That said, creator Shonda Rhimes plans to live out a unique storytelling vision with this beloved Netflix series.

The legendary showrunner has already done it twice, and we wholeheartedly believe that she will do it again.

One on-screen adaptation that fans are already looking forward to involves a younger Bridgerton: Francesca.

According toPopsugar, “When He Was Wicked” is the steamiest “Bridgerton” book in the series.

But it wouldn’t be “Bridgerton” without some sort of love triangle, right?

A few days before the happy couple’s nuptials, Francesca meets her fiance’s cousin, Michael.

One horrible night, John dies unexpectedly in his sleep.

Suddenly a heartbroken widow, Francesca believes she will never find love again.

That is until Michael returns home after several guilt-ridden years in India.

Even after four years apart, Michael still harbors deep feelings for Francesca.

When the pair reunite, sparks ultimately fly, and Francesca develops a mutual attraction for her old friend.

Friends to lovers, rejoice!

If this love story makes it to screen, you’ve got a lot to look forward to.
