'Bridgerton' showrunner Jess Brownell has suggesting changing Francesca's love interest from Michael to Michaela since season 1 of the show
Bridgerton fans might not have picked up on the clues, but the decision to gender-swap Francesca's love interest from Michael to Michaela was a long time in the making.
After reading Julia Quinn's novel When He Was Wicked, Brownell recalled seeing something special, adding, 'I want to tell a story that accurately reflects a queer experience, and the first time I read Francesca's book, I really identified with it as a queer woman. Maybe not in the way Julia Quinn intended.'
Season 3 expanded on Francesca's love story by having her meet her now-husband, John , during her debut into society. By the end of the second part, Francesca and John were making plans to move to his native Scotland with his cousin Michaela . The book about Francesca’s romance, however, actually followed her relationship with John’s cousin Michael, which upset certain readers.
