'Bridgerton' returns for Season 3: How to watch romance between Colin and Penelope
View Date:2024-12-23 22:30:20
Lady Whistledown is about to find herself in the center of the town's next romance.
The first part of "Bridgerton" Season 3 drops on Netflix Thursday after months of anticipation. The third season of Shonda Rhimes' historical romance series will tell the love story between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).
It was last revealed that Penelope was Lady Whistledown, the town's anonymous gossip writer who chronicled the romances between Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page) as well as the one between Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) and Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey).
In the third season, Penelope will grapple with the aftermath of overhearing Colin, her longtime crush, saying he will never court her and her fallout with best friend Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie).
The Emmy-winning show returns after the release of the prequel series "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story," which premiered on May 2023 and portrayed young Queen Charlotte's marriage to King George of England.

Where does Season 3 of 'Bridgerton' pick up from?
In Season 3, Penelope gives up her crush on Colin and decides that it's time for her "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," according to Netflix.
But she lacks confidence. Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his travels and is disheartened by Penelope's cold shoulder.
"Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season," Netflix says. "But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly."
