Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Luke Thompson (Dunkink, A Little Life) plays Benedict Bridgerton, falling head over heels for Yerin Ha’s (Halo, The Survivors) maid, Sophia. The trailer for the show’s second part released Friday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. View the Trailer below.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, part one ended with the two leads hugging on the house stairwell. During the last four episodes, Benedict must face possibly throwing away his position in the hierarchy to get his crush.
“I’ve had quite enough of the demands of society!” an exasperated Benedict exclaims at one point in the teaser below, as he faces being ostracized from society and his family to find true love.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, producer Jess Brownell (Off the Map, Scandal) announced that part one was “willing suspension of disbelief,” and Benedict “thinks of himself as being pretty progressive, he would never expect a maid to have been at a ball. It wouldn’t make sense, and it’s something he’s going to have to answer for in [Part 2], that he wasn’t able to recognize her. If part one is really about the fantasy, part two is in many ways the reality section of the season.”
The Hollywood Reporter continues by writing that Bridgerton fans will see what becomes of the love of Benedict and Sophie. There is so much build up and proof that not even titles or the house can keep their love apart.
The reported cast for season four is Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Jurassic World Rebirth), Victor Alli (Last Light, Rhyme Or Die), Adjoa Andoh (Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Movie, Invictus), Julie Andrews (Victor/Victoria, The Princess Diaries), Lorraine Ashbourne (Riot Women, Sherwood), Masali Baduza (Love and Wine), Nicola Coughlan (Big Mood, Derry Girls), Hannah Dodd (Find Me in Paris, Eternals), Daniel Francis (Don’t Move, Stay Close), Florence Hunt (Mix Tape, Queen at Sea), Martins Imhangbe (Samuel’s Trousers, Shit Happens), Claudia Jessie (Toxic Town, Line of Duty), Luke Newton (The Lodge, White Mars), Golda Rosheuvel (Grow, Eye for an Eye), Will Tilston (Goodbye Christopher Robin, Lorraine), Polly Walker (Bookish, Enchanted April), Emma Naomi (Professor T, Surprised by Oxford), and Hugh Sachs (Amadeus, Benidorm).
Part two of the fourth season returns on Netflix on February 26. It will have four episodes.
