One character's book story is changed significantly in Bridgerton Season 3, however this adjustment helps the historical drama to more closely reflect the author's general theme. Netflix has begun translating Julia Quinn's romance Bridgerton books into a live-action television series starting in 2020. Three volumes and a spinoff have been brought to life in that time, and five more stories remain to be told. Though Bridgerton might not always match every element from the books, these tweaks usually contribute to make the series far more appealing.
Although book-to----TV adaptations are sometimes attacked for straying too far from its source material, Bridgerton is a rare case of change being a benefit. Including a more varied cast in Bridgerton was one of the most important book to TV modifications done. Julia Quinn's writings included white characters, who were cast using actors of color. This helped the show to be more fascinating and reflective overall. Since then, Bridgerton has made innumerable other, both little and major changes that have greatly improved the production.
Spoilers for Julia Quinn's book, When He Was Wicked, are found in the section following.
Although one crucial difference was made, the last episode of Bridgerton season 3 set up the start of Francesca's future love affair. When She Was Wicked by Julia Quinn chronicles the romance between Francesca and Michael Stirling. But Michaela Stirling, played by South African actress Masali Baduza, debuted in Bridgerton season 3. In the end, this difference matters not just for Michael's but also for Francesca's character. It validates that an LGBTQ+ relationship will be Francesca's actual love match.
Although Bridgerton has already incorporated more variation in terms of sexual orientation over the years, Francesca's plot is the first of a Bridgerton sibling's major romance being LGBTQ. Though viewers know his love story will still be with a woman, Benedict has been shown as being bisexual on the show. Michaela's gender swap is therefore a big event for the Bridgerton series. It prepares additional representation and a fresh kind of narrative Bridgerton has not explored yet. All things considered, this is an upgrade that most definitely improves Bridgerton.
Though it differs from Julia Quinn's books, Francesca's LGBTQ+ love story fits the message the author is aiming to convey. Julia Quinn told Cosmopolitan in an interview that she admired Netflix's choice to turn Francesca gay. She said, "imagining a gay protagonist in 'The Bridgertons' seems like a good idea to me because the goal of the saga has always been to show that all people deserve a happy ending." Thanks to this Francesca adjustment, the next seasons of Bridgerton will most surely meet this aim.
