#Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell has sent a reminder to viewers ahead of the show’s fifth season. The upcoming season is set to follow a sapphic romance between Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) and Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza), which was set up in the most recent episodes of the show. The relationship will be the first major LGBTQ+ storyline featured on ‘Bridgerton’. In an interview published by Netflix on 24 March, Brownell said: “I’m very happy for people to discuss and debate the show and our approach to adapting the books. But I want to state really plainly, there is no place for homophobia or racism or any form of bigotry in the Bridgerton world. She continued: “Bridgerton is about love and inclusivity. Masali and Hannah and all of our cast and crew deserve nothing but positivity and love. It’s been beautiful to see the way fans have already started rallying around them, and I can’t wait to watch that love grow.” 📷 Zoe McConnell for Netflix
