00:00Dearest reader, it's Valentine's Day, aka the day of love, so who better to spend it
00:23with than the cast of Bridgerton Season 4?
00:36Hello, lovely to see you again.
00:38How are you?
00:39Can we just please take a moment for this outfit?
00:42Thank you so much.
00:43It's like giving Valentine's, it's giving Cupid.
00:46You're just, it's a vision in red, lady in red.
00:48That's so nice!
00:49Sophia, London.
00:51The e-hangers as well, everything.
00:54And these cool rings.
00:55Stop it.
00:56It all goes right back.
00:58But I love it.
00:59To my stylist.
01:00Now that I've got the fangirling out of the way.
01:02I have been an OG fan of Bridgerton.
01:05I'm so excited for Season 4.
01:07Tell me, what do you think it is that keeps making us want to come back for more?
01:11You know, something that's really special about the show is just getting to reinvent
01:14it every season.
01:16You know, a lot of times, especially with romances, if people are getting together,
01:20breaking up, getting back together, you lose steam.
01:23But we get to craft these perfect little happy endings.
01:27And then we get to move on to another couple and tell a story with a different tone.
01:32And that's just pure joy.
01:34And how important is it getting the right cast?
01:37Hugely.
01:38That's everything.
01:39You know, I think romance stories are made or broken on the chemistry of the leads.
01:44And, you know, it would be pretty hard not to have chemistry with Luke Thompson.
01:48But it was important that someone match his level.
01:52Because as a performer, he is a very strong presence.
01:56And as a character, he's also someone who has lived a lot of life.
02:01So even though Sophie is someone who has been sheltered in a lot of ways, we needed to feel
02:07like she had deep inner strength to go toe to toe with him.
02:11Listen, you're a lady in red and you're a lady in demand.
02:14So I've got to let you get on.
02:15But happy Valentine's Day.
02:16You look incredible.
02:18Happy Valentine's.
02:19Happy Galentine's.
02:20Happy Galentine's.
02:21Yes.
02:22Cute.
02:29Well, hello.
02:30How are you?
02:31It's so nice to see you.
02:34I feel like I need to give you a hug now as well.
02:36Now that we've done it.
02:38Introduce yourself.
02:39Hello.
02:40Your Majesty.
02:41I must bow.
02:42My curtsy needs some work.
02:43I'm not used to that.
02:44It's so amazing to see you.
02:46Lovely to meet you as well.
02:48Is this the first time that you've interviewed?
02:50I think it is the first time we've met.
02:51Yes.
02:52I wouldn't have forgotten you.
02:53In a good way.
02:54On Valentine's Day as well.
02:55I feel like you've become my Valentine actually after that comment.
02:58That's made me feel very happy.
03:00It's so good to see you both.
03:01You know I've been an OG fan of this since the beginning.
03:04What do you think it is that keeps making us want to come back for more?
03:08Gosh.
03:09I think it's because everyone wants to fall in love.
03:12And it's something everyone can relate to.
03:14A lot of dramas would be driven by violence or crime.
03:19Politics.
03:20Not many of us come into touch with that.
03:22But most of us want to and can fall in love.
03:26And have that yearning.
03:29So it's completely relatable.
03:31I think all the fox as well.
03:33And the balls and the glamorous side of that.
03:37It's wonderful to immerse yourself into.
03:40What is the Queen going to be wearing this season?
03:43That kind of vibe.
03:44And I think we do it really, really well with this show.
03:47And on that note, I am desperate to be Queen Charlotte's Diamond of the Season.
03:53What does it take?
03:54What does she look for?
03:56Gosh.
03:57I think she looks for something that she recognises possibly within herself.
04:04Possibly within her own world.
04:07I think she's very much an empowerment person.
04:13I think that's really important.
04:15So having Hannah last season as the Diamond,
04:21Charlotte saw an independence there.
04:25Charlotte saw somebody who didn't give a about society all the time.
04:31And I think that intrigued her.
04:34So it's something that is out of the norm of what society would think.
04:42Which sparks that curiosity.
04:45Well listen, I need to let you go on.
04:47But thank you for being my Valentine.
04:48No, it's a pleasure.
04:49It was so lovely to meet you.
04:50And so lovely to see you again, my Queen.
04:52You too, sweetheart.
04:53Thank you so much.
05:04Happy Valentine's Day.
05:05Happy Valentine's Day to you too.
05:07Listen, this is absolutely massive.
05:09I've been a fan of the show since the beginning.
05:12I know it's really hard to sum up,
05:14but how much of an honour is it for you getting to step into the Bridgerton world?
05:19Oh my gosh, it's a massive honour.
05:21And there's a lot of pressure laying on my shoulders and pressing me down.
05:26But I'm just trying to stay truthful to the story
05:29And I'm just trying to stay truthful to the story
05:31and truthful to the character from the book that people love.
05:35And I'm just trying to do a good job.
05:38You're absolutely well. I've got faith in you.
05:40And what was it like when you got that call telling you that you got the part?
05:44Tears.
05:45Tears, jumping, screaming.
05:48People on the sidewalk were like, what's wrong with that girl?
05:51But it was just that kind of news you don't get very often.
05:55Especially for a show like Bridgerton.
05:57So it really was like a dream come true.
06:00Absolutely. And what are you feeling the pressure the most about?
06:02Is it the fact that it's going to be the love story?
06:05It's going to be focused on you?
06:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:07I think it's because a lot of the fans love the book so much.
06:12I hope that we do it justice enough and that it translates on screen.
06:18But also that I hope fans are happy with the chemistry that Luke and I have
06:23as Sophie and Benedict, or Benefee.
06:26So yeah.
06:27And finally, it feels like Bridgerton has just one big family.
06:30I'm sure they've welcomed you with open arms.
06:32Yeah, everyone.
06:34Genuinely what you see on social media is what you get.
06:36Because I was a bit like, is this real?
06:39But it genuinely is.
06:40Everyone is so, so, so sweet and so kind.
06:44And work doesn't feel like work.
06:47Well, welcome. And from the teaser, I think you're going to absolutely smash it.
06:51I can't wait to see the rest.
06:52Thank you so much.
06:53Nice to see you.
07:04Happy Valentine's Day.
07:05Thank you very much.
07:06How are you doing?
07:07I'm really good. I really missed it.
07:09I'm very, very excited.
07:11As you know, I've been an OG fan of Bridgerton since day one.
07:15How special is it as an actor getting to continue on in this journey
07:20and now stepping into the main Bridgerton lead in season four?
07:23I know, I know. It's amazing.
07:25I was talking to Claudia about this the other day.
07:28We were talking with Flo, actually.
07:31Florence plays Hyacinth.
07:33She was saying, is this the longest part you've ever played?
07:37And I was, yeah, I mean, obviously.
07:38I've played this part for six years now.
07:40It's probably the longest part I'll ever play, you know, in terms of like that.
07:44So it's amazing to get that sort of long run up
07:47and then to be able to, you know, tell the story in full Technicolor,
07:51I think it's really exciting.
07:53And let's get all lovey-dovey about Bridgerton
07:55because it's Valentine's Day, why not?
07:57What has this role and being a part of this world and this show meant to you?
08:02It's huge. It's huge.
08:04I think as an actor, what you want to do is live in people's imaginations.
08:12That's sort of like the lovely thing about the job.
08:15And to get to do that on that scale, to live in millions of people's imaginations,
08:21I mean, it's life-changing.
08:24And it feels like it's just so fulfilling.
08:27It's probably like the most, I feel like, a very fulfilled actor.
08:31And tell me, what is the secret to the Bridgerton chemistry?
08:35Because it's insane.
08:37Good casting.
08:38I think it's just sensitive, careful, thought-through casting.
08:43So there's a whole team behind it that are very carefully building,
08:46not just in terms of physical resemblance,
08:48but also just finding that team that will work.
08:53So, yeah, it's them.
08:55Well, I need to let you get on, but I cannot wait to see what's in store.
08:58Yeah, same.
08:59Happy Valentine's Day.
09:01See you later.
09:12Happy Valentine's Day.
