Netflix has released the first trailer for Bridgerton Season 3, with the new footage shifting the spotlight firmly onto Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington as their long-running friendship begins to take a more romantic turn.
Led by Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan, the new season follows Penelope as she tries to move on from her feelings for Colin and search for a husband on her own terms, all while continuing her secret life as Lady Whistledown. The trailer leans into the yearning, tension and slow-burn chemistry that fans of the pairing have been waiting to see take centre stage.
Season 3 will be split into two parts, with the first four episodes arriving in May and the second half following in June. Alongside Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan, the returning cast includes Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Claudia Jessie and Golda Rosheuvel, with Daniel Francis, Sam Phillips and James Phoon joining the new season.
For CultureCues, Bridgerton Season 3 already looks like a promising next chapter, with Colin and Penelope’s slow-burn story finally moving from the edges of the ballroom to the centre of the ton’s attention, giving Lady Whistledown’s world plenty of fresh scandal to feast on.
Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 premieres on Netflix on 16 May.
