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.

Two blissful years pass, and Francesca and John remain happy and in love until tragedy strikes.
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.
