‘Bridgerton’ is going full romance with a queer love story next season, and fans are HERE for it! 💐 The series has officially been renewed for season 5, and Netflix confirmed it will centre on Francesca Bridgerton’s romance with Michaela Stirling, a gender-swapped twist on the original character. Hannah Dodd returns as Francesca, alongside Masali Baduza as Michaela, with the story picking up two years after John’s death as Francesca re-enters society, only to find her feelings for Michaela resurfacing. Online, the reaction has been largely positive. Many fans are celebrating the show’s first major queer love story, but others are disappointed the series is skipping ahead, instead of focusing on Eloise.
