'Bridgerton' Season 5 Cast Changes: A Major Exit, Many Returns, & a Lead Reduced to a Cameo | Just Jared

Bridgerton season 5 is expected to debut next year, and we have all of the updated information on the cast list.

The fifth season of Bridgerton spotlights introverted middle daughter Francesca (Hannah Dodd). Two years after losing her beloved husband John, Fran decides to reenter the marriage mart for practical reasons. But when John’s cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza) returns to London to tend to the Kilmartin estate, Fran’s complicated feelings will have her questioning whether to stick to her pragmatic intentions or pursue her inner passions.

We do know that there will likely be one major cast exit, while thankfully many stars are confirmed to return. We’re also making some educated guesses about who should be back.

We also just learned that one major star from seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 will only be back in a cameo role for season five.
