As the world eagerly anticipates the return of Netflix’s beloved period drama, Bridgerton, the streaming giant has officially begun production for Season 4. The latest season promises exciting twists, a focus on new characters, and a fresh romantic narrative that will undoubtedly captivate its global fanbase. To heighten the excitement, three new cast members have been added to the lineup, bringing with them new storylines that are sure to add depth to the Bridgerton universe.
New Cast Members Join the Bridgerton Family
Netflix has revealed that Bridgerton Season 4 will introduce three new characters to its ever-expanding ensemble: Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gun, Michelle Mao as Rosamund Li, and Isabella Wei as Posy Li. Each of these characters is poised to bring unique dynamics and challenges to the Bridgerton world.
- Katie Leung as Lady Araminta GunDescribed as “fabulous, discerning, and blunt,” Lady Araminta Gun is twice married and twice widowed. With two daughters debuting on the marriage scene this season, Araminta feels the pressure to secure at least one marriage for her girls. Her formidable presence and societal standing make her a character who won’t take kindly to any threats to her position. Expect drama, elegance, and fierce determination from this new addition to the Bridgerton cast.
- Michelle Mao as Rosamund LiRosamund, the eldest daughter of Araminta, is known for her beauty and vanity. Driven to please her mother, Rosamund sets her sights on none other than Benedict Bridgerton, determined to secure his affections this season. As the season unfolds, viewers can anticipate a battle of wills and wit as Rosamund vies for the attention of one of the most elusive members of the Bridgerton family.
- Isabella Wei as Posy LiIn contrast to her sister, Posy is characterized as much kinder and more outgoing, though her chatty nature often lands her in awkward situations. While her mother may overlook her in favor of Rosamund, Posy’s warmth and sincerity may surprise audiences as she navigates her way through society’s expectations.
Benedict Bridgerton Takes Center Stage
Season 4 of Bridgerton will shift its narrative focus to the second eldest Bridgerton sibling, Benedict (played by Luke Thompson). As fans of the show know, Benedict has often struggled with fitting into his family’s high-society expectations. His artistic soul and free-spirited nature set him apart from his more traditionally-minded brothers.
In this season, however, Benedict’s story takes a romantic turn when he meets a mysterious figure at a masquerade ball hosted by none other than his mother. The captivating "Lady in Silver" sparks a change in him, and for the first time, he begins to consider settling down.
This intriguing character, revealed to be Sophie Baek (played by Yerin Ha), will serve as Benedict’s love interest throughout the season. Sophie’s background and connection to the world of art and freedom make her the perfect match for Benedict’s character arc, promising a season full of romance, mystery, and self-discovery.
Stunning New Backdrops: Shepperton Studios’ Replica of Regency London
In an exciting production update, Bridgerton Season 4 is being filmed on a newly constructed backlot at Shepperton Studios. This meticulously designed set includes replicas of Georgian and Regency-era architecture, complete with stately homes, iconic Mayfair Street, and various other buildings that will transport viewers back in time. Fans can expect the same level of visual splendor that has become synonymous with Bridgerton, ensuring that each scene feels as lush and immersive as previous seasons.

In addition to the new cast members, fan favorites Hugh Sachs and Emma Naomi are confirmed to return, continuing their roles and contributing to the rich tapestry of relationships that define Bridgerton. With a strong supporting cast, Season 4 is expected to deliver the same mix of drama, intrigue, and romance that has made the series a cultural phenomenon.
Behind the scenes, Jess Brownell returns as showrunner for this upcoming season, a role she took over from Chris Van Dusen. Executive producers include industry heavyweights such as Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica, and Chris Van Dusen, ensuring that the season is in capable hands.
