Wes Gibbons (Alfred Enoch) was a kind-hearted law student in How to Get Away with Murder, but who killed Wes Gibbins? When he was introduced as an aspiring lawyer in Annalise Keating's (Viola Davis) class, Wes seemed softer and more nervous than the others, and he became part of the Keating Five when covering up the death of Annalise's husband, Sam (Tom Verica). Wes and Laurel bonded, and after an intimate moment in season 3, Laurel ends up pregnant with their son, Christopher. Wes is who killed Sam, adding to his guilt and self-reflection.

Wes's death in season 3 is disturbing as it proves that none of the Keating 5 are safe. Wes and Annalise had a connection revealed in season 2, as Wes's mother, Rose (Kelsey Scott), was scared to testify against the son of Wallace Mahoney (Adam Arkin), a wealthy man who assaulted Rose, resulting in her pregnancy with Wes. After Rose took her own life,...

But the resourceful Sophie always finds a way to persevere through her circumstances — which will drastically change after she disguises herself to attend Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball and meets Benedict Bridgerton.”

Bridgerton has cast Yerin Ha as Sophie in the upcoming season 4. Sophie is Benedict Bridgerton's love interest from book 3, An Offer from a Gentleman. Yerin Ha is best known for the Halo series and the upcoming Dune: Prophecy.

Benedict's (Luke Thompson) love interest has been cast in Bridgerton season 4. The popular Netflix Regency era romance show is based on the novel by Julia Quinn. Just like the books, each season of the show focus on the romance of a different sibling in the wealthy and expansive Bridgerton family. So far the show has covered the courtships between Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (Reg-Jean Page), Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate (Simone Ashley), and Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), while Bridgerton season 4 will follow the Cinderella-inspired love story between Benedict and the previously unseen Sophie.

Per Variety, Bridgerton season 4 has cast Yerin Ha as Sophie Beckett, Benedict's love interest.

“Bridgerton” has cast Yerin Ha as Benedict Bridgerton’s love interest for Season 4.

According to sources, Ha will play Sophie Beckett in the upcoming season of the hit Shondaland-Netflix series. As previously announced, Season 4 will tell Benedict’s (Luke Thompson) love story and will be based on the events of Julia Quinn’s third “Bridgerton” novel, “An Offer From a Gentleman.”

Reps for Netflix and Shondaland declined to comment. Reps for Ha did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Per the official logline for the season, “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.”

Beckett is the “Lady in Silver.” In the novel, she is the illegitimate daughter of an earl and one his maids.

Bridgerton season 4 is now confirmed to feature another returning cast member. Based on the books by author Julia Quinn, the hit Netflix show premiered in 2020, following the various members of the Bridgerton family and their romantic exploits during the Regency Era in England. After a successful season 3 release earlier this summer, Bridgerton season 4 is confirmed, with numerous familiar characters expected to return.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Bridgerton season 3!

Additional love scenes between Penelope and Colin in Bridgerton season 3 are just rumors, reveal actor Nicola Coughlan and producer Tom Verica. Their romance is the steamiest so far, with two important love scenes, including one that is the longest in the show's history. While no extra love scenes were shown, future seasons might explore their relationship further, opening the door for more steaminess between them.

Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan and producer Tom Verica have offered definitive responses to rumors that a love scene between Penelope and Colin was cut from season 3. The main couple of the latest season get plenty of steamy scenes together, showcasing the ways in which they consummate their relationship with one another. However, rumors have circulated that another sex scene were filmed for Bridgerton season 3, the scene in question ending up on the cutting room floor prior to the show's release.

Bridgerton fans know that the series, as well as the spin-off Queen Charlotte, are based on historical events. It’s based in the early 19th century and some real-life historical figures appear in the show. England’s King George III and his queen consort Charlotte Mecklenburg-Strelitz are the central figures in the spin-off.

As much as viewers love Queen Charlotte, played by Golda Rosheuvel, it’s entirely possible her time on Bridgerton could be coming to an end. Season 3 takes place around 1815. The real queen died in 1818.

So does the production team have plans to kill off the beloved character on the show?

Historically, Queen Charlotte Would Have Died Within The Bridgerton Timeline

Bridgerton premiered on Netflix during the early days of the pandemic, captivating viewers around the world. Almost immediately, fans fell in love with Queen Charlotte, the snarky monarch with larger-than-life wigs.

While Golda Rosheuvel does a remarkable...

The Ton would not be the same without Queen Charlotte, who’s as much a fixture in Bridgerton as the Netflix drama’s titular family. But historically speaking, the fashionable royal consort is poised to die relatively soon.

Season 3 is set around 1815 and the beloved monarch’s real-life death occurs in November 1818 — mere months before the birth of her granddaughter, the future Queen Victoria.

Bridgerton seaon 3 part 2 introduced Francesca Bridgerton's future love interest, Michaela Stirling. The character has been gender-swapped from the book character Michael Stirling. Showrunner Jess Brownell wants to tell "a very nuanced story" about LGBTQ+ identity and love.

A Bridgerton showrunner has addressed a major character change from the original Julia Quinn novels from which the historical romance show, following the love lives of a large Regency-era family, is adapted. As the show gives way to the upcoming Bridgerton season 4, the final four season 3 episodes featured several revelations including the introduction of Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza), a gender-swapped version of Francesca Bridgerton's (Hannah Dodd) book 6 love interest, Michael. The character becomes a major player in her love life after the death of Francesca's current husband John Stirling (Victor Alli), also known as Lord Kilmartin.

Watching Bridgerton is like picking up your favourite novel and diving right back into it as if no time has passed. The first episode is titled ‘Out of The Shadows,’ it does exactly what it says. The episode starts by introducing a newly married Viscount and Viscountess Bridgterton. The happy Bridgerton family soars on with anxiety about Francesca’s debut while Eloise recovers from two heartbreaks – her fight with Penelope Featherington and her first heartbreak with Theo.

There is so much happening in season 3 that it might feel almost rushed.

Nearly a year after Queen Charlotte’s six-episode Season 1 binge drop, mega producer Shonda Rhimes — who wrote and served as showrunner on the series — is speaking on the potential for new episodes.

The Netflix drama told the story of Charlotte and George’s passionate romance and how their arranged union sparked a societal shift that resulted in the diverse world presented in Bridgerton. The season ended with the titular monarch and a rarely lucid King George in present day celebrating the news of their son Edward finally conceiving an heir.

But he starts to suspect that he knows the right man for her very well, know what I’m saying?

“Scandal” revolved around Kerry Washington’s Olivia Pope, a D.C. fixer who also happened to be having an affair with the very married President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn).

In keeping with the formula of previous seasons and the Julia Quinn novels they’re adapted from, this coming edition will follow the romantic journey of a new sibling in the elite Bridgerton clan in 19th century England.

Netflix has debuted a new batch of first-look images of Penelope and Colin’s budding romance in season 3 of ‘Bridgerton.’

Season 3 will be based on ‘Romancing Mister Bridgerton,’ the fourth book in Julia Quinn’s series. The third season finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) finally giving up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters.

But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder.

When reading actor Brian Cox's memoir "Putting the Rabbit in the Hat," I was disappointed that he didn't mention his work on David Fincher's superlative "Zodiac." Throughout the book, Cox shows no reluctance to burn bridges, and given his ribbing of "Succession" co-star Jeremy Strong's method acting, I was eager to see if he'd have similar words about Fincher's infamous perfectionism. Alas, no such stories exist.

True to its title, the 2007 "Zodiac" film is about the Zodiac killer, the still unidentified murderer who left Northern California quaking with fear as the 1960s closed. The film spans the 1960s to 1980s (with an epilogue in 1991), focusing on the killings and then Robert Graysmith's (Jake Gyllenhaal) investigation years later.

The third season of the hit Shondaland series will have a new showrunner, with Jess Brownell taking over from creator Chris Van Dusen, and will focus on Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) for what is sure to be the will-they-won’t-they romance talk of the ton. But, asking a similar question, the season will also focus on whether or not Penelope can repair her best friendship with Eloise (Claudia Jessie...

After finally giving up on her long-unrequited feelings for Colin once she heard his snide comments about her, Penelope has decided it’s time to take a husband — preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But her attempts so far haven’t sprouted any fruitful potentials.

Colin, on the other hand, returns for Season 3 with a new swagger about him, but he’s disheartened to find that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him, is giving him the cold shoulder. Desperate to mend their relationship, Colin offers his assistance to help Penelope build her confidence in order to...

Dearest Polin fans, you’ll be happy to learn that Netflix has revealed more images of Penelope and Colin’s love story in the upcoming third season of Bridgerton.

Season 3 — which is actually based on Romancing Mister Bridgerton, the fourth book in Julia Quinn’s series — finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) as she’s finally given up her crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing him disparage her to his friends last season. Instead, she’s focusing on finding a husband who will respect her independence so she may continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, away from her mother and sisters. Due to her lack of confidence, however, her search doesn’t go so well.

Meanwhile, Colin is back from his summer travels with a new look and major swagger. He is disheartened to learn that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder.

“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” has one of the most complicated, and yet stylistically unified, scores of any series this year — Kris Bowers‘ original score, the 18th-century period music, and a surprising number of string-quartet covers of 21st-century hits.

The Netflix series, a prequel to the 2021 hit “Bridgerton,” imagines a Black bride for England’s King George III in 1761, chronicling their initially rocky marriage and her gradual understanding of the monarch’s mental illness; flash-forwards to 1817 feature an older and wiser queen.

Bowers, who earned two Emmy nominations for his work, returned for the prequel but took a different approach. “This show needed a level of intimacy that the score for ‘Bridgerton’ doesn’t necessarily have,” he says. “My initial instinct was to write for a smaller ensemble, and to mic and mix the music in a way that was more intimate and tactile, a sense of closeness to the instruments.

When Bridgerton was first released in 2020, Arsema Thomas wanted so badly to be a part of that world she couldn’t even watch the hit Netflix period romance.

“I don’t know what it was, but sometimes when you see something that you want and you see that it’s already come and gone, it’s difficult to sit and enjoy it without thinking of that,” Thomas, 28, tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I think that was what was going through my mind, that this would be the perfect thing, the greatest thing… to see that it came and went and I didn’t hear of an audition, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m gutted. I don’t think I can ever watch this.’”

When the actress, who at the time was studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, heard there would be a second season of the Shonda Rhimes hit series,...

There is nothing “other” about HBO Max’s “The Other Two.”

The acclaimed comedy returned for its third season with two new episodes on May 4, wasting no time in reminding viewers and voters why it should be in the running for Best Comedy Series. The showbiz satire, which was created, written, directed and executive-produced by former “Saturday Night Live” writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, picks up in a post-pandemic world with self-obsessed siblings Cary (Drew Tarver) and Brooke (Heléne Yorke) having found success (or something close to it if you squint) as an actor and a manager, respectively. But although they have escaped the shadow of their younger brother Chase (Case Walker), neither can get out of their own way long enough to make real progress. With excellent supporting performances from Molly Shannon and Josh Segarra (the Mvp of every show he appears in), “The Other Two” is the...

Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”.

“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”, now streaming on Netflix, tackles King George III’s mental health struggle, and actor Corey Mylchreest — who portrays the young royal in the drama — has now spoken out about filming such scenes.

The “Bridgerton” spinoff tells the origin story of a young Charlotte (India Amarteifio) and her arranged marriage to George.

In real life, the King was never specifically diagnosed with a mental illness, but it’s been reported that he suffered multiple bouts of quite severe mental illness during his time on the throne.

“The series in itself is like a different beast,” Mylchreest told Variety of the spinoff. “It feels like ‘Bridgerton’ but it has maybe darker moments to it, and it’s a little bit grittier. So it feels like its own thing.”

Bridgerton seasons one and two were well-received Netflix originals. A show that gave the audience an alternate history version by reimagining a world where people from different races were part of the high society in England. Even though I had issues with the show, Bridgerton was path-breaking in its way. When stories from the pre-Victorian and Elizabethan eras are told and retold, Bridgerton comes across as a breath of fresh air when it comes to storytelling and music as well. We got to see Queen Charlotte, the cheeky older Queen of England who had a penchant for gossip but was also known for her strong personality. Keeping her character in mind, the makers of Bridgerton give us a spin-off, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which takes us back to a few decades ago when Charlotte was a young woman and was on the way to becoming King George III’s wife.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” now streaming on Netflix.

“Queen Charlotte” may be an extension of the “Bridgerton” universe, but its brand-new story by Shonda Rhimes is quite different, with a much more serious tone.

“The series in itself is like a different beast,” says Corey Mylchreest, who portrays young King George III in the Netflix drama. “It feels like ‘Bridgerton’ but it has maybe darker moments to it, and it’s a little bit grittier. So it feels like its own thing.”

The story of Queen Charlotte and King George III was briefly touched on in Season 2 of “Bridgerton,” but this prequel dives in to the origin story of a young Charlotte (India Amarteifio) as she embarks on her arranged marriage to a young King George. Charlotte’s fearlessness — especially as a Black woman marrying the King of England — changes the country,...
