Hannah Dodd is not shying away from opening up on her preparation to play Francesca Bridgerton. She is acknowledging the softer and more introspective arc of the character. Unlike some of the show’s more dramatic love stories, Francesca’s journey unfolds gently, in what Dodd fondly describes as “baby steps.”
She noted, “What is really nice about Francesca is that she is really on that journey. She has always been on her own journey. There isn’t a big jump each time. It is really nice to get to sit with a character as she takes these baby steps.”She further added, “Each season, it is not a story that feels like a huge jump. I always read the script and think, ‘Okay, this makes sense.’ It is really interesting that they (Francesca Bridgerton and John Stirling) got married, but it’s not perfect. And she is now willing to work on the little bits of their relationship. She wants to close those gaps between the two of them. So as an actor, it is lovely because I am thoroughly getting to know the character. Francesca is getting to know herself. So I am totally on that journey. The writing is leading me to Francesca’s mindset and helping me understand how to go about in Francesca’s ways.”However, the story in the second part of season 4 shows a cruel twist of fate that Francesca goes through. Hannah was reluctant to speak on it at the time of the interview, but viewers have now witnessed her character go through sadness and heartbreak.
Bridgerton season 4 part 2, which was released on February 26, 2026, is now streaming on Netflix.
