According to Netflix, Francesca Bridgerton is “a bit of a mystery within her chatty, extroverted family”.
“Despite her reserved nature, she goes along to get along when it comes to society affairs, fortified with a dry wit and pragmatism that confound the fickle Ton yet seem to draw attention when she least desires it,” they added.
Bridgerton is based on a series of books of the same name by Julia Quinn, which follows eight siblings of the Bridgerton family as they attempt to find love.
