Yerin Ha, soon to be seen in Dune: Prophecy, has joined the cast of Bridgerton season four as Sophie Baek aka the Lady in Silver. Ha will be a series regular in the upcoming season, playing a maid who catches Benedict’s eye.
Netflix offers this description of Ha’s character: “Sophie Baek has been forced to spend much of her life working as a maid for the most demanding employer in the ton. But the resourceful Sophie always finds a way to persevere through her circumstances — which will drastically change after she disguises herself to attend Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball and meets Benedict Bridgerton.”
Speaking with Netflix’s Tudum, Yerin Ha talked about what she loved about Sophie. “What drew me to Sophie was that she immediately has obstacles — something that she constantly has to overcome,” said Ha. “Whether it’s this battle around social status or trying to hide her feelings from Benedict.”
Ha also spoke about the fact that Sophie and Benedict connect at a masquerade ball. “There’s this theme with masks that was running throughout all of my audition scenes,” explained Ha. “When does Sophie put on this mask to cover her emotions? Or vice versa, when does she take it off, and when does she soften up? Playing with those [questions] is just really fun.”
The third season starred Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington, Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton, Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton, Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton, Golda Rosheuvel as Queen Charlotte, and Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury. Ruth Gemmell starred as Violet Bridgerton, Lorraine Ashbourne as Mrs. Varley, Hannah Dodd as Francesca Bridgerton, Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma, and Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton.
Harriet Cains played Philipa Featherington, Bessie Carter as Prudence Featherington, Jessica Madsen as Cressida Cowper, Florence Hunt as Hyacinth Bridgerton, Martins Imhangbe as Will Mondrich, and Will Tilston played Gregory Bridgerton. The season three ensemble also included Polly Walker as Portia Featherington, Hugh Sachs as Brimsley, Emma Naomi as Alice Mondrich, Kathryn Drysdale as Genevieve Delacroix, and Sam Phillips as Lord Debling. Julie Andrews returned as the voice of Lady Whistledown.
“The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson),” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “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.”
Jess Brownell guides the eight-episode fourth season as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica, and Chris Van Dusen.
