Season 3 of Bridgerton has become the number one show on Netflix in only a few days after its premiere. The period drama, created by Shonda Rhimes and based on Julia Quinn’s novels, has definitely stolen the hearts of romance lovers worldwide, launching the careers of its cast members.
The show focuses on the eight Bridgerton siblings and follows a different love story with every installment. After Season 1 focused on Daphne and Simon, Season 2 followed Anthony and Kate, and now Season 3 is all about Colin and Penelope, or “Polin,” as fans called them.
However, the other siblings are still very much loved by fans. One of the favorite characters is Hyacinth, the younger member of the family, who is played by Florence Hunt. Here’s all you need to know about this actress, who, if everything goes as planned, will also have her time in the spotlight in the series.

Florence Hunt was born on February 2, 2007. She is 17 years old. She started acting from a very young age, taking classes at the Television Workshop in Nottingham. She was cast as Hyacinth when she was only 11 years old.
In an interview with Numero Magazine, Hunt said that she did her first professional acting job at the age of seven. “(…) I have known from the second I got onto set that this is all I wanted to do, which sounds very eager for a seven-year-old, but it’s true,” she confessed.
