Benedict is the second-oldest sibling of the royal family after Anthony, whose romance with Kate Sharma was shown in Season 2. Benedict has been on the sidelines for the last couple of seasons, but the official X account for the hit Netflix show has recently announced that it is his time to shine.

The story is to be adapted from An Offer from a Gentleman, the third book of the series written by Julia Quinn. Sophie Beckett is the love interest of Benedict, and their story is nothing short of a version of the popular fairytale Cinderella.

Benedict and Sophie meet at a masquerade ball, and by the end of the night, they both become certain that they have met their soulmate. However, Sophie runs away from there, leaving Benedict pining for the Lady in Silver. For two years, he searched for the woman who had his heart to no avail.

They meet again after two years, but this time Sophie goes by her name. This puts Benedict in a conflict between the Lady in Silver and Sophie, unaware of the fact that they both are the same person. This is probably the best Bridgerton story of all so far.

Sophie Beckett is the illegitimate daughter of Earl of Penwood, who refuses to accept her as his child but raises her as his ward. Later on, he married Araminta who was stepmother to Sophie, who was treated like a servant to Araminta and her daughters Rosamund and Posy.

Choosing to escape the brutality, Sophie ran away at 21 years old. She wishes for the things her father could never provide for her, a loving family and a secure life. The novel also sees her struggle as a working-class woman in the Regency era who has vowed to never have an illegitimate child for fear of having the kid go through the same things as her.

Overall, she is a kind and resilient woman, well-suited for Benedict. While Benedict is portrayed by Luke Thompson in the show, the identity of the actress playing Sophie is not revealed yet.
