‘Bridgerton’ Author Weighs in on “Disappointment” In Francesca’s Season 3 Twist, Asks Fans To Give Her And Shondaland “Some Faith”


Bridgerton author Julia Quinn has commented on the reaction to that twist at the end of Season 3 of the Netflix series.

“When Jess Brownell first approached me with the idea of turning Michael into Michaela for the show, I needed more information before conferring my agreement.” Quinn went on to assert her trust in Shondaland ’s vision for Bridgerton as well as her desire that the spirit of the books remain in the television adaptation, especially when it came to Francesca’s love for John. Quinn wrote of her confidence that Francesca’s Bridgerton season will be “the most emotional and heart-wrenching” story of the show” with potentially “even more of a punch, since John is getting a lot more time on the screen than he ever did on the page.”
