Season 5 of Bridgerton will follow either Eloise or Francesca - but did the season 4 finale confirm which of them would be next? Based on Julia Quinn's book series, Bridgerton devotes each season to a new member of the fictional family. Season 1 was focused on Quinn's The Duke and I, which was about Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset's (Regé-Jean Page) love story. Season 2 followed The Viscount Who Loved Me about Anthony Bridgerton's (Jonathan Bailey) connection with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
