Shonda Rhimes Knows Who Fan Favorite Bridgerton Is And Makes Sure To Keep Him Around
There is a reason the show abandons the original books' order.
Bridgerton 's success is undeniable. Not many shows are able to balance romantic drama, humor, and period detail without losing touch with a younger audience.
From the greatest soundtracks to an extremely talented and unique cast, Bridgerton has everything it takes to top all Netflix productions.
Knowing how much fans enjoyed the original book series by Julia Quinn, Shonda Rhimes knew exactly what to do to keep them just as entertained with the adaptation.
A number of changes have been made to the story to keep things fresh for readers and to give viewers a new perspective on some of the characters.
There were a few reasons for this. First, Lady Whistledown, a town gossip run by Penelope, didn't play quite as big a role in the books as she does in the show.
This storyline had to be properly addressed in Season 3, or otherwise, the same old mystery would become boring and Bridgerton would risk losing the audience's attention.
Another reason would be to keep Sophie, Benedict's partner for his season, a secret for a little longer.
The show has always been dramatic with the reveal of fan-favorite characters, so Sophie must be no exception. By keeping the guesses coming and the fandom still in the dark about who Sophie's actress could be, Shonda Rhimes keeps the mentions of the show going.
Finally, Benedict, who is the focus of the third novel after Daphne and Anthony Brigerton's story, is next in line for the adaptation. He has been a fan-favorite character himself from the beginning, as viewers love his artistic expression and endearing personality. By keeping him around, Bridgerton's production team is making sure the streaming service doesn't face a sudden drop in viewership.
Despite the fact that Bridgerton Season 3 production has long been finished, no release date has been announced yet. Stay tuned to not miss any important news or behind-the-scenes updates!
