The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson). Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”

Adapted from Julia Quinn’s third Bridgerton novel An Offer from a Gentleman, season four will welcome new characters Lady Araminta Gun, her daughters Rosamund and Posy Li, and their maid Sophie. Find out more about the newcomers below.

Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek

Season four’s leading lady (in silver) will be Sophie Baek, as played by Yerin Ha. The actor is best-known for her role as Kwan Ha in videogame-to-TV adaptation Dune: Prophecy, and as lead character Mia in forthcoming Australian Netflix drama The Survivors.

Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gun

Playing the Li sisters’ mother Lady Araminta will be Scottish actor Katie Leung, seen recently in BBC thriller The Wheel of Time to The Peripheral and more. But will her Bridgerton character be a Wicked Stepmother or a Fairy Godmother?

Here’s the official description: “Twice married and twice widowed, Araminta has two girls debuting on the marriage mart this season and is feeling the pressure to get at least one of them married off. Fabulous, discerning, and blunt, Araminta does not respond well when anything — or anyone — threatens her standing in society.”

Michelle Mao as Rosamund Li

Rosamund Li plans on bagging Sweet Home, to Metal Lords, Surfside Girls and more.

Here’s her character’s official description: “Beautiful, vain, and eager to please her mother, Rosamund is Araminta’s eldest daughter and most prized possession. Rosamund sets her sights on Benedict Bridgerton this season and is determined to get what she wants.”

Isabella Wei as Posy Li

Posy is the younger and sweeter of the two Li sisters, and will be played by Isabella Wei. Fans of Netflix’s head-scratching cult 1990s film The Crow will have seen her playing the part of Zadie. She’ll also be seen in the role of Kai-Ming in new Netflix spy thriller Black Doves, due to arrive later this year.

Here’s her character’s official description: “Rosamund’s younger sister, the much kinder Posy is also debuting this year. But her mother rarely puts the spotlight on Posy, as her chatty, overly friendly demeanour often has her putting her foot in her mouth.”

Masali Baduza as Michaela Stirling

We already met Baduza’s character Michaela Stirling (gender-flipped from the book-role of John Stirling’s cousin Michael) Noughts + Crosses books, and in movie The Woman King, alongside Viola Davis and Lashana Lynch.
