We are talking to Hannah Dodd, alias Francesca Bridgerton

While the third season of the successful dramatic series Netflix “Bridgerton” hit our screens, Hannah Dodd naturally had nerves. “I am still a little at the forefront-I will not feel confident to talk about it until everything has come out,” she admitted to “Bridgerton” Junket where we met her. In May 2023, Netflix announced that Dodd would join the cast as the oldest sixth brother of the Bridgerton family, Francesca Bridgeton, a character who had been played by Ruby Stokes in the seasons one and two.

For Dodd, joining the cast was a whirlwind. “It was really exciting,” she said radiant. “It is such a privilege to join the show at this stage, because they have [the cast] did such an incredible job to do what it is. I only have respect for all these adorable people. Joining the show was the biggest gift in my life of all time. “”

Naturally, there was a lot of curiosity so that the new actress joined the ton. Dodd grew up in Colchester, Essex and started playing professionally after graduating from the London Studio Center. You could recognize the rising British star of other Netflix series like “Anatomy of A Scandal”, where she played the youngest version of the Lead Sienna Miller series, or “Enola Holmes 2”.

We have already been presented to Francesca Bridgerton as a limited capacity, but this season, we can take off the diapers and see what makes her really vibrate. Dodd says: “The foundations of Francesca came from Ruby and she has done a good job, but now we get to know her a little more.” As a young woman who is now looking for a pretender, and after a diamond from the beginnings of her sister Daphne’s season, will she be under pressure by the reputation of her family?

Dodd reveals: “I think Francesca is on a trip. She is on this trip to work exactly what she wants-will she follow the wishes of her family? I think there is one element that pleases people. Dodd believes that the vision of Francesca’s life is slightly different from his other brothers and sisters.” It is not necessarily confidence, but she does not need external validation-she does not pursue that. sisters needed. ”

During this season, Francesca and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Cochlan) have a moment of standing stage on the wall of a bullet – and there is an element of female camaraderie and support shared between them. As we know, Francesca should make its debut in society in season three and Penelope has been on the market for several years now. “I love this scene. I have the impression that Penelope and Francesca share certain similarities, but there are also a lot of privileges that Francesca A. At that time, the pen does not allow it to follow its traces of being a flora of Wall. Coin.”

The main point to remember by Francesca Bridgerton is that she is definitely an independent young woman and has a number of hobbies. Dodd says: “She has things that make her happy that she can do alone as walking, read a book or play the piano. So she works a little differently from her brothers and sisters. While the public learns the character, she also gets to know herself.”

Funny fact: Dodd actually plays the piano in the show. While its distribution members tease her to know Mozart, she laughs. “I don’t know Mozart,” admits the actress. “Listen, I tried well! It was just another little thing added to manage other than to join the cast of” Bridgerton “like yeah,” do you also want to partitions? “”

Bridgeton season three is now available on Netflix.
