Bridgerton season 2 cast

Actress Ruby Stokes had to depart the season midway through filming.

Netflix has already renewed Bridgerton for seasons three and four—an unusual move for the platform, which is renowned for cancelling shows after two seasons. Ruby Stokes's Francesca, the sixth Bridgerton child, was referenced throughout season one but remained off-screen until the very last episode. But now that season two has finally dropped, viewers may notice that a second member of the core cast is largely absent from the new episodes.
