We've barely recovered from season four of Bridgerton, but now details of series five have been announced - with a new romance to set hearts aflutter.
Every season focuses on one central romance featuring a member of the Bridgerton family - and it's the turn of the reserved and somewhat mysterious Francesca, played by Hannah Dodd.
She will have a love story with Lord Kilmartin's cousin Michaela, played by Masali Baduza, and a teaser trailer released on Tuesday showed the pair touching hands.
While same-sex romance has featured in Netflix's hit period drama previously, this will mark the first time it's been part of the central storyline.
Dodd said: "[Those love stories] have traditionally been excluded from things like period dramas - and queer people did exist, have always existed, and will always exist. So they deserve a love story just like everybody else."
