WHAT’S TO COME FOR SEASON 4
According to the official logline on Season 4 of the hit series:
“The fourth season of ‘Bridgerton’ turns its focus to bohemian second son Benedict. 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.”
In the novel, Beckett is the illegitimate daughter of an earl and one of his maids. She was raised in her father’s home but he never publicly acknowledges her as his daughter. Collider reported that when it came to the casting of the character, there was a criteria for an “East Asian female” actress who could play the character between the ages of 24-30. Beckett is described as “plucky, endlessly resourceful, and has trouble trusting others.”

She is next set to appear in Max’s prequel series, Dune: Prophecy. The series is set for release in November on the streaming site.
