Could Masali Baduza Be Bridgerton's Season 3 Sophie? Fans Sure Think So

Netflix's hit romance series adapting Julia Quinn's series of novels set in fictional Regency-era England hasn't stopped exciting everyone since the first season premiered in 2020.

And now that anticipation for season three has reached a climax, it's no surprise that fans are looking for hints about the plot of the upcoming installment from every possible source.

While season three will center around Penelope and Colin's relationship, many fans are confident that the main character of season four, Sophie, will be finally revealed in the near future.

Now That Bridgerton Season 3 Wrapped Up Filming, Here Is the Most Possible Release Window

And it looks like we'll finally find out who the lucky actress playing Sophie will be, as one fan on Reddit has presented a pretty convincing theory explaining everything.

According to the fan, the filming of season three took place in three or four blocks, which means that many of the actors didn't even see each other on set. This explains why none of the actors have blabbed about someone else being cast as Sophie, as series producer Shonda Rhimes is doing her best to hide spoilers from the public.

This means that most of the cast didn't see the actress playing Sophie until the Season 3 wrap party, where she certainly appeared. And it seems that this opinion is entirely correct, as one fan noticed that after the party, Shonda Rhimes and some of the Bridgerton cast had a new follower, and they followed her back.

And that follower is none other than up-and-coming actress Masali Baduza, who had a supporting role in Woman King and starred in the BBC adaptation of Noughts + Crosses.

While it has yet to be confirmed that Baduza will play Sophie, she will definitely be part of season three of Bridgerton, and fans have made no secret of their happiness about it.

Baduza is exactly the right person to fit into the Bridgerton family, as her career is just beginning and being part of such a great show will surely allow her to develop much better than in any other scenario.
