Yerin Ha

Yerin Ha is an Australian actress of Korean descent who has rapidly emerged as one of television’s most exciting new talents. Born in Sydney to Korean immigrant parents, she trained at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), one of Australia’s premier drama schools.

Ha first gained international attention as Kwan Ha in Paramount+’s Halo (2022-2024), the adaptation of the beloved video game franchise. Her portrayal of a human resistance fighter showcased her action capabilities and dramatic range.

Her profile continued to rise with a role in HBO’s Dune: Prophecy (2024), the prequel series set in the Dune universe. The series introduced her to the massive fanbase of Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptations.

In 2025, it was announced that Ha would lead Bridgerton Season 4 alongside Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), marking the show’s first Asian lead in a romantic storyline. The groundbreaking casting reflects Bridgerton’s commitment to diverse representation in Regency-era romance.
