Bridgerton's Season 4 Coming Out Scene Is 'Hugely Important', Says Showrunner

Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson as seen in the fourth season of Bridgerton

The latest season of Bridgerton has received widespread praise for its touching coming out scene, which sees Benedict opening up to Sophie about his sexuality.

Luke Thompson’s character was confirmed to be queer during the show’s third run, where he was seen engaging in trysts with both men and women.

Benedict is Bridgerton’s first openly queer lead character, and his coming out scene took the show’s writers into new territory.
