The good thing about the new seasons of “Bridgerton” is not only that we get to know the rest of the stories created by Julia Quinn, but also that we see how the other beloved characters continue.
In the fourth installment of the Netflix series, it will be Benedict’s turn to take the lead and give his heart. This means that Luke Thompson will be present along with Yerin Ha, who has been cast as Sophie.
Despite the fans’ excitement, we’ll still have to wait quite a while to see the story unfold, as it might not arrive until 2026. In the meantime, we should enjoy the leaked images, such as the one from the masquerade ball.
Which actors will return for Season 4 of Bridgerton?
As mentioned previously, Luke Thompson will be one of the actors who has been with the show since the first season and will return for the fourth, as he is the lead in the story alongside Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek.
They won’t be the only ones appearing in the upcoming episodes; it has also been confirmed that Jonathan Bailey will return once again as Anthony, but without his beloved Kate, as Simone Ashley has not yet been confirmed.
Additionally, Netflix has confirmed that the characters of Colin and Penelope will also be part of the extensive cast, so Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton will appear in some of the eight episodes.

Who will not be returning for Season 4 of Bridgerton?
One of the big surprises that the fourth season of Bridgerton will bring is the absence of none other than Kate, who has now become the new Lady Bridgerton. Apparently, Simone Ashley has not arranged to be part of the cast.
Phoebe Dynevor will also not appear in the new episodes, but this was to be expected, as she had announced that she was ready to step away from the project, just like Regé-Jean Page, who appeared only in the first season.
