BRIDGERTON STARTS SEASON 4 PRODUCTION WITH NEW CAST AND AN ENCHANTING NEW BACKLOT

Netflix and Shondaland announced today Bridgerton is back in production for Season 4. Bridgerton adds new cast Katie Leung (Lady Araminta Gun), Michelle Mao (Rosamund Li); Isabella Wei (Posy Li), and Emma Naomi (Alice Mondrich) and Hugh Sachs (Brimsley) will be part of the main cast this season. The new season will focus on the second Bridgerton son, Benedict (Luke Thompson) and his quest to find the mesmerizing Lady in Silver, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha).

New Cast Include:

· Katie Leung (she/her) (The Peripheral) has been cast as Lady Araminta Gun. Twice married and twice widowed, Araminta has two girls debuting on the marriage mart this season and is feeling the pressure to get at least one of them married off. Fabulous, discerning, and blunt, Araminta does not respond well when anything - or anyone - threatens her standing in society.

· Michelle Mao (she/her) (A Big Bold Beautiful Journey) has been cast as Rosamund Li. Beautiful, vain, and eager to please her mother, Rosamund is Araminta's eldest daughter and most prized possession. Rosamund sets her sights on Benedict Bridgerton this season and is determined to get what she wants.

· Isabella Wei (she/her) (1899) has been cast as Posy Li. Rosamund's younger sister, the much kinder Posy is also debuting this year. But her mother rarely puts the spotlight on Posy, as her chatty, overly friendly demeanor often has her putting her foot in her mouth. Emma Naomi (Alice Mondrich) and Hugh Sachs (Brimsley) will be part of the main cast this season.

Previously Announced Cast: Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), Yerin Ha (Sophie Baek), Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton), Victor Alli (Lord John Stirling), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Julie Andrews (Lady Whistledown), Lorraine Ashbourne (Mrs. Varley), Masali Baduza (Michaela Stirling), Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Bridgerton), Hannah Dodd (Francesca Stirling), Daniel Francis (Lord Marcus Anderson), Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton), Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton), Martins Imhangbe (Will Mondrich), Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Will Tilston (Gregory Bridgerton), and Polly Walker (Portia Featherington)

Bridgerton Expands Filming Footprint:

· This season, Bridgerton expands its filming locations on one of the newly constructed backlot of Shepperton Studios, showcasing exquisite replicas of Georgian and Regency architecture including homes, buildings, Mayfair Street and more. This milestone, 8 months in the making, promises to envelop the beloved show in an even more delightful and authentic atmosphere, transporting audiences to a world of Regency-era splendor. This regal undertaking was designed by Bridgerton Production Designer, Alison Gartshore along with Supervising Art Director Antony Cartlidge and Art Director Adam David Grant. The build spans approximately two acres of Netflix's backlot at Shepperton, marking a new chapter in the series' enchanting journey.

Additional Info About Bridgerton Season 4:

· Logline: The fourth season of Bridgerton turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict (Luke Thompson). Despite his elder and younger brothers both being happily married, Benedict is loath to settle down -- until he meets a captivating Lady in Silver at his mother's masquerade ball.

· Episode Count: 8

· Filming Location: London, UK

· Showrunner/ EP: Jess Brownell

· Executive Producers: Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Tom Verica, and Chris Van Dusen
