Summary Bridgerton's original Francesca actor Ruby Stokes has joined the cast of an upcoming, alternate history movie set in the 19th century titled Madfabulous. Stokes was originally part of the cast of Bridgerton during seasons 1 and 2, having a recurring role as one of the middle sisters in the large, titular family. However, her role was recast in season 3, with Hannah Dodd stepping into her shoes as the character became a central part of the show.
Now, Deadline reports that Stokes will be joining the cast of a new historical movie, Madfabulous, a dramatic reimagining of 19th century Britain. The movie centers around the lavish life of Henry Paget , the Marquess of Anglesey whose journey tackles issues of social class and gender norms. Stokes will star as Lily, Henry's friend and lover, though the pair share a platonic relationship. Alongside the announcement of her involvement was that of actor Rupert Everett .
Why Ruby Stokes Fits Perfectly In Madfabulous Her Previous Work Makes Her Perfect For The Role In addition to news of Stokes joining the cast, it was also revealed that filming for the movie has begun in Wales, with multiple locations serving as the main backdrop of the historical fiction tale. Alongside those previously mentioned to be starring in the movie, other key actors include Paul Rhys , Louis Hynes , Louise Brealey , and Siobhán McSweeney among others.
As of writing, it’s unclear how Madfabulous will be released, whether as a historical fiction work for Netflix or another streaming platform, or in theaters. However, the film’s unique premise and interesting main character means Stokes will fit right into the movie’s story, utilizing her past work as a baseline for what she does in the film. With production only just beginning on the upcoming historical drama, it remains to be seen what to expect from the movie when it arrives.
