Bridgerton season 5 will see Francesca two years after the loss of her husband. Despite saying at the end of season 4 that she'd never find love again, she decides it makes the most sense to reenter the marriage mart.

"But when John’s cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza) returns to London to tend to the Kilmartin estate, Fran’s complicated feelings will have her questioning whether to stick to her pragmatic intentions or pursue her inner passions," according to the official synopsis.
