Bridgerton star Luke Thompson has opened up about his character’s sexuality in a brand new interview. Since 2020, Netflix’s Regency era show has been a hit with fans due to its scandalous plotlines and attractive cast.
It also received widespread acclaim from critics, with particular praise towards the show’s diversity – especially due to the notorious lack of POC representation in the period genre.
However, alongside the show’s positive praises, queer fans have also criticised the series for its lack of LGBTQ+ representation.
Before the first series premiered, a trailer highlighted a gay sex scene between two central characters, but ultimately this storyline was side-lined.
