Bridgerton season 3 is starting to take shape and the biggest update for the new season has been revealed in the form of a new cast addition.

Does Hannah Dodd Replacing Ruby Stokes Mean We’ll Get to See Francesca Bridgerton’s Story in Season 3?

The entire world tuned into watching season 2 of one of the most popular period
dramas, Bridgerton. The show’s second season received such a great reaction from
audiences that Netflix took no time to announce the third season. Bridgerton
season 3 is currently under work, with the streaming giant putting their best
team behind the project.

But it looks like a previous cast member who the fans and the cast had very much
loved will not be returning. And we all know Netflix isn’t the one to recast
often. So if they decided to recast a major character, they must have had their
reasons. Let us take a look at which actress will not be returning.


A NEW FACE IN BRIDGERTON SEASON 3

We’ll probably see more of Francesca on Bridgerton next season, and she’ll have
a new appearance. In Season 3 of Netflix and ShondaLand’s Regency-era period
drama series based on Julia Quinn‘s romance novels, Hannah Dodd (Anatomy of a
Scandal [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/anatomy-of-a-scandal/]) will portray the
enigmatic Bridgerton sibling.

In a recasting, she will join the enormously popular program as a series
regular, replacing Ruby Stokes [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ruby-stokes/], who
has left to star in another Netflix series, the forthcoming Lockwood & Co
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-from-bridgerton-to-ghost-hunter-ruby-stokes-lands-a-new-show-on-netflix/].,
based on Jonathan Stroud’s books.

Netflix issued an official Twitter post, bidding Ruby goodbye and welcoming
Hannah to the family.

The position of Francesca on Bridgerton
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/bridgerton/] has long remained a mystery. Stokes
played her in two brief cameos in Season 1, during which her character visited
her aunt in Bath.

Season 2 got off to a better start, with Francesca (Stokes) appearing in the
first three episodes before departing without explanation for the rest of the
season; when Stokes returned to Lockwood & Co to fulfill a prior commitment.

The first signs that Francesca would be replaced surfaced in December. When a
casting ad for a new series regular was posted. Stokes was a recurrent guest
star on Bridgerton, which helped her to get a series regular role on another
show.

Francesca Bridgerton, the Bridgerton family’s second youngest daughter, is
slated to take center stage in a prospective sixth season of Bridgerton. Based
on Quinn’s sixth book, “When He Was Wicked.”

The series, which is currently seeking new Season 3 characters, will resume
production in London
