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.

What sparked the change?
Francesca Bridgerton is hardly a main character in the popular Netflix series.
As Deadline reports, Francesca vanished completely after that point.

In fact, the change seems to be related to a schedule and timing issue.
So, she’ll likely provide some contrast with her more outgoing and dramatic siblings!
