‘Bridgerton’: 7 Francesca & Michaela Book Scenes We Must See in Season 5

Bridgerton Season 5 can’t arrive fast enough. As fans of Julia Quinn’s When He Was Wicked, we’re eager to see Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and Michaela’s (Masali Baduza) romance on screen, especially after Season 4 started introducing elements of it. (The death of Victor Alli‘s John and Michaela running away were pulled straight from the book.)

Here’s what we know of Season 5’s plot so far: It picks up two years after Francesca loses her husband. She’s decided to reenter the marriage mart “for practical reasons.” John’s cousin, Michaela, returns to London to deal with the Kilmartin estate, upending Francesca’s plan. It sounds similar to the book’s plot, which we are so here for.
