The end of season 3 of The Bridgerton Chronicles introduces a new character, but with a big change from the books. A hell of a tease for season 4. Spoilers.
Just the second part of season 3 of The Bridgerton Chronicles is it available on Netflix, that fans have already “binged” the more than four hours delivered by these new episodes. A fanfare ending, with a big revelation. But another plot twist, more discreet, is hidden in the very last minutes. And it did not fail to make readers of the books react, because Netflix is making a major change. Warning, slight spoilers for the end of season 3.
Francesca Bridgerton and Michaela Stirling
Since the start of this season 3, the friendship between Eloise and Cressida Cowper suggested, for many, that it could turn into romance. It was not the case. The series, however, seems to want to explore, indeed, bisexuality. Firstly with Benedict, of course, during these last episodes. But also by bringing a clue to season 4, and this concerns the most introverted member of the family: Francesca Bridgerton.
At the very end of season 3, she is, like everyone else, at the Featherington ball. With John Stirling, now her husband. The two lovebirds will soon fly to a castle in Scotland. But they will be accompanied by two guests. Eloise and a new character, introduced as John’s cousin: Michaela Stirling. The look exchanged between Francesca and Michaela catches your attention? It’s normal: there is indeed something going on between the two women.
In the books, John Stirling has a cousin: Michael Stirling. Francesca meets him in Scotland and they both… really like each other. Difficult to say more so as not to spoil some potential surprises. But the thing to remember is that, in the books, Francesca and John’s cousin Michael have a very intimate history.
In the series, the character’s gender has been changed: it is now a woman, Michaela Stirling. There is no doubt, therefore, that The Bridgerton Chronicles is preparing a lesbian romance for its season 4.
“ Every sordid detail John has told you about me is a lie. The truth is much worse », declares Michaela, during her meeting with Francesca at the ball. This bodes well for some great twists and turns to come. And readers of the books might well be surprised too, since Netflix is making more and more changes to the literary saga.
