The Netflix show Bridgerton is based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels. It revolves around the very influential Bridgerton family, comprising eight siblings, and how they find their own path to love and adventure.
The show’s second season concluded recently and the news of starting production for Season 3 has already excited fans. But, it looks like Shondaland has yet another surprise for fans as a major character will be replaced.
New Face Of Francesca In ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3
Ruby Stokes essayed the role of Francesca in the ‘Bridgerton’ in seasons 1 and 2. But the actress already had signed a deal with Lockwood and Co. Therefore, she left the show to fulfill her previous obligation. She’ll be cast as the lead in the show.
“I love Francesca, but we lost her midway through Season 2,” Bridgerton creator and Seasons 1 and 2 showrunner Chris Van Dusen told TVLine in late March. “After exhausting all other options, she unfortunately had to come out due to reasons beyond our control.”
Finally, in December it was revealed that they’ll be recasting Francesca. The British actress and model Hannah Dodd, also known for her role in “Anatomy Of A Scandal” will play the role of Francesca in Bridgerton Season 3.

All About Francesca’s Story
Francesca is the second youngest daughter of the family. She is a bit of an introvert among her extrovert family members. Despite that, she knows how to get along when it comes to social matters and her character commands attention even when she doesn’t want it.
According to Quinn’s novels, Francesca is supposed to take the center stage in the sixth season. The sixth season will be based on the novel “When He Was Wicked”.
Fans are extremely excited to see Dodd take the stage as Francesca. It is also a question of whether she’ll be able to bring the character to life or not.
