Season 4 of Bridgerton addresses Francesca's ongoing orgasm problems - but they have nothing to do with her sexuality after her love interest Michaela's gender swap. After the show returned on Thursday, January 29, showrunner Jess Brownell weighed in on Francesca's (Hannah Dodd) inability to reach a "pinnacle" with husband John (Victor Alli). "[We're] more organically wanting to explore different kinds of intimacy from different characters," Brownell told Variety.
