Netflix’s hit period drama Bridgerton left fans hungry for more when it dropped on Netflix in March, but there is some good news for viewers as Nicola Coughlan has shared a major update on what fans can expect from season three.
The Galway Girl revealed on Instagram that the third series will focus on her character Penelope Featherington’s love story with Colin Bridgerton.
Writing, “Like Lady Whistledown I’ve been keeping quite a big secret for quite a long time… but I can finally tell you that Bridgerton Season Three is Colin and Penelope’s Story”
The Derry Girls star also confessed how relieved she was to share the news with fans.
Writing, “I’ve been keeping the Season Three secret for so long I can’t believe it’s finally out in the world! Bridgerton fans I hope we do you proud captaining this ship! We’re very nervous and excited and can’t wait for you to see (Polin’s) story.”
Nicola actually left a few clues for fans over the past couple of months, about Penelope and Colin being season three’s focus.
In a recent interview, Nicola explained how she is due some steamier scenes in the next seasons. Chatting to RTE Entertainment, Nicola said:
“There’s a scene in a carriage and Penelope and Colin are sort of arguing but then it gets very romantic. It would be such a great scene in the show but the thought of filming it terrifies me”
“I’ve read the books and I know that scene gets very racy. I was in a show prior to this called Harlots and I played a harlot, and my mother has never seen that show, not one scene.”
For now, there’s no release date for when season 3 will land, but given the show’s trajectory, fans believe it could be Winter 2022 when it hits.
