In Julia Quinn’s book An Offer from a Gentleman, which the hit Netflix series will next tackle, the rakish Benedict fell for Sophie, the orphaned, illegitimate daughter of the Earl of Penwood forced to work for her intolerable stepmother.
According to Netflix’s official description: “The resourceful Sophie always finds a way to persevere through her circumstances — which will drastically change after she disguises herself to attend Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball and meets Benedict Bridgerton.” (Watch a brief teaser below.)
The show hinted at Sophie’s arrival in the Season 3 finale, when Eloise commented on their mother Violet’s masquerade ball. The second-born Bridgerton noted his RSVP for the event, telling his sister, “I will be there, hiding out about behind a mask, avoiding eligible ladies like the plague.” As many book fans know, Benedict first met Sophie at that ball.
Season 4 “turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict,” per the official synopsis. “Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down — until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball.”
Although Benedict and Sophie’s romance occurred in the third installment of Quinn’s wildly popular book franchise, this spring’s Season 3 had skipped that romance to focus on Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Couglan). The latter’s friends-to-lovers arc, which wrapped Part 2 on June 13, resulted in a marriage and a male heir.
Our sister site Variety was first to report the news.
