While Van Dusen was the showrunner for Bridgerton season one, we saw queer representation through the character of Sir Henry Granville, played by Julian Ovenden, and his friendship with the second-oldest Bridgerton brother, Benedict. Van Dusen mentioned in an interview with Out in 2022 that he included this component of visibility in the show to portray “tolerance in an intolerant time”, and that he hopes to expand on it in the future.
