Netflix’s Bridgerton Season 4 has arrived with a expanded ensemble that blends fresh talent with fan-favorite returnees. If you’re wondering who’s who in Benedict Bridgerton’s Cinderella-inspired love story, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s your ultimate cast guide for Bridgerton Season 4.
The New Leads
1. Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek
The breakout star of Season 4, Yerin Ha takes on the role of Sophie Baek, this season’s leading lady with a twist. Unlike previous Bridgerton heroines, Sophie isn’t a high-society debutante—she’s a maid working for the Penwood family.
Sophie’s story begins when she appears as the mysterious “Lady in Silver” at a masquerade ball, capturing Benedict’s heart before disappearing into the night. Her dual identity as both an elegant mystery woman and a household servant creates the season’s central conflict.
Ha, previously known for her role in the Halo series, brings vulnerability and strength to a character navigating impossible circumstances. Her chemistry with Luke Thompson promises a romance that transcends social barriers.
2. Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton
After three seasons of supporting his siblings through their romantic dramas, Benedict finally gets his moment in the spotlight. Luke Thompson steps into the leading role as the artistic, free-spirited third Bridgerton son who has resisted marriage—until now.
Thompson has been carefully building Benedict’s character across previous seasons, establishing him as the family’s creative soul and philosophical observer. This groundwork makes his transformation into romantic lead feel natural and earned.
His portrayal of Benedict as someone seeking genuine connection rather than social advancement sets the tone for a season focused on authentic love over advantageous matches.
The Penwood Family (Brand New Characters)
3. Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gun
Harry Potter fans will recognize Katie Leung, who now plays a very different role as Sophie’s calculating stepmother. Lady Araminta Gun is described as “fabulous, discerning and blunt”—a woman determined to secure wealthy husbands for her daughters at any cost.
Araminta serves as the season’s primary antagonist, creating obstacles between Sophie and Benedict while desperately maintaining her family’s social position. Leung brings complexity to what could have been a one-dimensional villain.
4. Isabella Wei as Posy Li
One of Araminta’s daughters, Posy Li enters the marriage market with high expectations and her mother’s ambitions driving her forward. Isabella Wei portrays Posy as part of the household that keeps Sophie trapped in servitude.
5. Rosamund Li as Araminta’s Second Daughter
Araminta’s other daughter completes the Penwood family dynamic, adding another layer to the household where Sophie works and the obstacles she faces.
The Bridgerton Siblings Return
6. Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton
The eldest Bridgerton brother and Season 2’s romantic lead returns as Viscount Bridgerton. Jonathan Bailey’s Anthony now appears as a settled married man, offering guidance to Benedict while managing family responsibilities.

Anthony’s passionate wife returns to navigate aristocratic life while supporting the family through another season of romantic drama. Simone Ashley’s Kate has evolved from spirited newcomer to confident Viscountess.
8. Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Bridgerton (née Featherington)
Fresh from her successful Season 3 romance, Nicola Coughlan returns as Penelope, now married to Colin and adjusting to life as a Bridgerton. Her dual identity as Lady Whistledown continues to create intriguing storylines.

The romantic hero of Season 3 returns as Penelope’s devoted husband. Luke Newton’s Colin has completed his transformation from aimless traveler to purposeful partner.
10. Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton
Fan-favorite Eloise returns with her sharp wit and progressive viewpoints intact. Claudia Jessie’s portrayal of the independent-minded Bridgerton daughter continues to provide social commentary and humor.

Francesca returns as a newlywed, having married John Stirling at the end of Season 3. Hannah Dodd’s quieter Bridgerton sister brings a different energy to the family dynamics.

The Bridgerton matriarch returns to guide her children while potentially exploring her own romantic prospects. Ruth Gemmell’s Violet has been the family’s emotional anchor across all seasons.
13. Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton
The second-youngest Bridgerton continues growing up in the spotlight of her siblings’ romances. Florence Hunt’s Hyacinth provides youthful perspective and occasional comic relief.
14. Will Tilston as Gregory Bridgerton
The youngest Bridgerton boy returns, still years away from his own romantic season but always present for family moments.
The Stirling Family
15. Victor Alli as John Stirling
Francesca’s new husband joins the extended Bridgerton family circle. Victor Alli portrays John as a gentle presence in Francesca’s life.
16. Masali Baduza as Michaela Stirling
A member of the Stirling family whose presence suggests expanded storylines beyond the central romance.

Society’s sharpest observer and most powerful woman returns to dispense wisdom and manage her own family drama. Adjoa Andoh’s Lady Danbury remains one of the series’ most compelling characters.

Alice Mondrich also earns main cast status, allowing deeper exploration of life beyond the aristocracy. Emma Naomi’s character represents the broader world of Regency society.
