Netflix has revealed exciting news for fans eagerly awaiting the third series of the immensely popular period drama Bridgerton.
The upcoming season will be unveiled in two parts, the streaming giant confirmed.
The initial installment is scheduled for a May 16 release, followed closely by the second part on June 13. Based on Julia Quinn’s beloved novels, the series chronicles the romantic pursuits of the Bridgerton siblings.
The announcement arrived alongside a tantalizing trailer, showcasing snippets of the forthcoming season and incorporating fervent requests from viewers for updates. Returning characters such as Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel), Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh), and the enigmatic Lady Whistledown (voiced by Dame Julie Andrews) were spotlighted in the teaser.
Notably, the new season promises a focus on Penelope Featherington's (portrayed by Nicola Coughlan) quest for independence and love, following her decision to move past her infatuation with Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). The narrative will explore Colin's attempt to reconcile with Penelope while inadvertently questioning his own emotions.
Bridgerton, renowned for its lavish settings, intimate scenes, and gripping plotlines, captivated audiences upon its 2020 launch. The first season centered on Daphne Bridgerton's (Phoebe Dynevor) romance with Simon Basset (Rege-Jean Page), while the second delved into Viscount Anthony Bridgerton's (Jonathan Bailey) entanglement in a love triangle.
With the split release strategy and the promise of captivating storylines, anticipation for Bridgerton's third season is already reaching a fever pitch among its devoted fanbase.
