Florence Hunt (Hyacinth Bridgerton) and Will Tilston (Gregory Bridgerton) – Recasting Addressed
Why would Hyacinth and Gregory possible be recast? Some are wondering if the show will opt to choose actors that we have not seen on screen as children. Bridgerton is known for racier sex scenes.
“[Showrunner] Jess [Brownell] has said the next two seasons will be either Eloise and then Francesca or Francesca and then Eloise, which makes sense. It takes a few years to film, so by the time we get to Hyacinth and Gregory, the actors are going to be well into their 20s. So I think it’ll probably be OK. Will it be weird that we knew them when they were 12? We see child stars grow up all the time,” the book’s author Julia Quinn shared with Us Weekly.
She continued: “As a writer, it was hard to write those two books at first. I really had to let them grow up in my mind a bit and that was hard for both of them. I was really glad it took several years — but even so — I can’t remember how much time passed in the writing. I really had to let them grow up. It was tough.

Showrunner Jess Brownell has shared her thoughts on that subject.
“We are not interested in recasting,” she told Variety. “I think it would feel like a disservice to everything Regé and Phoebe set up in Season 1, and all the beautiful work they put into those characters.”
