<\/p>\n

\n

Once upon a time, Hannah Dodd<\/a> didn\u2019t know which role she was auditioning for in the Bridgerton<\/i><\/a> <\/i>universe. \u201cI just loved the material so much,\u201d Dodd tells Tudum, adding she was happy to pursue a mystery character. Now the actor is stepping into next season\u2019s spotlight alongside co-star Masali Baduza<\/a>. That\u2019s right \u2014 Lady Francesca Stirling (Dodd) and Michaela Stirling (Baduza) are the leads of Bridgerton<\/i> Season 5<\/a>, which has started production outside of London. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m panicked and excited!\u201d Dodd says with a laugh. Next to her, Baduza agrees, adding, \u201cWe got this!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bridgerton <\/i>showrunner Jess Brownell<\/a> also<\/i> agrees. \u201cI cannot say enough good things about Hannah and Masali. The two of them have such a beautiful friendship and support each other in such a beautiful way,\u201d the writer tells Tudum. \u201cBut, beyond that, I really do think that they are two incredibly talented and special performers. They\u2019re actors who are able to say so much with just an expression, with just their faces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dodd and Baduza\u2019s visages will have a lot to convey, as Brownell says Bridgerton<\/i><\/a> <\/i>Season 5 will be defined by the \u201cbig-time yearning\u201d of its central couple. The upcoming episodes will tell the second-chance love story of Francesca<\/a>, a young widow, and Michaela, a woman who prefers breezy travel to difficult conversations. \u201cLike magnets, they\u2019re just drawn to each other,\u201d Baduza says.<\/p>\n

The last time fans saw the duo, however, they were emotionally further apart than ever. In the Season 4 finale<\/a>, Francesca, still reeling from the sudden death of her husband Lord John Stirling<\/a> (Victor Alli), asks Michaela to stop her globe-trotting for a moment and stay with her in Mayfair. \u201cAs John\u2019s cousin, Michaela is the only other person who fully understands what Francesca might feel like,\u201d Dodd explains. \u201cThat just connects them on another level.\u201d<\/p>\n

But, in one of the last scenes of Episode 8, Francesca learns her relationship with Michaela isn\u2019t what she thought. The Stirling cousin has left \u2014 and, as proof, we see her carriage speeding out of London. \u201cIt\u2019s just too much for Michaela. With intense emotions like that, leaving is the only way she copes,\u201d Baduza says. \u201cShe\u2019s just like, \u2018I\u2019m just going to leave everything behind and move forward.\u2019 She\u2019s delusional right now. Eventually, things like that catch up with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Season 5, Michaela will have to face the (pop orchestral) music<\/a> when she and Francesca find themselves at the center of their own love story. Dodd is looking forward to exploring her character\u2019s resilience, as Francesca gives romance another shot after losing John so suddenly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you spend so much time with a character, you genuinely do want them to be happy. At the moment, [Francesca] is in such a devastating position. So I am really looking forward to her feeling like she deserves love,\u201d Dodd says. \u201cShe\u2019s always trying to get things right, and so much has gone wrong for her. I\u2019m really excited for her to experience feeling loved [again] \u2026 and feeling enough within herself as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baduza thinks Michaela also has some things to learn about herself, and Francesca is just the right person to help her do so. \u201cMichaela \u2026 really struggles to show vulnerability to people that she doesn\u2019t know, especially because she\u2019s had to hide so many parts of herself,\u201d Baduza says. \u201cShe\u2019s used to having all these walls up. I\u2019m excited to tear down those walls and have her let Francesca in. I’m excited for people to see her wanted so deeply and so badly \u2026 I\u2019m excited for people to see Michaela yearn for Francesca.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Woman<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cFrancesca yearns too, to be fair!\u201d Dodd adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All of these big emotions will form the foundation of Bridgerton<\/i>\u2019s first same-gender central romance. Season 5 begins two years after John\u2019s death, when Francesca decides to reenter the marriage mart for practical reasons. But when John\u2019s cousin Michaela returns to London to tend to the Kilmartin estate, Francesca\u2019s complicated feelings will have her questioning whether to stick to her pragmatic intentions or pursue her inner passions.<\/p>\n

Dodd is glad Season 5 will allow the Regency-era series to shine a light on a queer relationship like Francesca and Michaela\u2019s. \u201c[Those love stories] have traditionally been excluded from things like period dramas \u2014 and queer people did exist, have always existed, and will always exist,\u201d Dodd says. \u201cSo they deserve a love story just like everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

She and Baduza have leaned on Brownell as filming gets underway. \u201cI think it\u2019s been really special to have Jess guide us on this journey because she\u2019s very excited about this story,\u201d Baduza says. \u201cWhat we really want to achieve is giving a realistic view of queer love onscreen and [giving them] a happily ever after. I think [this] is really important for a lot of the queer community to see onscreen, to know that it can work out, and that they deserve to also feel love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton)<\/a>\u2019s romance before them, Francesca and Michaela\u2019s will be one of familiarity \u2014 and of seeing someone in a new light. \u201cThey do<\/i> have a lot in common,\u201d Dodd says. \u201cBut I don\u2019t think they know that yet \u2014 or how important some of the qualities in the other person is to [each of them]. How much they actually need each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baduza is looking forward to seeing that \u201cintrospection\u201d take root in Season 5. \u201cI don\u2019t think Michaela is there yet,\u201d the actor says. \u201cAnd I think she\u2019s going to learn. I hope that she learns that from Francesca.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that journey may just take the pair to Scotland. The rolling green hills of the Highlands play a major role in Julia Quinn\u2019s When He Was Wicked<\/i>, the Bridgerton<\/i> novel that inspires the upcoming season. <\/i>Should we expect to see Francesca and Michaela traipsing through that same lush locale? \u201cWe hope so,\u201d says Dodd. Baduza adds, \u201cTake us to Scotland, please!\u201d<\/p>\n
