‘Bridgerton Season 4’ cast salaries: The highest-paid actor earns 1 million pounds; it’s not the star you might expect

With ‘Bridgerton Season 4’ dropping soon, fans aren’t just here for the scandal and romance. They want to know: how much money are the stars taking home? Some numbers have started to leak, and they’re eye-opening. From the main cast to the instantly recognizable voices, here’s a look at how the Bridgerton cast is getting paid, in both pounds and dollars.

‘Bridgerton’: A hit show with big money

Since ‘Bridgerton’ first landed on a popular OTT platform in 2020, it’s exploded. Millions of people tune in every season. That kind of popularity? It comes with some pretty big paychecks. Salaries swing a lot depending on who you are, how much screen time you get, and how hard your agent fights for you.




So, who gets the biggest paycheck?

Here’s the kicker: as per FandomWire, the highest-paid cast member isn’t one of the glamorous on-screen leads. It’s Julie Andrews, the iconic voice behind Lady Whistledown. Reports say she’s earned a cool 1 million pounds (about USD 1.5 million) for continuing as the show’s sharp-tongued narrator. She never actually appears on camera, but her salary blows past most of the main actors.

‘Bridgerton Season 4’ cast salaries: Who earns how much

The streaming giant doesn’t spill all the details, but some solid estimates have come out:

Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Bridgerton): According to FandomWire, Dynevor, who was the star of ‘Bridgerton Season 1’ and helped launch the show in Season 1, reportedly made 400,000 pounds (around USD 600,000) for those early episodes.

Regé-Jean Page (Simon Basset): He left after Season 1, but the creators and producers of the already fan-favorite show wanted him back. They reportedly offered about 50,000 pounds per episode (roughly USD 75,000) for a guest return. However, all that money talk didn’t impress Regé-Jean Page, and he moved on to focus on other projects.

Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton): Bailey’s been the front and center in Season 3, and for Season 4, per FandomWire, People’s Sexiest Man Alive (2025) is making between USD 150,000 and USD 250,000 per episode. Over a full season, that adds up to a tidy sum—easily into the millions.

Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington): Coughlan’s pay has grown with her character’s importance. In later seasons, she’s reportedly earning about USD 250,000 per episode.

Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma): Ashley’s salary is a bit lower than the very top earners, but still solid—roughly USD 75,000 or more per episode as she takes on a bigger role in Season 4.

Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton): Newton’s estimated at USD 200,000 per episode as he keeps his spot in the main ensemble.

Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton): Thompson’s pay has jumped in recent seasons, now estimated at over USD 100,000 per episode as Benedict steps into the spotlight in Season 4.

Yerin Ha (Sophie Beckett): As a newcomer in Season 4, Yerin Ha is looking at USD 75,000–USD 100,000 per episode, which is a typical range for rising stars on big on these popular shows.

‘Bridgerton Season 4’: What’s coming

‘Bridgerton Season 4’ is finally giving Benedict his moment. Luke Thompson, who plays the artsy, unpredictable second Bridgerton brother, steps into the spotlight for a romance that’s sure to keep everyone hooked. This time, the story draws inspiration from Julia Quinn’s “An Offer from a Gentleman,” so get ready for a Cinderella spin. Benedict meets Sophie Beckett, a mysterious woman in disguise, at a glamorous ball, and everything changes. Their relationship promises a wild ride, packed with big emotions, clashes between love and family expectations, and all the high-society drama you’d expect.

We’re also meeting some new faces. Yerin Ha comes in as Sophie Beckett, and Katie Leung (yep, from Harry Potter) joins as Lady Araminta, both set to shake up the Bridgerton world.

Netflix, keeping up with its recent tradition, is splitting the season. The first half (Episodes 1–4) drops January 29, 2026. The rest (Episodes 5–8) follow on February 26, 2026.
