The film's left-leaning bias stems primarily from its color-conscious casting, which re-imagines a racially integrated aristocracy, and its consistent critique of restrictive gender roles and societal expectations for women, championing individual agency and inclusivity within a historical romance framework.

Bridgerton demonstrates significant DEI through its explicit and intentional recasting of numerous traditionally white historical roles with minority actors, particularly within prominent noble families and the monarchy. While the narrative explores societal norms and expectations, it does not explicitly frame traditional identities negatively.
