Luke Thompson as Benedict Bridgerton Smiling in Bridgerton Season 3
Bridgerton season 4 will be adapting Benedict Bridgerton’s story, and the actress they cast to play his love interest is reviving a great trend that season 3 ignored. Aside from season 3, both of Bridgerton's first two seasons and its spin-off series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, featured an interracial main couple. This is due to both series taking place in a racially utopian alternate reality of Regency England.
Similarly to Cinderella, Sophie and Benedict meet incognito at the Bridgertons' masquerade ball, but she flees at midnight before telling him her identity. Unaware of who she is, Benedict is unable to find Sophie — whom he refers to as The Lady in Silver — for several years until she coincidentally winds up under the employ of his mother. What follows is a steamy affair, a plot to frame Sophie for theft, and a delightful rags-to-riches storyline.
Ha’s casting as Sophie Beckett continues Bridgerton’s trend of casting actors of color to portray the primary love interests of the Bridgerton siblings. In fact, Ha and Thompson as Sophie and Benedict marks the show’s fourth main interracial couple.
This was done in the hopes that audiences would accept this vague statement as a definitive answer. However, audiences were still willing to engage in the conversation of race in the Bridgerton world. Queen Charlotte revealed that the marriage between Charlotte and George not only led to the integration of racial minorities into high society, but to the popularization and acceptance of interracial marriages. This was called the Great Experiment.
