The series, based on books written by author Julia Quinn, follows one family in Regency-era London.

Each book and subsequent season of the show centers around a different Bridgerton sibling.

According to a recent announcement, Netflix is recasting the character of Francesca Bridgerton ahead of Season 3.

In fact, the change seems to be related to a schedule and timing issue.
