The showrunner of Bridgerton, Jess Brownell, reveals that Eloise and Cressida form an unlikely friendship in the new season. Eloise, still recovering from the events of the previous season, finds herself drawn to Cressida, a character known for her mean-girl persona. This unexpected pairing allows viewers to explore Cressida's motivations and see a different side of her.
New series showrunner Jess Brownell admits that Eloise and Cressida are strange bedfellows—at first glance anyway. “Last season, Eloise had a bit of a bumpy ending,” she tells Vanity Fair. “She got a little political with the printer, Theo , and nearly got herself and her family in big trouble. Then, on top of that, she realized that her best friend had been lying to her about Whistledown all along. So Eloise enters this season having lost a little bit of her fight, at least temporarily.
“For the last two seasons, there’s been this rivalry between Penelope and Cressida. It felt like we wanted that to come to a head this season,” says Brownell. “So even though Cressida, this year, is trying her best to be less of a mean girl, she can’t help but subconsciously want to go after the same guy Penelope is going after. It puts the two of them on a collision course that was really fun to play out.
