Bridgerton's Francesca Finds Love in New Novel

Hannah Dodd to Play Francesca in Season 3

Love Story to Be Featured in Quinn's Sixth Novel

Francesca Bridgerton, the third-eldest Bridgerton sibling, is set to embark on a love story of her own in Quinn's sixth Bridgerton novel, When He Was Wicked. Hannah Dodd will play Francesca in the upcoming third season of the Netflix series.

Tragedy strikes early in Francesca's story when her husband, John Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin, suddenly passes away, leaving her widowed. However, another Bridgerton sibling makes a match when Francesca falls for a new love interest.

Dodd spoke about the mature love story that Francesca and John share. "It's a very different kind of love story for Bridgerton," she said. "It's more about two people who are finding their way in the world after they've both experienced loss." Dodd also shared that she is excited to bring Francesca's story to life on screen.
