Yerin Ha as Sophie in ‘Bridgerton’ season 4. (Netflix)
(SPOILER ALERT) Make haste, dearest gentle reader, to watch the official trailer for part 2 of Bridgerton season 4.
Netflix has shared a brand-new trailer that shows off what will happen in the second half of the season centered around Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek’s (Yerin Ha) love story.
We see Benedict and Sophie seeking comfort in loved ones in the aftermath of Sophie denying Benedict’s proposal for her to be his mistress.
“Being a mistress is the last thing I would ever want,” Sophie says.
We also see Benedict’s reaction to Sophie’s rejection.
“How else am I to be with a woman society’s made it impossible for me to be with?” he says.
The trailer also ushers in the return of Jonathan Bailey’s Anthony Bridgerton and Simone Ashley’s Kate Bridgerton.
“You’ve convinced yourself that she is reason enough to risk everything,” Anthony tells Benedict in the trailer.
This fairy-tale fourth season of Bridgerton premiered its first part on Jan. 29. It found Benedict refusing to settle down, before meeting a mysterious woman at a masquerade ball. That woman turned out to be Sophie, a resourceful maid who now works at Bridgerton house after fate brings her back into Benedict’s life.
“Will Benedict’s inability to see these women as one in the same derail the undeniable spark between him and Sophie? And can love truly conquer anything — even a cross-class connection forbidden by society?” the season’s official synopsis reads.
Also starring in season 4 are Victor Alli, Masali Baduza, Nicola Coughlan, Hannah Dodd, Daniel Francis, Ruth Gemmell, Claudia Jessie, Luke Newton, Golda Rosheuvel, Isabella Wei, Michelle Mao and Katie Leung.
Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson in the upcoming film ‘Michael.’ (Lionsgate)
Jaafar Jackson opens up about his experience portraying the King of Pop in the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic.
“I knew how challenging this would be to take on playing Michael Jackson, and it was not easy. Definitely wasn’t,” he says in Becoming Michael, a featurette released by Universal Pictures UK.
“I love challenges and I wanted to prove to myself, my family and the filmmakers that I, I can do this,” he says, noting he rehearsed “for hours and hours upon hours until one single move was right” and at times danced “until my feet would bleed or them go numb.”
“There’s so many times I would wake up sore [and] be like, ‘Should I go rehearse? Should I just take a break and let the body relax?’ Then the other part of me would be like, ‘No what would Michael do?'” he recalls.
When it was go time and he was in full costume, Jaafar says, “I had a couple moments to myself just saying like, ‘Wow. I’m really here. There’s no going back. It’s time to go out there and put on the best show ever.'”
Becoming Michael, now available on YouTube, also features behind-the-scenes moments of Jaafar on set practicing the choreography and includes interviews with Michael director Antoine Fuqua and producer Graham King.
Michael will give fans a front-row seat to the King of Pop’s life and career. Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi, Miles Teller and Colman Domingo also star.
Early Access screenings in IMAX and Dolby will take place April 22; tickets are available on advance ticket sites. The film will then premiere April 24 in theaters nationwide, with tickets going on sale March 26.
