Make way for some new members of the Ton! After Bridgerton Season 4 told Benedict and Sophie’s love story, the Regency romance is moving on to Francesca (Hannah Dodd) and Michaela Stirling (Masali Baduza). The Shondaland hit, based on Julia Quinn’s novels, has already started filming its fifth season, and on April 8, Netflix revealed that three new characters will be added to the mix.

Not only that, but the streamer has teased what roles they’ll play in Francesca and Michaela’s romance. Though Netflix has already hinted that Bridgerton will venture to the Scottish countryside in Season 5, it’ll also see Francesca return to London to reenter the marriage mart. Her reasoning is practical, but when her late husband’s cousin, Michaela, returns, it complicates Francesca’s resolve.
