Having previously been led by such stars as Kate Winslet, Lesley Manville, Letitia Wright, and more, the Bridgerton alum will join an esteemed list for the show’s season four.

The new season will be called I Am Helen, while the 38-year-old Irish actress will also be joined by Peaky Blinders actor Joe Cole.

Following her acknowledgement of the show’s creator, she further added, “To follow in the footsteps of the brilliant women who’ve collaborated with him on this series feels truly surreal, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be embarking on this journey.”

Meanwhile, the TV star’s new announcement comes on the heels of another one of her considerable achievements.
