Bridgerton fans have gone wild after Netflix shared a first look at Benedict's love interest in season four.
Over on X, the official Bridgerton account shared a clip of Yerin Ha, who will play Sophie Baek in the upcoming season.
"Dearest Gentle Reader, as preparations for the next social season are almost underway, we request a warm welcome to the newest member of the Ton….Presenting Yerin Ha as Sophie in Bridgerton Season 4!" Netflix wrote.

And after watching the clip, fans were seriously excited, with one person commenting: "Another absolutely perfect Bridgerton casting! Love Yerin as Sophie Baek."
While another said: "Can’t wait to see Benedict fall completely in love. As an artist, he’s so attuned to his emotions and relationships with others.
"He’s going to be a total lover boy. Yerin is so beautiful. She’s going to slay every scene."
And a third added: "WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH YERIN!!! WELCOME TO THE BRIDGERTON FAMMM."
You can watch the moment below:
“What drew me to Sophie was that she immediately has obstacles — something that she constantly has to overcome,” said Yerin.
“Whether it’s this battle around social status or trying to hide her feelings from Benedict.”
Netflix explained Sophie has been given a Korean surname out of respect for Yerin’s culture.
In the book, Sophie's surname is Beckett, but in the Netflix adaptation, it will be Baek.
Bridgerton season four will air at some point in 2026.
