Interestingly, the upcoming season is based on the third book in Julia Quinn’s series, An Offer from a Gentleman, as the show changed the order, and the third season of the show was based on the fourth book.

Streaming platform Netflix will adapt all eight books, as each book focuses on the romantic lives of the eight siblings in the Bridgerton family, and according to Variety, the streamer has already renewed the show for Seasons 5 and 6.

According to Tudum, Yerin Ha states that she enjoyed the “fun, play-like quality” that is present in the show, and what attracted her to play Sophie was that her character had layers. “What drew me to Sophie was that she immediately has obstacles... Whether it’s this battle around social status or trying to hide her feelings from Benedict.”

On the other hand, Thompson states to Tudum that the new season displays the “struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale— the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world.”

Bridgerton Season 4 will be available on Netflix.
