Bridgerton season 4 expands the world by spotlighting the ton’s working class and adding East Asian characters, notably Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) whose masquerade romance with Benedict Bridgerton blends Cinderella vibes with class-bound drama. New cast members Katie Leung, Isabella Wei and Michelle Mao broaden the world while Francesca Bridgerton’s arc deepens after John Stirling’s death, with Michaela Stirling joining the story.
