Who is Sophie Baek in Bridgerton season 4?
The show's fourth season is inspired by Julia Quinn’s third book from the Bridgerton book series called An Offer from a Gentleman, released in July 2001.
On July 23, 2024, Netflix revealed that Luke Thompson's Benedict Bridgerton, the second son of the titular family, will take centerstage in Bridgerton season 4. A few months later on September 11, 2024, the streamer officially announced Yerin Ha's casting as Benedict's love interest, Sophie Baek aka the Lady in Silver.
The official logline of Bridgerton season 4 reads:
"The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict... 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."
Sophie is a lady's maid who sneaks into Viscountess Violet Bridgerton's masquerade ball in the premiere episode of Bridgerton season 4. Her first meeting with Benedict plays out like the encounter between the titular characters from Romeo and Juliet.
Korean-Australian actress Yerin Ha told Netflix's Tudum on October 28, 2024, a month after she began filming for the series, that she was drawn to the character's inner conflict.
"What drew me to Sophie was that she immediately has obstacles — something that she constantly has to overcome. Whether it’s this battle around social status or trying to hide her feelings from Benedict," she said.
Furthermore, Yerin added that her character's last name was changed to reflect her Korean heritage. In the book, the character is named Sophie Beckett, but showrunner Jess Brownell chose the last name 'Baek' after consulting with her. She elaborated on its signficance by saying:
"A name is the first bit of identity that you share with the world, and that’s why changing a name can be so powerful. To make Sophie’s name fit someone who looks like me is really empowering....It’s a really nice way for me to feel like the role is fit for me, rather than me having to fit a certain mold. It’s amazing what it can do just in a psychological sense."
As of this writing, Netflix has not confirmed a release date for Bridgerton season 4, which is likely to premiere sometime in 2026.
