"I'm very happy for people to discuss and debate the show and our approach to adapting the books. But I want to state really plainly, there is no place for homophobia or racism or any form of bigotry in the Bridgerton world. Bridgerton is about love and inclusivity."
"It is not going to be a season about queer trauma. If there's anything really specific about this season, it is the yearning. It's big-time yearning."
"We had a lot of fun in the writers room for season 5 talking about what is really specific to women-loving-women relationships. Like the moment where you think, like, 'Oh gosh, are we just friends? Or is this more?' You know, the gay panic."
Bridgerton season 5 will introduce a sapphic romance between Francesca Bridgerton and her late husband's cousin, Michaela. Showrunner Jess Brownell emphasized that the season will not focus on queer trauma but rather on the yearning inherent in sapphic relationships. The narrative will explore Francesca's struggle between practical marriage considerations and following her heart. Brownell firmly stated that homophobia and bigotry have no place in the Bridgerton world, which is centered on love and inclusivity.
