Vulture Asks: What Do You Want to See in Bridgerton Season 4?
More Lady Danbury, period.
By the end of the Regency-era fantasy’s third season, Penelope and Colin are happily married parents of a son and heir, Eloise is off to see the world, and Francesca experiences the love-at-first-sight moment she thought she’d never have.

Presumably, she spent the years after her children grew up relishing in her independence and traveling the world (we know she’s already been to Scotland) but there’s nothing stopping her from taking on the rest of Europe, the Americas, and maybe even visiting home in Sierra Leone to finally confront her father.
