Overview

• Netflix released a first-look poster featuring Yerin Ha as Sophie Baek and specified only a 2026 premiere year without a month or day.
• The poster depicts Sophie in a silver gown holding a mask, nodding to the season’s anticipated masquerade setting tied to Benedict’s storyline.
• Production wrapped in late June, with new cast additions including Katie Leung as Lady Araminta Gun and Michelle Mao and Isabella Wei as Rosamund and Posy Li.
• Showrunner Jess Brownell said Ha was the only choice for Sophie and noted Benedict’s on-screen characterization diverges from the novel due to Luke Thompson’s performance.
• Coverage highlights disappointment over the lack of a firm date and points to showrunner comments indicating roughly two-year gaps between seasons going forward.
