‘Bridgerton’ star Coughlan calls for more complex female roles

In this video, E! News turns the focus onto ‘Bridgerton’ star Nicola Coughlan’s recent essay for ‘The Guardian’, reflecting on her career, and talking about why more intricate female roles are needed in future TV shows.

“So much television allows for, even centres on, deeply flawed male characters, far less so women,” wrote the 34-year-old actress, who plays Penelope Featherington in the Netflix period drama.

“It made me wonder how many complex women have been toned down, or removed from our screens on the basis that women have to be likable above anything else.”
