As a dedicated fan who has had the pleasure of watching Bridgerton since its inception, I am absolutely thrilled about the casting of Luke Thompson as the lead for Season 4. Having seen Simone Ashley’s glowing endorsement of him, I can only imagine that he will bring a captivating charm to the role. His warmth and kindness, as described by Ashley, are qualities that truly resonate with the essence of the Bridgerton world.


Simone Ashley expresses high confidence in Luke Thompson’s abilities to play the ideal Bridgerton lead for Season 4 of the popular Netflix series set in Regency-era England. In a recent interview with People, the actress aged 29, who co-starred in Season 2 with Jonathan Bailey, shared three words she believes describe Thompson’s performance in the upcoming season.

In a recent interview, Ashley, who’s currently featured in Hulu’s The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland, couldn’t help but shower praise on Thompson. She described him as captivating, enchanting, and exceptionally talented. Moreover, she shared warm feelings for him, labeling him as an outstanding individual and the most kind-hearted person she’s encountered. Reflecting on her initial days on set, she fondly remembered his warm welcome and how considerate he always was towards her.

In response to being queried about the possibility of featuring more scenes with her character Ashley (as Kate Bridgerton) and her onscreen spouse Bailey’s (Anthony Bridgerton), Ashley replied with a hint of mischief, “Absolutely, count on it!

Ashley enthusiastically explained how the intricate nature of the characters, both for herself as Ashley and Bailey in their roles, along with the delightful romantic elements, captivated them to participate in the show’s cast.

According to the report on Netflix’s Tudum, the fourth season of Bridgerton will focus on the romantic relationship between Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Beck, portrayed by actress Yerin Ha.

In the face of unfortunate circumstances, Sophie has had to devote a large part of her life to a very challenging job within high society. However, Sophie, who is incredibly resilient, manages to push forward and endure despite her difficult situation, as reported by Tudum.

During an interview with Netflix’s companion site in September, Luke Thompson hinted at some surprises, one of which involves a significant twist happening at a masked ball. However, he did not disclose the specific details about this twist.

As an over-the-moon fan, let me share some exciting news! Not only will Thompson, Nicola Coughlan, and Luke Newton continue their captivating performances in the next season of Bridgerton, but we’ll also welcome a new talent, Ha, to the series. Moreover, Katie Leung, Michelle Mao, and Isabella Wei are joining the cast as well, adding fresh energy to our beloved show!
