The Benedict-centric fourth season of Bridgerton, whose first half drops on Netflix January 29, is as lush and romantic as the series’ best love stories… and maybe even then some. Recommended VideosAdapted from the third book in Julia Quinn’s series, An Offer From A Gentlemen, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie’s (Yerin Ha) tale is known for its Cinderella-ness. As the proverbial Prince Charming, Benedict devotes himself to finding the fair maiden who escaped his grasp against all odds. There’s an evil stepmother, played chillingly by Katie Leung, and her two marriage minded daughters (Michelle Mao and Isabella Wei). I’ve been curious about how the An Offer From A Gentlemen season would fit within the larger series.
