Dearest readers, exciting news has arrived! Netflix has unveiled yet another teaser trailer for Season 3 of Bridgerton, and we can hardly wait for May 16 to arrive. The newly released clip offers a charming glimpse of our favorite couple. It opens with Francesca Bridgerton (portrayed by Hannah Dodd this season) seeking a private moment with her brother, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), at a lavish ball. “Brother, I should like a moment alone,” she requests. As he agrees, he catches a glimpse of his beloved wife, Kate (Simone Ashley), chatting with their mother, Violet (Ruth Gemmell). Anthony then informs his mother that Francesca needs a moment before taking the opportunity to dance with his stunning bride, saying, “I should like to use that moment alone with my beautiful wife.” While it’s clear that this season will primarily focus on Penelope and Colin, Netflix ensures fans get their fill of Kanthony.
We’ve known for some time that Season 3 will center around Penelope and Colin’s story (thanks to the source material), but this teaser gives us a taste of what fans can expect on screen. Now we just have to get through winter and into spring! The latest news about Season 3 dates back to December when Netflix revealed the release schedule. Yes, that’s right; the upcoming season will be split into two parts: the first four episodes will premiere on May 16, followed by the next four on June 13. Lady Whistledown herself teases in the trailer, “Gentle reader, you thought I was silenced, but you thought wrong.” Given that production for Season 3 began back in July 2022, this news has been long-awaited, but it seems Lady Whistledown is ready to share some fresh gossip from Regency Society.
What Has Transpired So Far?
Spoiler alert! Season 1 showcased Daphne Bridgerton’s (Phoebe Dynevor) romance with the dashing Simon Basset (Rege-Jean Page), which was a significant factor in the show’s rapid rise to fame. Season 2 switched gears to focus on the slow-burn romance between Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma, which was just as steamy, albeit in a different manner. Notably, Page did not return for Season 2.
What Love Story Will Season 3 Revolve Around?
While Julia Quinn’s third book highlights Penelope and Colin’s romance, the Netflix installment will delve into the evolving relationship between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). Although things start off on a rocky note (after hearing Colin’s unkind remarks about her in Season 2, Penelope decided to move on), she is ready to find a husband who can support her double life as Lady Whistledown. However, her attempts at the marriage market don’t go as planned. Colin, back from his travels with newfound confidence, realizes that his best friend, who has always accepted him, is no longer talking to him. To mend their friendship, he offers to help her find a husband, leading to unexpected developments. Meanwhile, Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), who happens to be Penelope’s best friend, is determined to uncover the true identity of Lady Whistledown.
Returning Cast and New Characters
As for the cast of Bridgerton Season 3, many familiar faces will return, including Coughlan, Andrews (the voice of Lady Whistledown), Newton, Jessie, and others. Unfortunately, Dynevor will not reprise her role as Daphne, and Page isn’t expected back either. New characters will join the mix, with Netflix announcing a few suitors for the marriage mart.
