Bridgerton season 3 is set to premiere on Netflix in May, with a focus on the characters of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, known as “Polin.” This season departs from the order of Julia Quinn’s novels, choosing to focus on the fourth book instead of the third. The season will explore the evolving relationship between Colin and Penelope, potentially transitioning them from friends to lovers.
The upcoming season will be released in two parts, with the first four episodes arriving on May 16 and the remaining four on June 13. Viewers can expect to see new developments in the relationships between the characters, as well as some surprises and challenges for Colin and Penelope. The show will continue to delve into the Regency-era romance and drama that has garnered it a large fan base.
Season 3 of Bridgerton will feature a storyline centered around Penelope’s search for a husband while maintaining her secret identity as Lady Whistledown. Colin, returning from his travels with a new sense of confidence, offers to help Penelope find a suitable match but soon realizes his feelings for her may go beyond friendship. The season will also explore the rift between Penelope and Eloise, as well as other character dynamics within the ton.
The returning cast for season 3 includes Luke Newton, Nicola Coughlan, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, and Claudia Jessie, among others. New cast members such as Hannah Dodd and Daniel Francis will also join the ensemble. While fan-favorite characters like Daphne and Simon will likely make appearances, the season will primarily focus on Colin and Penelope’s storyline.
Netflix has already confirmed that there will be a season 4 of Bridgerton, with plans to continue exploring the love stories of each of the Bridgerton siblings over future seasons. The end of season 3 will provide clues as to which sibling’s story will be featured next. While the show has deviated from the order of the books, it still intends to cover the romantic journeys of all the siblings.
Trailers for season 3 offer a glimpse of the evolving relationships and conflicts within the show, including the tensions between Penelope and Colin, as well as the continued romance between Kate and Anthony. Viewers can expect to see more drama, romance, and intrigue as Bridgerton returns for its highly anticipated third season.
