‘Bridgerton’: Julia Quinn Says It Would Be ‘Great’ to See an LGBTQ Protagonist

Netflix’s Bridgerton has been a tremendous hit and with season 3 around the corner, fans can hardly wait to watch their favorite characters fall in love and navigate the ton’s expectations of romance. Based on Julia Quinn’s novels of the same name, Bridgerton has stuck to the heterosexual relationships in the novels, but the author says it would be great to see an LGBTQ protagonist.

Julia Quinn talks of a possible LGBTQ protagonist

Quinn might have written the book series Netflix’s Bridgerton is based on, but she gave up creative control when her stories were being brought to the small-screen. Many of the plot twists have taken the author by surprise just as much as the audience, and even though she acts as a consultant, she isn’t involved in the day-to-day makings of the series.
