'Bridgerton' author Julia Quinn defended a gender swap that appeared in the recently released third season of the show last week after it drew complaints from fans. 'Anyone who has seen an interview with me from the past four years knows that I am deeply committed to the Bridgerton world becoming more diverse and inclusive as the stories move from book to screen,' Quinn said in an Instagram post.
The show gender-swapped a love interest for the popular character Francesca Bridgerton. 'But switching the gender of a major character is a huge change, and so when Jess Brownell first approached me with the idea of turning Michael into Michaela for the show, I needed more information before conferring my agreement,' Quinn said.
think this is a show about the many ways in which people love,' Brownell told Refinery 29. 'So it only feels right to show all the ways in which people love, including queer love. So we are exploring queer love stories across the next couple of seasons.' Fox News Digital has reached out to Netflix for comment.
