Bridgerton season 3 is thrown into chaos as show bosses ax the ‘very dark’ storyline.

Bridgerton’s next series was thrown into chaos after bosses thought some of the storylines had gotten “too dark”.

Sources working on the Netflix bonkbuster production say some of the scripts have had to be rewritten as Shonda Rhimes, the show’s producer, wants to bring viewers more enjoyment.

It is understood there were concerns about a sex act.

Last year it was reported that Ms Rhimes was joined by another executive producer, Jess Brownell.

There is currently no release date for the series, but it is slated to be shown after Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, a prequel focusing on George III’s young wife

A source told The Mail on Sunday: “Filming has been delayed because the screenwriter was not happy with the direction.

“We’ve been told it needs the fun back so there are changes, which of course means delays. One thing is for sure though, the production team wants to please Bridgerton fans so they can enjoy it just as much as they have in the past.

“There are some elements that Shonda is just not happy with and that she wants to change. Some of it got very dark.”

In 2021 it was announced that there would be a third and fourth series from Bridgerton following the success of the first two. The series is based on the romantic novel series by American author Julia Quinn.
