Meet Sophie! The Actor is Unmasked. Plus: Events, an Extended Excerpt, and Special Edition News
Sophie! An Offer from a Gentleman fans, meet Yerin Ha, who has been officially cast as the Season 4 lead love interest to play opposite Luke Thompson’s Benedict Bridgerton. — and just today, Netflix posted some wonderful photos of Luke and Yerin (and some new cast — see below) in a Tudum article that enchantingly begins, “The fairy tale is officially beginning.”
If you’ve read the book (or at least the JuliaQuinn.com excerpt), you’re familiar with Sophie Beckett (A.K.A. the maid with a hidden past, A.K.A. The Lady in Silver) has been reimagined for the Netflix screen as Sophie Baek.
Sophie’s Backstory: The Prologue and Chapter One of An Offer from a Gentleman (book 3 in JQ’s Bridgerton series), begins with Sophie, but as Netflix’s BRIDGERTON Season 4 is all about Benedict, JQ has extended her online excerpt to include the beginning of Chapter Two, in which we meet our hero at a certain masquerade.
In the Prologue and Chapter One, readers will also meet Araminta, Rosamund, and Posy, who figure significantly into Sophie’s life and throughout An Offer from a Gentleman. Just today (in the aforementioned Tudum article), the casting for these characters were announced:
And lest we ignore Seasons 1, 2, and 3, JQ is absolutely delighted about the inclusion of lines from the books in the show, as recently reported in People Magazine.

YAY! Sophie was picked! She's so pretty. I love Benedict's story, so he deserves to find his 'Cinderella'.
This is going to be a good story, and I can't wait to see it.
I loved Benedict’s story Sophie is beautiful can’t wait for season 4
