LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- Embargo lifts Thursday 1/29 3:01 AM ET
Bridgerton Season 4 Part 1, premiering Thursday on Netflix, centers on a new character and her romance while catching up with the series regulars. Benedict Bridgerton comes to the fore, with the new addition Sophie Baek adding a new element to the series.
Sophie (Yerin Ha) secretly attends the first masquerade ball of the season. There, she is the only woman who appeals to Benedict (Luke Thompson) because her sincere joy stands apart from the regulars who are there with an agenda.
Alas, Sophie does not reveal her identity because she does not belong there. She is a maid for the Li family.
Benedict spends the next episode searching for the mystery woman in the silver dress. This enlists his sister Eloise (Claudia Jessie), whom this season presents at her most endearing, and that's saying a lot after three seasons of Eloise.
