The sumptuous gowns, passion and romance made Bridgerton an absolute Netflix hit. After two incredible seasons, the Shondaland production will return imminently with a third installment that the streaming platform describes as "ultra sexy." The central couple this time is Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), whose love story will have two parts. In fact, the first will premiere on May 16, 2024 and the second on June 13, 2024.
The video, which confirms the release date of the upcoming chapters, emphasizes the anticipation of fans of the series and is Lady Whistledown who narrates is. "Dear readers, you thought I had been silenced. But you were wrong," assures the enigmatic character.
The third season takes a different direction from Julia Quinn's novels, which inspired it. Instead of delving into the story of Benedict Bridgerton (the protagonist of the third book), the television adaptation focuses on Penelope, who faces a major change now that everyone knows her alterego. It's time to start her own journey through the labyrinth of love. Coughlan referred to her character as "a woman on a mission." "She's ready, she wants to present herself in the marriage market with a new side. She wants a total change and she gets it."
In addition, the synopsis provided by the company expands the narrative arc of Penelope, who has given up her longtime infatuation with Colin after he refers to her in a derogatory manner. The young woman finds it is time to find herself a husband, "preferably one who will give her enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, away from her mother and sisters."
