Susan Brown brings Game of Thrones grandeur to Bridgerton Season 4
You must remember Susan Brown from the iconic series Game of Thrones. In its first season, the English actor plays the role of Septa Mordane, an important teacher to siblings, Arya and Sansa. Albeit transient, her character etched a permanent place in the viewers' minds. Mordane's bond with Sansa was unforgettable, as she had been a force of solidarity towards Alayne Stone.
Brown's embodiment of Septa Mordane was a powerful one. Hence, news of her joining the Netflix Regency drama and the world of Bridgerton broke all hell loose.
Julia Quinn's novel, An Offer From a Gentleman, serves as the impetus for Bridgerton Season 4. The story explores how Luke Thompson's Benedict Bridgerton, who plays the central role in the narrative, experiences love after stumbling upon Yerin Ha's Sophie Baek at a magnificent masquerade ball.
This is the point where Susan Brown's Mrs. Crabtree is likely to assimilate. Mrs. Crabtree's significance in the series goes beyond her duties within the household. She plays a pivotal role in Benedict and Sophie's story and is set to act as a catalyst for the future of their romance, an anchoring figure in the story.
It goes without saying that Brown's casting in Bridgerton Season 4 lands perfectly. Given her expansive experience on stage as well as screen, the Tony-nominated actress is apt for such a meaningful character that requires composed, sensible, and thoughtful energy. The series, after all, has garnered a reputable status for its colourful world, remarkable leads as well as an ensemble of strong, supportive characters. These characters are instrumental in fostering the cultural and emotional milieu of the story.
Susan Brown, who played Septa Mordane in Game of Thrones, was a mentor-like figure who blended both the qualities of tenderness along with authoritarianism. A complete understanding of her role as Mrs. Crabtree can only occur after we finish watching Season 4.
The first part of Bridgerton Season 4 was released on January 29, 2026, on Netflix. It consists of four episodes. The second part will be out on February 26, 2026.
Brown's other notable roles in films and series include The Iron Lady, Belle, Call the Midwife, Touchwood, Coronation Street, The Crown, Mary, and many more.
