Why Benedict’s Story Has Been ‘The Easiest’ Bridgerton Book To Adapt, According To The Showrunner

The next season of the popular Netflix romance will focus on the story of Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha). It’s based on Julia Quinn’s novel, An Offer From a Gentleman, the third book in the Bridgerton series, and features a storyline similar to Cinderella. According to Jess Brownell, the showrunner, writer, and producer, adapting this book to the screen has been surprisingly straightforward, as she recently shared with EW.
