The final four episodes of Bridgerton Season 4 are now streaming on Netflix, and viewers around the world are finally watching the love story of Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek unfold. The second batch of episodes dropped on February 26, 2026, bringing the Cinderella-inspired romance to its conclusion.
While longtime fans already know the returning cast members, this season introduces several new faces who play crucial roles in Sophie’s story. If you have been wondering where you recognized Sophie’s cruel stepmother or her stepsisters from, you are not alone. Here is the complete Bridgerton Season 4 cast guide with details on where you have previously seen all the new stars before they joined the Regency-era drama.
Yerin Ha Is Sophie Baek, the Maid Who Steals Benedict’s Heart
Australian-Korean actress Yerin Ha takes on the role of Sophie Baek, the hardworking maid who attends Lady Bridgerton’s masquerade ball as the mysterious Lady in Silver. Her character is based on Sophie Beckett from Julia Quinn’s novel An Offer From a Gentleman, but the production changed the surname to Baek to reflect Yerin’s Korean heritage.
Before landing her breakout role in Bridgerton, the 28-year-old actress had already built an impressive resume. She studied musical theater at Sydney’s National Institute of Dramatic Art and graduated in 2018. Yerin Ha made her television debut in the American-French series Reef Break before appearing in the Australian crime drama Troppo.
Genre fans will recognize her from the Steven Spielberg-produced Halo series, where she played Kwan Ha. She also appeared in the HBO prequel series Dune: Prophecy in 2024 as young Kasha. More recently, she starred in the Netflix series The Survivors in 2025. Horror enthusiasts might spot her in the 2022 film Sissy about a bachelorette party that takes a violent turn.
Katie Leung Plays the Wicked Stepmother Lady Araminta Gun
Scottish actress Katie Leung portrays Lady Araminta Gun, the cruel stepmother who forces Sophie to work as a servant in her household. Dressed entirely in black throughout the season, Araminta favors her own daughter Rosamund while treating Sophie poorly.
Harry Potter fans will immediately recognize Katie Leung as Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw student who captured Harry’s heart in the Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. Following her breakthrough role in the fantasy franchise, Leung studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and graduated in 2015.
She has built a diverse career across stage and screen. Voice acting fans know her as Caitlyn Kiramman in the critically acclaimed Netflix animated series Arcane. Her television credits include the BBC miniseries Nightsleeper as reporter Rachel Li, the sci-fi series The Peripheral as Ash, and The Wheel of Time as Yasicca. She also appeared in Annika, The Nest, and Roadkill.
Michelle Mao Is Rosamund Li, the Favorite Daughter
Michelle Mao plays Rosamund Li, Lady Araminta’s eldest daughter and clear favorite. Beautiful on the outside but self-absorbed underneath, Rosamund sets her sights on marrying Benedict during the social season and treats her stepsister Sophie with cruelty.
The Chinese-American actress brings nearly 50 credits to her role in Bridgerton. She attended boarding school in England before studying at UC Berkeley and earning a Master’s degree from Beijing’s Tsinghua University. Last year, Michelle Mao appeared alongside Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell as Smitty in the romantic film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. She also stars in Kogonada’s latest project Zi with Haley Lu Richardson, which premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival.
Her television work includes the Apple TV+ children’s series Surfside Girls, Goosebumps, and FBI: Most Wanted.
Isabella Wei Portrays Posy Li, the Kind-Hearted Stepsister
Hong Kong-born actor and dancer Isabella Wei joins the cast as Posy Li, the younger daughter of Lady Araminta. Unlike her mother and sister, Posy shows genuine kindness toward Sophie and occasionally tries to befriend her. The character arrives as something of a wallflower, similar to Penelope Featherington in earlier seasons.
Before her role in Bridgerton, Isabella Wei appeared in the Netflix mystery series 1899 as Ling Yi. She also played Kai-Ming in the Keira Knightley spy thriller Black Doves in 2024. Film audiences may recognize her as Zadie in the gothic superhero film The Crow, which starred Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs.
Wei initially trained as a dancer, performing hip-hop, contemporary, and jazz routines at Hong Kong’s Shouson Theatre before transitioning to screen acting.
Returning Cast Members You Already Know
The Bridgerton family remains central to the story, with Luke Thompson stepping into the leading role as Benedict Bridgerton. Thompson trained at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and earned an Olivier Award nomination for his portrayal of Willem in the stage adaptation of A Little Life in 2023.
Nicola Coughlan returns as Penelope Bridgerton, and fans will recognize her from the Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls where she played school girl Clare Devlin. She recently won a BAFTA for her role in the dark comedy Big Mood.
Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley reprise their roles as Anthony and Kate Bridgerton after Bailey’s massive year that included Jurassic World: Rebirth and Wicked: For Good. Bailey was even named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2025.
Claudia Jessie continues as Eloise Bridgerton, and viewers may know her from Line of Duty, Vanity Fair, or the Netflix miniseries Toxic Town.
Hannah Dodd plays Francesca Stirling after taking over the role from Ruby Stokes. Beyond Bridgerton, she has appeared in Anatomy of a Scandal, Enola Holmes 2, and Marvel’s Eternals. She recently made her West End debut as Sally Bowles in Cabaret.
Masali Baduza returns with more screen time as Michaela Stirling. South African audiences will recognize her from the lead role in the BBC’s adaptation of Noughts + Crosses and the historical film The Woman King.
Emma Naomi appears more frequently as Alice Mondrich this season. She recently starred in Lena Dunham’s Netflix series Too Much and has appeared in Death in Paradise.
Hugh Sachs joins the main cast as Brimsley after recurring in previous seasons. Longtime British television viewers will know him as Gavin Ramsbottom in Benidorm and from appearances in Footballers’ Wives, Foyle’s War, and The Catherine Tate Show.

What Happens in the Second Half of Season 4
The final episodes pick up after Sophie rejects Benedict’s proposal in Part 1. She refuses to live without legal status or dignity, even though she loves him. Benedict eventually discovers that Sophie is the Lady in Silver from the masquerade ball, but their happiness faces threats from Lady Araminta who wants to expose Sophie’s true identity.
The season concludes with Benedict and Sophie’s wedding, followed by a post-credits scene that sets up storylines for Season 5. Penelope steps away from her role as Lady Whistledown, and a new anonymous writer takes over the gossip column. Showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed that Julie Andrews adjusted her narration with a slightly different inflection for the new version of Whistledown.
Netflix has already renewed Bridgerton for Seasons 5 and 6, though the focus of the next season remains unconfirmed. Showrunner Jess Brownell has ruled out recasting Daphne or Simon, saying it would feel like a disservice to what Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page built in Season 1.
