Who is the main character of Bridgerton season 3?
While the first two seasons followed the book series in terms of which Bridgerton sibling led the story, things will look different in season three. On May 15, 2022, Penelope Featherington herself (Nicola Coughlan) confirmed that she’ll be leading season three opposite Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). “Like Lady Whistledown, I have been keeping a secret for quite some time and I can confirm to you all that season three is Colin and Penelope’s love story,” she said, per a press release from the streaming service. “I have kept that secret since two weeks into season two. This is the first time I am saying it here.”
Netflix revealed the news on Instagram via a society paper written by Lady Whistledown, a.k.a. Penelope. “Dearest Readers, it is only fair that in this author’s third year chronicling the marriage mart, Mayfair’s social season should find its focus on a third son…as well as a third daughter. This author can confirm that the upcoming season shall follow none other than the budding relationship between Mr. Colin Bridgerton and one Miss Penelope Featherington. With Penelope’s days as a wallflower wearing thin, will she finally take bloom? Time will tell, and as always, so will this author.”
