The future of Adjoa Andoh's Lady Danbury on the show, which led to speculation about her departure from Bridgerton in Season 5, has been confirmed by the showrunner, Jess Brownell, who assured fans that her character's departure is not permanent. Brownell also addressed the possibility of a spin-off centered around Lady Danberry, stating that she would let executive producer, Shonda Rhimes, handle the matter. She emphasized that the show wanted to explore relationships in which there was a power imbalance and that Danbury's departure was not about trimming her presence on the series but "shaking up the dynamic".
