Kathryn Drysdale has praised Bridgerton for casting a diverse range of actors, saying it's been 'the stuff of dreams' to work on the series.
The actress, 39, who plays Genevieve Delacroix, said it's incredible to now be able to work on period dramas 'without having to just play long-suffering slaves or oppressed people' in an interview with Digital Spy.
Her comments come after some viewers of the hit Netflix series, which was seen by 82 million households in its first month and used an 'inclusion lens' to find a stellar cast, had criticised the show for its on-screen diversity.
