"Netflix's hit period drama Bridgerton returned to screens last week, as the first four episodes of Season 4 were released 29 January. This season details LGBTQ+ character Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and a mysterious woman known as the Lady in Silver, with whom he gets caught up in a love affair with. Viewers know that she is actually a maid, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha)."
"Speaking in an interview with Variety on 29 January, showrunner Jess Brownell addressed Benedict's bisexuality and how the show has navigated his character ending up with a woman. "It's really important that just because someone might end up in a heterosexual-presenting relationship, that does not negate their queerness. "I think Benedict's queerness will always be a piece of his identity. "And when we were talking about representation, I don't think there's a lot of representation that I've seen of bisexual men," Brownell said."
Season 4 of Bridgerton centers on Benedict Bridgerton and a mysterious Lady in Silver who is revealed to be a maid, Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). The first four episodes were released on 29 January. Season 3 had highlighted Benedict's relationships with both men and women, and his bisexuality is signaled early in season four. Fans reacted by calling Benedict an icon. Showrunner Jess Brownell emphasized that a heterosexual-presenting relationship does not negate queerness, that Benedict's queerness remains part of his identity, and that visible representation of bisexual men is limited.
