Netflix confirms THIS character as lead for 'Bridgerton' season 4

Netflix's Bridgerton 4 is shining a spotlight on its latest casting choice!

Breaking the news via its official Instagram handle on Tuesday, July 23, the renowned American streaming service shared a video that unveiled Benedict Bridgerton (played by Luke Thompson), seizing the spotlight in the upcoming sequel.

Revealing the name, the caption read, "Welcome to the marriage mart mr. Bridgerton. Benedict's story is coming next season."

The highly anticipated teaser saw the second Bridgerton son taking the lead; however, the platform did not reveal anything regarding Sophie Beckett's return in the forthcoming follow-up.

Bridgerton's ardent fans couldn't contain their excitement and soon reached the comment section to express their views and love.

"Best announcement ever. I am screaming my lungs out!" wrote a fan, while another penned, "Finally, Ben season."

The third admirer commented, "Benedict is finally getting his time. I might have to watch it again. So excited."

"We want Sophie! Their love is so amazing and romantic," added the fourth.

As the discussions about the upcoming season surfaced, Thompson's Benedict was already expected to step in the lead role.

However, the actor, in an interview with The Views, expressed uncertainty about what direction the series might take in the new season.

"I don't know," said the In the Club actor.

Bridgerton, which first premiered in 2020, was a streaming hit on Netflix.
