‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 official synopsis has drama, love, and marriage
With the announcement of Bridgerton Season 3 filming, Netflix adds a sweetener for fans and has released the official synopsis for the season. It seems that Penelope has had enough of Colin’s charades and decides to only look out for herself. But to stay Penelope’s friend, Colin is faced with his genuine emotions.
“From Shondaland and new showrunner, Jess Brownell, Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. She has, however, decided it’s time 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. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the 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. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly. Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.”

Bridgerton Season 3 will up the ante. Penelope and Colin’s love story has been long awaited, even more so after their cliffhanger in the second season. The third season will also introduce new characters and cast members to the ton.
New cast members for ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 means new suitors for the ton
The Netflix press release confirms the third season will have three new characters introduced to the ton. Stay Close actor Daniel Francis will play the role of Marcus Anderson. Marcus is “a charismatic presence who lights up any room he enters, attracting the notice of certain matriarchs in the ton — and the ire of others.”
Joining the ton also is The Crown actor Sam Phillips in the role of Lord Debling. In Bridgerton Season 3, he is “a genial lord with unusual interests. But with wealth and a noble title to back up his eccentricities, he’ll have no shortage of interest from young ladies this season.”
Wreck actor James Phoon joins Bridgerton Season 3 as Harry Dankworth. The character’s backstory is vague. He is described as “What Dankworth lacks in wit and intelligence, he more than makes up for with seriously good looks.” Is Dankworth a possible suitor as Penelope looks for a husband?
Thanks to the announcement video, fans know most of the leading cast will return for the season. Especially Thompson and Benedict. The series creators teased the third season will further develop Benedict’s story. But fans might have noticed the absence of Phoebe Dynevor as Daphne and Simone Ashley as Kate.
