Day one of rapper ASAP Rocky’s assault trial served as a reminder of just how small Hollywood can be.
Thomas Zizzo Jr., a Los Angeles police officer and son of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, took the stand on Friday, January 14, during day one of the Grammy award-winning rapper’s trial, TMZreported.
Rocky, 36, faces two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm related to a 2021 shooting incident in Hollywood. He is accused of firing two or three shots at Terell Ephron, a childhood friend. According to the Associated Press, Ephron claims the alleged shots “grazed his knuckles. The rapper has pleaded not guilty.
The rapper faces up to 24 years in prison if convicted.
Zizzo was one of the first LAPD officers to respond to the scene of the alleged 2021 incident, TMZ reports. While on the stand, the officer reportedly “testified about what he saw at the scene when he arrived.”

Zizzo has remained out of the public spotlight despite his mother’s reality television fame — he has never appeared on RHOBH and is not featured on his mom Jayne’s social media pages. As TMZ notes, his absence from her social media accounts deliberate — she says she does not post about her son “out of respect for his privacy as a police officer.”
Jayne shares her son with ex-husband Thomas Zizzo. The pair divorced shortly after their son was born in 1992. In 2022, Jayne spoke out about her close bond with her son and ex-husband following the legal and financial struggles she faced in the wake of her separation from Tom Girardi in November 2020.
“People don’t understand this, but we’re actually pretty tight,” Jayne said of her ex-husband, Thomas, and her son at the time. “They have been very supportive of me, and I’m very grateful.
She went on to say that the “silver lining” of her separation from Girardi was how it strengthened her relationship with her son.
“My son and I, we’ve really come together,” she explained. “He’ll be 30 in June. Jesus. I just remember walking around here in New York being pregnant with him, but he’ll be 30. And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this adult perspective, and it’s really nice.”
While Jayne’s son was present in court on Friday, Rocky’s partner, Rihanna, was notably absent on Thursday, January 23, during jury selection. According to the Associated Press, however, she was the topic of multiple questions.
“What if Rihanna comes here to court, is it going to be hard for you to look over there and see the defendant’s family and deliver a guilty verdict?” Deputy District Attorney John Lewin asked one prospective juror.
“Yes,” the woman reportedly answered.
Rocky and Rihanna have been together since 2019 and share two sons: RZA and Riot Rose.
WWE superstar Nia Jax admitted things aren’t always hunky dory with every member of the women’s locker room.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the reigning WWE Queen of the Ring, 40, hesitated when asked if all the wrestlers on the roster got along backstage.
“Is this the politically right answer?” Jax asked Us with a smile. “Should I tell you the real tea?”
After a moment of hesitation, Jax hinted at some tense relationships with a handful of other wrestlers on the roster.
“There might be a couple that we’re like, ‘Yo, sit outside. We don’t really want you in here,’” Jax revealed. “I’m not gonna say any names. We’ll keep it quiet.”

Despite a bad egg or two, Jax said things are usually quite pleasant amongst herself and her fellow superstars.
“For the most part in our women’s locker room, we all get along,” she explained. “We’re willing to help each other out … If one of us is like, ‘Hey, I’m about to do a promo, a match and a brawl, I need food,’ the girls are like, ‘Hey, whatever you need.’ We do really support each other.”
Due to the hectic schedule of life in WWE — where wrestlers are sometimes on the road 300 days of the year — Jax said members of the locker room become more than friends.
“There’s times where we are each other’s family,” she explained. “At the end of the time, I’m with them 90 percent of the time. We have to turn to each other and really have a bond.”
She added, “If I could ever expose some of the behind-the-scenes stuff, it would be the best reality show ever.”
Jax will go one-on-one with WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley at Saturday Night’s Main Event on Saturday, January 25, which is a match that Jax promoted as a feast for all the senses.
“I’m not gonna be shy, we’re beautiful women,” Jax said of her and Ripley, 28. “We’re bold, beautiful women, and we are also athletes. So going out there and showing, ‘Yeah, the guys are doing an amazing job, but we’re doing just as good.’ We’re bringing a whole different kind of audience.”
She added, “Young women see us out there and they’re like, ‘Holy crap, I could do something like that.’ Every time we’ve been given this opportunity, we’ve been killing it.”
Watch Jax and Ripley battle when WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event airs live on NBC Saturday, January 25, at 8 p.m. ET.
Hannah Brown and her fiancé, Adam Woolard, are no longer living in the same house after re-examining their relationship goals.
“We, kind of, went on a journey together,” Brown, 30, said in a Thursday, January 23, Instagram Story video. “I’ve been a believer, but I think I was really questioning a lot about my faith and in God and my direction. Adam had been searching for a while but didn’t have that.”
Woolard, who proposed to the former Bachelorette in August 2023, ultimately decided to get baptized before they both decided to “get so involved in [their] church and really go all-in.”
“We really had to get honest with like, ‘OK, we say we want to go all in with our relationship, like be completely on fire for God, but what are areas that we’re kind of just like holding back?’” Brown said. “There were a few. I mean, finances were hard for me and our just relationship in general could be tough when it comes to believing and honoring what God has for marriage — and that being living together.”
She continued, “We have lived together [since] eight months into our relationship and we decided to just trust God and we are not living in this house together until we get married this summer. It was obviously a big decision and very different and new, but we both separately were having these thoughts in our prayer and just feeling the Lord to call us to do this.”
According to Brown, their relationship has been “really great” since the pair relocated to separate residences.
“I felt the most connected to Adam that I ever had because we are so intentional about the time that we have together,” she gushed. “[I’m] excited for what God has for our marriage. I really am.”
Brown and Woolard started dating in 2021, three years before getting engaged. Prior to their engagement, they moved from Los Angeles to Nashville. The duo purchased their first home together in October 2024.
“We’re officially homeowners! Having a house to make a home has been a life dream of mine,” Brown wrote via Instagram at the time. “I am so honored to be able to create spaces that will hold precious memories and to live the big and small life moments between the walls. This house is so sweet already, but to make this OUR family home will be the greatest privilege.”
Just before buying their dream property, Brown told Us Weeklythat wedding planning was “on the back burner for a while.”
“There’s been a lot going on,” she exclusively told Us in July 2024. “Right now [I’m] trying to work on wedding planning. I’m excited.”
Now that Brown and Woolard have presumably started preparing for their special day, they are also figuring out what their marriage will look like after walking down the aisle.
“A lot of you guys were asking about the little value session that Adam and I did. Our therapist kind of created this for us and also with her other clients,” Brown added on Thursday. “It’s something that can definitely be a pain point at sometimes. … One thing that [our therapist] Jordan said to us, ‘If you don’t declare your values, your values will still choose you.’ We’re all living a certain way and sometimes there are values we say we want to live, but don’t align with the ones we are living out. And so, I wanted to get really honest with that with ourselves.”
Brown and Woolard were then able to get “clarity on what it is that [they] care about” and figure out how to adapt their lives around those perspectives.
“It was really impactful for us and it’s still something that we’re learning more about,” she added. “I really am just, like, so proud of Adam and I because people that started dating almost four years ago are not the same people now.”
There are some celebrities who give me a warm and fuzzy feeling, like Jennifer Garner. You can just tell she’s an angelic being! I try to emulate her aura every day, from her sweet disposition all the way down to her outfits. And let me tell you, the actress has stellar taste when it comes to winter fashion.
On numerous occasions, Garner has been spotted rocking a classic cable-knit sweater. There’s something so timeless about this chunky style — the design spans generations and genders, and anyone can and will look amazing while wearing it! Plus, a cable-knit sweater is one of those items that you’ll keep reaching for for decades. If you don’t own any, I recommend starting with the Lillusory Cable Knit Sweater on Amazon.
This affordable pick has all of the elements you want in a cable-knit: The design is clean and succinct, it comes in a variety of colors and offers plenty of versatility. Similar to one of Garner’s more recent looks, it’s also form-fitting enough that it will accentuate your figure, but loose enough that it makes for a wonderful layering piece, too.
Shoppers who have purchased it say they’ve found their new favorite sweater. “I was hesitant because I was afraid the fabric on this would be cheap but it’s deliciously soft and of excellent quality,” one reviewer wrote.“This is so soft and fits perfectly. I live in the Southwest so sweaters are usually too hot for me, but during cooler temps this is perfect. I got the cream so I can also wear this in the summer when we travel to the Northeast and the nights are cool. You can dress it down or up or layer a heavier turtle neck underneath if you need more warmth. It’s lightweight but warm and it looks very pretty. I’ll definitely be buying more.”
The Lillusory Cable Knit Sweater is definitely worth every penny, but if this specific option isn’t your vibe, don’t fret — we compiled plenty of alternatives below. Now you can find a cable knit sweater that speaks to you!
Justin Baldoni’s mother, Sharon Baldoni, reflected on the importance and perseverance of “justice and truth” on her son’s birthday in light of his ongoing legal drama with actress and It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively.
“Happy Birthday Justin ~ remembering a wonderful moment after the final ending of Jane The Virgin,” Sharon wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 24, sharing set photos from Justin’s tenure on The CW telenovela. “[It was] a moment where joy and love permeated the set, where friendships and family were born and kindness and integrity permeated the hearts of all the actors and crew, where sadness only entered because it was the final scene of a wonderful journey ~ and the beginning of the rest of our lives.”
According to Sharon, the 2019 series finale of Jane The Virginwas marked by a “happy, loving and generous memory with hearts exploding with possibilities.”
“Life has its moments and also its surprises — as you keep your integrity through it all justice and truth will shine today and into eternity,” Sharon concluded. “I love you more than you will ever know! Happy Birthday, my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless you in truth.”
Justin, who turned 41 on Friday, is currently in the middle of a contentious and very public legal battle against It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively. After the film was released in August 2024, Lively, 37, sued Justin for alleged sexual harassment, claiming the actor-director fostered a “hostile work environment.” She also claimed that Justin attempted to launch a concentrated PR campaign to ruin her reputation.
Justin vehemently denied the accusations before filing a $400 million suit of his own against Lively. In the court documents obtained by Us Weekly earlier this month, Justin’s legal team claimed that Lively was “determined to make [Justin] the real-life villain in her story” to mask her alleged “tone-deaf” promotion of the film. (The two actors played a couple in an abusive marriage in It Ends With Us, which Justin also directed.)
Lively rebuked the accusations via a spokesperson.
“This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook. This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” Lively’s lawyers told Us in a statement earlier this month. “This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender. Wayfarer has opted to use the resources of its billionaire co-founder to issue media statements, launch meritless lawsuits, and threaten litigation to overwhelm the public’s ability to understand that what they are doing is retaliation against sexual harassment allegations.”
Justin, meanwhile, is focusing on his family in light of the scandal.
“We’re grateful to be with the family, man,” he told photographers on January 17 in footage obtained by TMZ. “We have amazing friends and family and faith.”

Last Man Standing has ended, but the show’s stars including Tim Allen, Nancy Travis and Kaitlyn Dever have remained on our screens.
The sitcom started out on ABC and starred Allen as an executive at a sporting goods store chain in Denver, Colorado. Mike Baxter was a married father of three daughters and a grandfather to his eldest daughter’s son. Last Man Standing aired on the network from 2011 to 2017 before moving to Fox for three more seasons.
“The word that keeps me alive is ‘grateful.’ I love what I do. I get far more enjoyment out of entertaining people than anything monetary,” Allen exclusively told Us Weekly in 2020. “I love the live audience we have. I tell them every night, ‘This is old-school stuff, what television and broadcast started with.’ I don’t know the future, but this [show] is rare.”
“We did the same thing as we did with Home Improvement. It’s all about the relationships — we don’t get into topical stuff. But [now], I’ve just got girls, so you see how a man differs in his perspective when he has so many strong women around him,” he continued. “We never make fun [of each other]. It’s an affectionate family. I like the fact that we honor and make fun — at the same time — marriage, institution, kids, babies, people. But in the same way, we honor it. We’re not being snarky about it.”
Keep scrolling to see where the cast of Last Man Standing is now:
After playing Mike, Allen reprised his role of Santa Claus/Scott Calvin in Disney+'s The Santa Clauses. He returned to ABC with the 2025 sitcom Shifting Gears, which costars Kat Dennings and Seann William Scott. On the big screen, Allen has continued to voice Buzz Lightyear in various Toy Story projects.
Allen was married to Laura Deibel from 1984 to 2003. Before their split, they welcomed daughter Katherine in 1989. The actor found love again with Jane Hajduk and they got married in 2006 after several years of dating. Their daughter, Elizabeth, was born in 2009.
Travis has remained busy since bringing Vanessa to life. Her TV roles include Mr. Mercedes, The Ranch, The Kominsky Method, Ride and Grosse Pointe Garden Society. Us broke the news in January 2025 that Travis would be reuniting with her former sitcom husband on an upcoming episode of Shifting Gears.
The actress has also booked roles in Ordinary Angels and Sovereign. Travis shares two kids with husband Robert N. Fried, who she has been married to since 1994.
The role of the eldest Baxter daughter, Kristin, was originated by Krosney in season 1. It was announced in 2012 that Krosney was let go from the sitcom for unspecified creative reasons and has since appeared in Emily Owens, M.D. and Aquarius.
Fuller took over for Krosney from season 2 onward and after wrapping her time on Last Man Standing, she appeared on Orange Is the New Black and has an upcoming appearance on The Pitt. Fuller made her debut behind the camera as a director during a season 8 episode of Last Man Standing.
Fuller is married to Matthew Bryan Feld and they share one child.
The middle Baxter daughter, Mandy, was a fan-favorite character played by Ephraim until season 6. Ephraim opted not to return when Last Man Standing was revived by Fox but remained busy with opportunities on Brockmire, Halt and Catch Fire, Casual, Perry Mason, Angelyne and A League of Their Own.
Ephraim has been married to husband Evan since 2021. They welcomed their daughter later that year.
McCook took Ephraim's place starting in season 7 and remained on the show until its finale. After that, McCook scored roles on Good Trouble and Not Dead Yet. She exchanged vows with Broadway actor John Krause in 2019.
The only Baxter daughter that was played by one actress was Eve. In addition to Last Man Standing, Dever made a name for herself in Unbelievable, Monsterland, The Premise, Dopesick and upcoming roles in Apple Cider Vinegar and The Last of Us. On the big screen, Dever might look familiar because of her work in Booksmart, Dear Evan Hansen, Ticket to Paradise, Rosaline, No One Will Save You and See You When I See You.
Sanders won Us over as Kyle on Last Man Standing. He hasn't appeared in any new TV projects but did book a role on the big screen in Faith Based.
Sanders got engaged to actress Elizabeth McLaughlin in December 2024.
Ryan was briefly played by Nick Jonas in one episode before Masterson took over from season 2. Jordan comes from the Masterson family, which includes sister Alanna Masterson and half brothers Danny Masterson and Christopher Masterson. His cousin is Angus T. Jones.
Jordan is a member of the Church of Scientology and was previously linked to Dakota Johnson. In his professional life, Jordan made guest appearances on Grounded for Life, George Lopez, Las Vegas, 7th Heaven, CSI: Miami, Without a Trace and How I Met Your Mother before Last Man Standing.
Kristen and Ryan's son, Boyd, was portrayed by multiple actors but Morrison made the biggest impression. Morrison hasn't appeared in any projects since he was replaced by Jet Jurgensmeyer on Last Man Standing.
Following his time playing Ed Alzate, Elizondo has been credited for B Positive, Green Eggs and Ham, Star Wars: The Bad Batch and Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie. Elizondo also appeared in Music and Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It.
He was married to Marie Rivera from 1956 to 1975 and Marie Mandry from 1963 to 1964. Elizondo exchanged vows with Carolee Campbell in 1969.
Adams made many appearances on Last Man Standing as Mike's neighbor Chuck Larabee. He has booked roles on Dark Winds, All Rise, Bob Hearts Abishola and Grey's Anatomy. On the big screen, Adams appeared in Elemental and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Adams has been married to Monica Farrell since 1994 and they share two kids.

Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma, Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton in ‘Birdgerton.’Liam Daniel/Netflix
The fourth season of Bridgerton will include many fan-favorites — but not everyone is returning for more episodes of the show.
Bridgerton, which is based on the book series written by Julia Quinn, centers around members of the wealthy Bridgerton family as they search for love in 19th century London. Season 1 followed Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset’s (Regé-Jean Page) romance, who were the central couple in the first book, The Duke and I.
Season 2, meanwhile, took inspiration from The Viscount Who Loved Me, which followed Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) finding love with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). Despite Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) being the subject of the third novel — An Offer From a Gentleman — his love story with newcomer Sophie (Yerin Ha) was pushed to season 4.
Instead, the third season focused on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) as seen in Quinn’s book Romancing Mister Bridgerton. The shakeup has kept readers on their toes — as has former cast members stepping away from the show.
“They’re free to do as they like,” Page told Variety in July 2022 after being asked about a recasting for Simon. “Shonda and I had a wonderful conversation at the end of season 1. We were quite happy with how we stuck the landing on that one. We did so well on that redemptive arc that people forget that Simon was kind of horrific. He was the best example of a Regency f—kboy that any of us had come across.”
Page continued: “And so, because we came around full circle so well, because we stuck that landing, you’re left with this great feeling. You really do have to be brave about ending stories like that.”
While Bridgerton didn’t recast Simon, Page has stood by his decision not to return. Dynevor later confirmed her own exit from the series, which didn’t appear to be her choice.
Keep scrolling to see which Bridgerton characters are returning — and which aren’t — in season 4:
Benedict Bridgerton
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Thompson and Ha will be front and center during season 4. “It’s a fairy tale love story but it’s also got the Bridgerton element of trying to sort of tether it to some sort of reality as well and see how that pans out,” Thompson told Tudum in September 2024 before Ha added, “[Fans will see] this kind of emotional tug-of-war, or like this kind of push and pull between I guess what their heart desires, and I guess what society kind of desires for them.”
Bailey confirmed he will return as Anthony in season 4, sharing during a November 2024 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, “Gonna reunite with the family next week. I’ll always pop back and say hello.”
Kate Bridgerton
Liam Daniel/Netflix
“I know that I am returning, but that’s all I can say,” Ashley said in an interview with Glamour U.K. in October 2024. “I absolutely adore the show, and the more I can be a part of it, the better,” she added. “They’ve been really kind to work around my schedule.”
Eloise Bridgerton
Liam Daniel/Netflix
When season 3 came to an end, Eloise (Claudia Jessie) joined Francesca (Hannah Dodd) on her trip. Eloise is a frontrunner to be the next lead with To Sir Phillip, With Love, which is the fifth book in the franchise, reintroducing Phillip (Chris Fulton) as he built a connection with Eloise.
Colin Bridgerton
Liam Daniel/Netflix
In April 2024, Newton said he planned to remain on the show. “It’s changed my life so I know that I’ll be sticking around,” he told High Life Magazine at the time.
Penelope Bridgerton
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Coughlan received an invitation to return, telling The Wrap in May 2024, “They’ve told us we’re back for Season 4, which is super lovely … It’ll be exciting. [We’ll] pop back and have some fun for sure.”
Francesca Stirling
Liam Daniel/Netflix
“I can’t say if it’s in season 4 or not, but yes, there will be a time jump. I mean, we also really want to honor John and Francesca’s relationship, which although we are telling a queer story with Francesca, I don’t think that that negates her genuine connection with John. I know a lot of people have really fallen for that relationship, and we in the room really cared deeply about that relationship and about their connection,” showrunner Jess Brownell told The Hollywood Reporter in June 2024. “I think hopefully, it’s a lovely statement on the fact that relationships based in companionship, respect, friendship, trust and shared interests are just as valid as relationships that are super passionate. Both have value, and neither negates the other.”
She concluded: “So we’re absolutely not denying the connection that Fran and John have, and when we tell the Francesca and Michaela story, we would definitely want there to be a time jump to give Francesca some time to earnestly mourn what she had with John.”
Victor Alli was introduced as Francesca’s love interest — and future husband — in season 3. While the fictional couple ended up together, book fans know that John ultimately dies and Francesca finds love with his cousin Michael, who has been gender-swapped on the show. Alli and Masali Baduza, who plays Michaela, are both set to reprise their roles in season 4.
“I’m confident now that when Francesca has her Bridgerton season, it will be the most emotional and heart-wrenching story of the show, just like When He Was Wicked has always been the true tear-jerker of the Bridgerton book series,” Quinn wrote in a June 2024 statement. “Honestly, it may pack even more of a punch, since John is getting a lot more time on the screen than he ever did on the page, and I think it’s fair to say we’ve all fallen a little bit in love with him.”
Hyacinth Bridgerton
Liam Daniel/Netflix
The seventh book in the Bridgerton series follows Hyacinth’s love story. Florence Hunt, who has played the character since season 1, has been announced as a cast member for future installments.
“One of the things that was very exciting when they actually first bought the series was that it was really clear to me that they put a lot of thought into it already,” Quinn told People in July 2024. “We had to go through everything and very specifically say, ‘These characters are included, these characters are not.’ In that process, it was really clear to me that they had a long plan and were really thinking about all the books.”
Daphne Basset
Liam Daniel/Netflix
During an interview with The Direct in January 2025, Dyenvor said she’s “still waiting on that call” to return to the show, adding, “They’ve not called me yet and I think they’re shooting season 4 right now.”
Simon Basset
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Netflix announced in April 2021 that Page would not be reprising his role as the Duke of Hastings despite plans for Daphne to appear in future seasons.
“It’s a one-season arc. It’s going to have a beginning, middle, end — give us a year,” he told Variety at the time. “[I thought] ‘That’s interesting,’ because then it felt like a limited series. I get to come in, I get to contribute my bit, and then the Bridgerton family rolls on.”
Page has stood by his decision even though fans have publicly voiced their disappointment about not getting to see where Simon’s story goes from here.
Queen Charlotte
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Despite the real Queen Charlotte’s death in 1818, showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed the show would get creative to keep Golda Rosheuvel on the show.
“I worship Golda Rosheuvel and I think she’s so fantastic in her role. Shonda [Rhimes] and I, internally, have just decided that we’re in an alternate dimension,” Brownell told TVLine in June 2024 about why viewers don’t have to worry about Charlotte being killed off. “There’s potential that in this timeline, Queen Charlotte could live forever.”
When Penelope’s identity as Whistledown was a secret, iconic film actress Julie Andrews did the voiceover for the character. Season 3 shook things up by having Penelope take that over after revealing she was behind the Whistledown columns.
“Thematically and creatively, that would be the right thing to do. Penelope is owning her voice, so it really should be Nicola’s voice. But it’s Julie Andrews and I don’t know how you say no thank you anymore to Julie Andrews,” Brownell shared with EW in June 2024. “I couldn’t possibly, so to me that’s just the voice that Penelope uses in her head when she writes the thing. But it doesn’t take away from the fact that she’s owning her true self now.”
Brownell used the opportunity to hint at whether Whistledown will continue to play a role, adding, “It means that she’s now a public scandal writer, which is going to be a tricky balance. … She has everyone knowing who she is. After her arc this season, she’s going to be wrestling with accountability and with righteousness and trying to figure out what the right path is to use her pen responsibly.”
Albion Finch
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Lorn Macdonald, who has played Finch since season 2, took to Instagram in June 2024 to celebrate his time on the hit Netflix series. Fans, however, quickly questioned if the message doubled as a goodbye to the series.
“Albion Finch. What started off with cheese and a sneeze became a character I deeply care about. Huge thanks to everyone who made this a job I’ll never forget and to all the fans showing your love for this weird little dude,” Macdonald wrote at the time. “It means a lot. And to my Philippa. @harriet.cains . My partner in crime. It’s been real.”
Will Mondrich
Liam Daniel/Netflix
Photos from a season 4 table read released via Instagram in December 2024 confirmed the return of characters including Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell), Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh), Portia Featherington (Polly Walker), Will Mondrich (Martins Imhangbe) and more.
