Will Francesca Steal The Spotlight In Bridgerton'S Season Five? Clues Are Bubbling!

Netflix's Vision for Bridgerton

Netflix is weaving a tapestry of romance and drama with its plan for eight seasons of Bridgerton, each centered around a different Bridgerton sibling's love story, mirroring the beloved book series. While the official announcement on the next season's lead is under wraps, the clues are mounting that Francesca might just be stepping into the limelight for season five.

Francesca Vs. Eloise: The Showrunner's Hint

Jessica Bronwell, the show's current leading lady behind the scenes, dropped a tantalizing hint at the season four premiere. Sporting a jacket emblazoned with the letters 'E' and 'F', she teased that these seasons will revolve around Eloise and Francesca. However, the order remains a tantalizing mystery.

“The prologue section of Francesca’s book is set before Eloise’s book starts,” a source notes, hinting at Francesca's potential lead.

A Peek at the Books' Timeline

For those keeping track, while Eloise's novel made its debut before Francesca’s, the storylines overlap, existing in a similar time frame. Intriguingly, Francesca's narrative begins earlier, with her second wedding preceding Eloise’s nuptials. This timeline could very well sway the show to feature Francesca's tale first.

Clues Hidden in Season Four's Trailer

The trailer for the latter half of season four is a treasure trove of hints! Observant fans noticed Benedict and Violet dressed in somber black. Could this be signaling an upcoming funeral? Adding to the intrigue, Francesca is seen wandering a corridor in her nightgown, peeking into a room.

But here’s the kicker: Francesca’s story in the novel "When He Was Wicked" begins with the tragic loss of her first husband, John. This sets the stage for her romance with his dashing cousin. Could the show be laying the groundwork for Francesca's captivating story in season five? It seems very possible.
