In a delightful Christmas surprise, Netflix granted Bridgerton enthusiasts a special peek into the much-anticipated Season 3, commemorating the show’s third anniversary. Revealed through a captivating poster and tantalizing images, this sneak peek promises an engaging storyline for fans.
The poster, an artistic mirror reflecting Penelope Featherington (portrayed by Nicola Coughlan), hints at her pivotal role in the upcoming season. With teasing images suggesting an impending romance between Penelope and Colin Bridgerton (played by Luke Newton), drawing inspiration from Julia Quinn’s ‘Romancing Mister Bridgerton,’ fans are in for an emotional rollercoaster. Interestingly, Season 3 will steer clear of Benedict (portrayed by Luke Thompson), the central figure of the third book.
“From Shondaland and new showrunner, Jess Brownell, Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season,” Netflix’s official synopsis reads. “She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly.”

What unfolds in this upcoming season?
Netflix tantalizes, “Colin returns from his travels transformed, exuding newfound confidence. Yet, Penelope, once his unwavering supporter, keeps her distance. Seeking to repair their friendship, Colin takes on the role of Penelope’s mentor in confidence-building. But as his guidance begins to stir unexpected emotions, Colin grapples with the complexity of his feelings towards Penelope. Meanwhile, Eloise forges an unlikely friendship, causing a rift with Penelope. And as Penelope’s prominence in high society surges, safeguarding her identity as Lady Whistledown becomes increasingly challenging.”
