Netflix today announced additional cast for Bridgerton Season 5 which will focus on Francesca Stirling (Hannah Dodd) her late husband John’s cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza). Season 5 is currently in production.

New cast joining Season 5 are Tega Alexander (Mobland, Red Eye) as Christopher Anderson, the son of Lord Anderson, Jacqueline Boatswain (After the Flood, Carnival Row) as Helen Stirling, Michaela’s mother, and Gemma Knight Jones (MobLand) as Lady Elizabeth Ashworth, an old friend of Michaela’s.

Season 5 Synopsis: “The fifth season of Bridgerton spotlights introverted middle daughter Francesca (Hannah Dodd). Two years after losing her beloved husband John, Fran decides to reenter the marriage mart for practical reasons. 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.”

Character descriptions:

Christopher Anderson: A Regency-era Casanova who could give the Bridgerton bachelors a run for their money. Yet behind his cheeky facade lies a current of self-doubt that threatens to unravel him. The son of Lord Anderson will make his mark on society, one way or another…

Helen Stirling: Michaela’s mother. Mrs. Stirling is the very source of her bold daughter’s spirit. Like any mama, Helen seeks to guide — and occasionally push — her daughter through London’s social season, with equal measures of vivaciousness and tough love.

Lady Elizabeth Ashworth: Michaela’s old friend. She serves as Michaela’s confidante and guide to London. Beneath Elizabeth’s playful charm lies a grounded realist who is wise to the unspoken rules of society.
