The third season of Netflix hit Bridgerton is plunged into chaos as show bosses “remove ‘very dark’ storyline after concerns were raised about a sexual plot.”
Bridgerton’s next series was thrown into chaos after bosses thought some of the stories had gotten “too dark”.
Sources working on the production of the Netflix hit say some of the scripts have had to be rewritten because Shonda Rhimes, the show’s producer, wants to bring more joy to viewers.
It is understood that there were concerns about a sexual plot.
It was reported last year that Ms Rhimes was joined by another executive producer, Jess Brownell.

A source told The Mail on Sunday: “Filming was delayed as the screenwriter was not happy with the direction.”
“We’ve been told that he needs the fun back, so there are changes, which of course means delays. One thing is for sure though, the production team wants to get it right for Bridgerton fans to enjoy as much as they have in the past.
“There are some elements that Shonda just isn’t happy with, so she wants to change them. Part of it got very dark.
