Bridgerton showrunner teases a “queer happily ever after” for Francesca
Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell has shared exciting new details about Francesca’s upcoming queer storyline. Major spoilers ahead.
Back in April, Brownell revealed to PRIDE that LGBTQIA+-led stories were coming to the hit Netflix series, describing it as a major priority for her. “This is a show about love in its many forms, and I think that it’s only right for us to foreground queer love and to tell queer stories,” she told the news outlet. “I want to see more queer joy on my screens, and that was definitely a priority for me when I stepped into the showrunner role.” Since announcing the exciting news, fans have wondered which Bridgerton character could be the new queer lead.
Fortunately for viewers, the wait finally came to an end on 13 June when the second half of season three made its way to Netflix.
Picking up where part one left off, the new batch of episodes follows Penelope (Nichola Coughlan) as she prepares to wed Bridgerton sibling Colin (Luke Newton).
