First look images from Bridgerton S3 out

Earlier we reported that the third season of Bridgerton will be released in two parts on  May 16, 2024, and June 13, 2024, respectively. On Monday, Netflix released first-look images from the upcoming season. 

In the four stills released by the streamer, there's one featuring Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) alone, and one more in which he's seen with Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). Kate and Anthony, the recently married couple are also seen, while Vicountess Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) is seen with one of her daughters, and Francesca  Bridgerton, played by Hannah Dodd.

The new season will focus on the love story of Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton. In addition to the existing cast, the show will also feature three new actors, Daniel Francis, Sam Philips and James Phoon. While Francis plays a charismatic who attracts matriarchs of the town, reports suggest that Philips play a Lord with unusual interest.

Focusing on the lives of Penelope and Colin, Bridgerton season three will explore the couple’s lives and how Penelope tries to live a double life as Lady Whistedown, while Colin tries to get friendlier with Penelope.

The main cast of Bridgerton also includes Adjoa Andoh, Jonathan Bailey, Ruth Gemmell, Florence Hunt, Claudia Jessie, Ben Miller, Golda Rosheuvel, and Luke Thompson, among others. While Rege Jean Page led the first season along with Phoebe Dyenover, he did not make a return to the second. The latter has also confirmed that she will not be reprising her part in the third season. 

The second season also had Simone Ashley and Charithra Chandran as new cast members. That season revolved around the love story between Bailey's Lord Viscount Anthony Bridgerton and Ashley's Kathani "Kate" Sharma. 

Created by Chris Van Dusen, Bridgerton is based on the eponymous novel franchise by Julia Quinn. The spinoff of the series, titled Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, premiered on Netflix earlier this year and portrayed the life of the Queen and King George III.
