Bessie Carter on why Netflix's Bridgerton was such a hit

A funny and romantic escape from the 2020 Covid lockdowns is why the Netflix series Bridgerton became such a global phenomenon, according to British actress Bessie Carter.

Carter also spoke to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg about her character's "funny-steamy" moments in the popular Netflix series, as well as her future on the show.

In an interview alongside her mother, actor Imelda Staunton, Carter said she couldn't reveal if she would return for a fourth season.
