In May 2024, showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed that the script was in the early stages toRefinery29,teasing that they were “in the middle of writing it right now."

Early on, Quinn confirmed to PEOPLE that she knew who would be at the center of the story, but she couldn’t share anything at the time. It didn’t take long for Netflix to confirm that it would finally be Benedict’s turn — just as fans theorized.

Netflix revealed the news in anInstagrampost shared in July 2024 that featured clips of Benedict’s scenes from the series. The caption said, “welcome to the marriage mart mr. bridgerton. benedict’s story is coming next season.”

Another update came in September, whenTudumshared that Sophie and Benedict will cross paths at a masquerade ball that she disguised herself to attend, despite the fact that she’s not usually on the Bridgertons' guest list.

“As avictim of tragic events, Sophie has been forced to spend much of her life working for the most demanding employer in the ton. But the resourceful Sophie always finds a way to persevere through her circumstances,” Tudum shared.

Since Ha is Korean, the character’s name has been changed from what it was in the book, Sophie Beckett, to Sophie Baek.

“To make Sophie’s name fit someone who looks like me is really empowering,” she said. “It’s a really nice way for me to feel like the role is fit for me, rather than me having to fit a certain mold.”

Speaking toTudumthe same month, Thompson said that the season will focus on “the struggle between a proper old-school fairy tale — the romance of it — and the actual reality of the world.”
