At long last, Bridgerton season four is finally upon us! The hotly anticipated fourth season sees fan favorite Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) get his love story with new character Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). But will misunderstandings and meddling from other members of the ton ruin their chance at a happy ending?
While we can't answer that, we can tell you what the ages of Benedict, Sophie, and the other Bridgerton characters are. Here’s a rundown of what you need to know, with many of the details revealed in Julia Quinn’s An Offer From a Gentleman, which Bridgerton season four is based on.
