Netflix’s romantic hit Bridgerton is back and tells the love story of Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton) in season 3. June 13, 2024 We’ll find out how things turn out for them in part 2.

Season 3: Who does Francesca Bridgerton marry and what does it mean for the future of the Netflix series?

First things first: Fans don’t have to worry that the recast Francesca Bridgerton won’t get her own Netflix season due to her focus on season 3. It still looks like the series will stick to the novel format and film one season for each Bridgerton child. Francesca’s book is the 6th in the series by Julia Quinn *. However, since her story takes place over a longer period of time, The foundations for their love story were already laid in season 3.

Be careful, follow it massive book spoilers:

The Bridgerton family trees continue to grow diligently, but not always as expected.

However, the connection is only the beginning of Francesca’s tragic story from her own Bridgerton book called An Adorably Wicked Gentleman*.

According to the novel, the third youngest Bridgerton child loses her husband shortly after the wedding: John Stirling dies and his cousin Michael pursues his feelings towards Francesca. The only question is whether this death takes place at the end of Season 3, Part 2 or whether it is merely hinted at with a nod towards (or even appearance by) Michael, only to be ripped out of John’s life in Season 4 or 5 .

Incidentally, the fact that Netflix is ​​laying early tracks for later seasons in Bridgerton is nothing new: similar dramatic twists are likely to await us later with Sir Philip Crane, who was already introduced in season 1, and another Bridgerton sister.
