“Bridgerton” has cast Yerin Ha as Benedict Bridgerton’s love interest for season 4.
According to sources, Ha will play Sophie Beckett in the upcoming season of the hit Shondaland-Netflix series.

Representatives for Netflix and Shondaland declined to comment. Representatives for Ha did not immediately respond to request for comment.
According to the official logline for the season: “The fourth season of ‘Bridgerton’ focuses on Bohemian second son Benedict. Although his older and younger brothers are both happily married, Benedict is reluctant to settle down – until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.
Beckett is the ‘Lady in Silver’. In the novel she is the illegitimate daughter of a count and one of his maids. She grew up in her father’s home, although he never publicly acknowledged her as his daughter.
