Season Three of Bridgerton brings familiar faces and new twists.
The much-anticipated third season of Bridgerton has arrived, bringing back familiar characters and introducing new storylines. Fans are eager to see the continuation of the society gossip, scandal, and romance that the show is known for.
One of the key storylines this season involves the tension between fan favorites Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) reaching a climax. Meanwhile, Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) embarks on a secret affair with an older woman.
Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope, spoke about the show’s famous steamy scenes and her experience working with an intimacy coordinator. “There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice,” Coughlan shared. “It just felt like the biggest ‘f**k you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering.”
The Return of Francesca Bridgerton
Viewers noticed a significant change with the character Francesca Bridgerton, the sixth sibling in the aristocratic family. Hannah Dodd has taken over for Ruby Stokes, who originally played Francesca. This change left some fans confused, wondering why the switch was made.
Who is Hannah Dodd?
Hannah Dodd, a 28-year-old actor from Colchester, Essex, has taken over the role of Francesca Bridgerton. Dodd began her acting career in the Hulu teen series Find Me In Paris and later appeared in the British period drama Harlots as Sophie Fitzwilliam. She has also been seen in the Netflix series Anatomy of a Scandal and Enola Holmes 2, where she starred alongside Millie Bobby Brown.
Dodd is not only an actor but also a model, signed to Select Model Management, which represents notable figures like David Gandy and Irina Shayk. Speaking about her character to Tudum, Dodd expressed her nervousness about filming early in the production. “Francesca has been preparing for [her debut]…Filming it was absolutely terrifying, because it was quite early on in production. There was a little bit of life imitating art there. She was nervous, and I was nervous.”
Why Was Ruby Stokes Replaced?
The change in casting occurred because Ruby Stokes left the Bridgerton franchise to work on another Netflix project, Lockwood & Co. Bridgerton creator and showrunner, Shonda Rhimes, welcomed Hannah Dodd to the cast, saying, “It’s really wonderful to truly welcome Hannah – and Francesca. We’ve only ever seen tiny bits of Francesca in seasons past, and in this season she’s back from having traveled and she’s ready to get married, and you really get to know who Fran is.”

The latest season of Bridgerton is released in two batches of four episodes each. Part one premiered on Netflix on May 16, and part two will arrive on June 13. Fans can enjoy the continuation of the series and discover more about Francesca Bridgerton’s journey in these new episodes.
The third season of Bridgerton continues to captivate audiences with its blend of drama, romance, and intrigue. With Hannah Dodd stepping into the role of Francesca Bridgerton, viewers are set to experience new dimensions of the character. As always, the series promises to deliver the high-society thrills that have made it a global phenomenon.
