Despite some backlash to Benedict's controversial offer, his and Sophie's chemistry remained front and center during season 4 of Netflix's hit series Bridgerton. Based on Julia Quinn's third novel An Offer From a Gentleman, season 4 focused on Benedict's (Luke Thompson) love story with Sophie (Yerin Ha) when his world gets turned upside down after crossing paths with a mysterious woman in a Cinderella-inspired meet cute. Book fans knew that the season would be building up to an offer from Benedict to Sophie, which showrunner Jess Brownell defended after fan backlash.
