Queen of our hearts and our favourite Bridgerton love interest Nicola Coughlan has given us an update on the hit series’ fourth season, which is currently filming.
‘It’s been great to take a step back and let them [the new romantic leads] do all the work,’ Coughlan told E! News at the Time Next 100 event in New York City in early October. ‘We’ve been filming for about a month now. But I’ve been able to go in and out, so I’ve been able to go to New York, which I couldn’t do last year, so that’s been great.’
‘It’s going to be amazing,’ the Derry Girls star added. ‘Luke and Yerin are working hard. They’re having a great time.’
As for the hit series’ future, Coughlan added: ‘I’m sure the show will last forever, there’s so many more love stories to tell.’
The fourth season of the series, which focuses on the story of Benedict Bridgerton and is based on the events of Julia Quinn’s third Bridgerton novel, An Offer From a Gentleman, will star Australian actor Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek, Benedict’s love interest. In the series, second son Benedict (Luke Thompson) is searching for a ‘lady in silver’ he meets at a masquerade ball, who turns out to be Sophie.
‘What’s remarkable about season four is the struggle between a very old-school fairy tale,’ Thompson told Netflix’s Tudum. ‘The romance of the story and the reality of the world.’
In a statement revealing the first image of Ha and Thompson on set, Netflix also released a brief synopsis for the fourth season. The streaming service noted that ‘The new season will focus on second son Bridgerton, Benedict, and his quest to find the alluring Lady in Silver, Sophie Baek.’
According to the upcoming series’ official logline, ‘The fourth season of Bridgerton focuses on bohemian middle son Benedict. Although both his older and younger brothers are happily married, Benedict is reluctant to settle down—until he meets a charming Lady in silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.’
