Jonathan Bailey, known for his role as Anthony Bridgerton in the hit Netflix series Bridgerton, recently shared his thoughts on the adaptation's changes, particularly regarding Francesca's love interest. Bailey expressed his support for the decision to swap Michael with Michaela Sterling, emphasizing that it was a brilliant move.
In Season 3, viewers witnessed Francesca's evolving love story as she met her future husband, John, portrayed by Victor Alli. The unexpected introduction of John's cousin, Michaela, instead of the character Michael from the books surprised many fans. Showrunner Jess Brownell explained that the alteration was part of the plan to tell a queer story in line with the thematic cues from the original books.
