"The synopsis reads: "Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down." However, everything changes when he meets the captivating lady in silver, Sophie Baek ( Dune: Prophecy 's Yerin Ha), at his mother's masquerade ball. The teaser shows Benedict descending a staircase and passing Sophie, who is wearing a silver gown, long white gloves and a bejewelled silver mask. As they pass each other, the classic Bridgerton yearning stirs with just the slightest brush of a hand. In the final shot, we see one of Sophie's gloves lying on the floor."
"Thompson told Tudum: "Benedict has always been a little lost, or free, depending on the way you want to look at it. But now he's trying to find something a bit more solid in himself." Executive producer Shonda Rhimes described Benedict as "a charming man who's trying to find his way, he's delightful and funny". Benedict explored his sexuality in season three, flirting with polyamory as part of a throuple. But he is not the only queer character in the series."
A release date and new trailer have been announced for Bridgerton season four, which focuses on Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and adapts Julia Quinn's An Offer From a Gentleman. Benedict resists settling down until he meets Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) at a masquerade ball, where a brief encounter and a dropped glove hint at a budding romance. Benedict's character moves from a freer lifestyle toward seeking solidity. The series continues to foreground queer storylines, following Benedict's exploration of sexuality in season three and Francesca's developing lesbian relationship in season four.
