Production has commenced in the UK for "Bridgerton" Season 5, which will center on the introverted middle daughter, Francesca Stirling.
Two years following the passing of her husband, John, Francesca decides to re-enter the marriage mart for practical reasons. However, the arrival of John's cousin, Michaela Stirling, complicates Francesca's intentions, potentially shifting her focus from pragmatism to passion.
Hannah Dodd portrays Francesca, a countess who feels out of place, while Masali Baduza plays Michaela, whose charming exterior hides vulnerability. This season will see Francesca make self-discoveries, and Michaela confronting her own vulnerabilities and legacy.
Netflix confirmed a fifth and sixth season renewal in May 2025. While previous seasons have altered the book order, Francesca's storyline, including her connection with Michael (gender-swapped to Michaela), was hinted at in Season 4.
