'Harry Potter' star to appear in new season of 'Bridgertons': what role she has been cast in

British actress, star of "Harry Potter", who played the role of Zhou Chang in the movie universe, Katie Leung will join the team ofthe popular series from Netflix"The Bridgertons" in season 4. The role fell for her to play the main antagonist, the twice widowed Lady Araminta Gan, who is trying to get her two daughters married off.

Cathy Ljung will be a straightforward and somewhat bitchy woman in "The Bridgertons," Entertainment Weekly reported. Roles of arrogant women are probably the actress' specialty.

"Fabulous, picky and straightforward, Araminta reacts badly when something or someone threatens her standing in society," the character explanation for her character reads.

Her daughters Posie Lee and Rosamaund Lee, played by Isabella Wei and Michelle Mao respectively, have very different personalities. Rosamaund is "beautiful, vain, with a desire to please her mother," having had her eye on the season's main character Benedict. Pose, on the other hand, is described by the writers as "a much kinder but simultaneously chatty sister with a bad habit of gagging."

"What's striking about season four is the struggle between the true old-school fairy tale: its romance and the real reality of the world. Both are true. You have to hold them both - the romance and the reality - in your hands. At best, 'true love' happens in the middle of it," commented actor Luke Thomson, who plays Benedict in the series.

Moreover, this season was inspired by the all-famous fairy tale of Cinderella. Many aspects coincide in the stories, such as a harsh woman who tries to marry off her two daughters and the main character's acquaintance with a mysterious girl at a ball.

"The scripts that Jess Bromwell and her team have come up with are the bomb. They are very, very, very, very entertaining. The storyline is a kind of twist on the Cinderella fairy tale. You remember being told these stories as a child - the magic and romance of these stories. It's really fascinating that it's all woven into the world we know of the Bridgertons. It's such a wonderful story, but it's also, I hope, very close to us," the actor added.

The release date of season 4 of "Bridgertons" is still unknown, but earlier the network circulated that it will consist of eight episodes, and filming will begin soon.
