Bridgerton: Season 3
What is Bridgerton season 3 about?
Based on the beloved series of novels by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton follows the fortunes and follies of the titular family as their eight grown children navigate the competitive world of Regency high society in search of love, social advantage, and the odd spot of revenge.
This season puts the spotlight on Penelope Featherington’s (Nicola Coughlan) search for a suitable husband following season two’s finale, when she overheard her long-time crush, Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) disparaging her. And, as fans already know, Penelope is secretly Lady Whistledown, the pseudonymous author of the gossip pamphlet that documents the lives of London’s most prominent high society dons and doyennes.
