Bridgerton's fourth season focused on Benedict Bridgerton and his relationship with Sophie Baek, but another couple, Francesca and Michael Stirling, were also in the background dealing with their own story. In the TV adaptation, Michael is now Michaela Stirling and Francesca falls in love with Michaela. Despite this, fans were disappointed with the lack of time between the two characters and expectations for romantic developments. The show's cancellation may lead to more episodes of this type of relationship. Despite being renewed up to season 6, fans are hopeful that the show will continue to showcase these relationships.
