Getting to be one of 'Bridgerton's lead lovers is a major spotlight for any actor — just ask Jonathan Bailey, Nicola Coughlan and Regé-Jean Page for proof. And it will no doubt be a career-changing moment for the Netflix show's newest star, Yerin Ha, when the fourth installment of the Regency-era romance hits the streaming service on Thursday, January 29. (The season will once again be split into two, with the final four episodes premiering a month later on February 26 . Here's a handy episode schedule so you don't miss a thing.)
Ha, a 28-year-old Australian actress known for roles in series like "Halo," "Bad Behaviour" and "The Survivors," joins the cast as Sophie Baek, a resourceful maid whose masked appearance at the Bridgerton family's annual masquerade ball sparks curiosity among the Ton and a connection with seemingly eternal bachelor, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). What follows is a slow-burning, Cinderella-esque romance between the two characters, but one complicated by their significant class differences, as plays out in the Julia Quinn novel on which the season is based, "An Offer from a Gentleman."
