The streamer has now announced three new cast members coming on board for the fourth series.
Katie Leung is taking on the role of Lady Araminta Gun in upcoming episodes.
According to her character description, she is: “Twice married and twice widowed, Araminta has two girls debuting on the marriage mart this season and is feeling the pressure to get at least one of them married off.”
That being said, it is also clear that the character does not respond well to threats to her standing in society.
Katie is well-known for playing Cho Chang in the Harry Potter films and currently appears in BBC six-part drama Nightsleeper.
Also joining the cast is Michelle Mao, who set to portray Rosamund Li.
The character of Rosamund is described as: “Beautiful, vain, and eager to please her mother, Rosamund is Araminta’s eldest daughter and most prized possession.”
Having soon set her sights on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), will there be a new love match?
As for the actress, she has previously appeared in Netflix‘s Metal Lords and Apple TV+’s Surfside Girls.
Completing the onscreen family is Isabella Wei, in the role of Rosamund’s younger sister, Posy Li.
Described as “much kinder”, Posy receives the spotlight from her mother much less due to her chatty, friendly demeanour often resulting in putting her foot in her mouth.
Now on the marriage mart like her sister, will Posy be able to find a husband?
Isabella’s breakout role was as the mysterious Ling Yi in Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese’s Netflix series 1899.
Bridgerton was created by Chris Van Dusen, who previously worked on smash-hit series Grey’s Anatomy.
The programme’s current starring cast includes Adjoa Andoh, Derry Girls‘ Nicola Coughan and Broadchurch‘s Jonathan Bailey.
The legendary Dame Julie Andrews features in the show in a vocal capacity, voicing the character of Lady Whistledow.
Meanwhile, former stars of the Netflix hit include the likes of Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor.
Previous series of Bridgerton are available to stream on Netflix.
