The Bridgertonworld is one of romance and passion. But it’s also about family. All those meddlesome mamas wouldn’t be so obsessed with the marriage mart if the power of the ton didn’t come from the strength of bloodlines and promise of continuing a lineage through children.
Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1, which is now streaming, sees one beloved character get serious about society’s dating game: Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). The Featheringtons’ youngest daughter enters the new social season determined to find a worthy husband. But as Penelope looks to make a match, her longtime pal Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) starts to wonder if his feelings for his chum are strictly friendly.

Nicola Coughlan is nowhere near done with “Bridgerton,” but the star of Season 3 can’t help looking down the road. After making the seamless jump from wallflower to leading lady with Penelope’s story, she recognizes that her character will move to the periphery after Parts 1 and 2 premiere this summer.
“I was talking to Luke Newton about this the other day,” Coughlan told IndieWire the day before “Bridgerton” Season 3 – Part 1 premiered. “There’s something nice about kind of going back to the drawing board thing as an actor. You’re not going back to point zero, but it’s nice to go ‘Now I’ve got to work my ass off again to get a job.'”
Coughlan was conscious of the fact that a lot of actors reach a point where they no longer accept auditions, just offers, but she feels it’s too important to test the waters...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1.] Bridgerton‘s third season concluded Part 1 with a life-altering cliffhanger as Colin (Luke Newton) proposed marriage to his best friend, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), but how will her former bestie and Colin’s sister, Eloise (Claudia Jessie) react to their romance? As fans will recall, Eloise swore she never wanted to see Penelope again after uncovering her secret life as the Ton’s premier gossip columnist, Lady Whistledown in Season 2, but various events brought them together throughout the course of Season 3’s first half. And although Eloise wasn’t thrilled about learning her brother was helping her former bestie to find a husband, she didn’t make too big a fuss over it after Colin reassured her that there was nothing romantic between him and Penelope. Netflix Of course, Colin made this reassurance before he and Penelope shared their first kiss, sending him into a yearning spiral.

This article contains spoilers for Bridgerton season 3 part 1.
In the new season of Bridgerton, Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton) twirl among tacky fake columns. They argue while gazing not-so-subtly into each other’s eyes. Penelope’s skirts swish over a Roman mosaic of two winged gods. The resident mean girl Cressida quips, “Eros and Psyche, battling it out.”
What on earth is Cressida on about? How do Eros and Psyche mirror Colin and Penelope? Most crucially, how does this myth predict the rest of season 3? Dearest gentle reader, this author shall explain all.
Who Are Cupid and Psyche?
Eros is the Greek name and Cupid is the Roman name for the same god of love. His dramatic romance with Psyche appears on ancient Greek vases and statues from the 4th century Bce onwards. The longest written-out version is from a smutty Latin novel called The Golden Ass, by the North African writer Apuleius.

The first four episodes of the season three of “Bridgerton” dropped on Friday and sent fans of Penelope and Colin (#Polin!) into a carriage-induced frenzy. Anthony Ahn, who directed episodes 3 and 4 (yep: those episodes), replied to a few fan questions on Twitter/X, including one about a key ballroom scene that’s left people in tatters.
Tension between the longtime friends began to build in the first episode, after Colin returned to the ton fresh off a journey that took him through 17 cities, where he presumably… learned a few things. Still hurt after the season two ender in which Colin told friends he would never pursue a relationship with her, Penelope is simultaneously happy to see her friend is back, and mad as hell.
By the end of the first episode, Colin has suggested he help Penelope, who is in her third year of the marriage market, with her quest to get married.

While “Bridgerton” is known for its steamy sex scenes, Season 3 lead star Nicola Coughlan asked for even more sultry moments onscreen.
The actress told Stylist (via Buzzfeed) that she wanted to be “very naked” for a particular scene in the latest Netflix season.
“I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included,” Coughlan said of working with intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot. “There’s one scene where I’m very naked on camera, and that was my idea, my choice. It just felt like the biggest ‘fuck you’ to all the conversation surrounding my body; it was amazingly empowering. I felt beautiful in the moment, and I thought, ‘When I’m 80, I want to look back on this and remember how fucking hot I looked!'”

Two “Bridgerton” superfans are getting the wedding of their dreams in the Netflix reality special “The Event of the Season: A Bridgerton Wedding,” airing May 21.
In honor of Season 3 of “Bridgerton” premiering, the streamer dropped a teaser for the spin-off on Friday. The special stars Tiffany, 27, and Shanti, 28, as the lucky couple who experience all the luxury and decadence of the Regency Era in a lead-up to their big day.
The New Yorkers, who first met in high school, have been together for 10 years.
“I wasn’t really looking for someone, and Tiff wasn’t really looking for someone. We were really just in our own bubble in life, going through life and finding ourselves,” Shanti told Tudum. “We were having those tough conversations as friends. We got a stronger connection through that. So that made us be like, ‘Wait a minute, actually, I could see this person as my person.

The slow-moving first season of Amazon’s sci-fi Western “Outer Range,” ostensibly about a void in the middle of a pasture owned by Royal Abbott (Oscar nominee Josh Brolin), didn’t answer many (or really any) of the questions it put forth. By the end of Season 1 we knew for certain that the gaping hole in the ground allowed people to travel through time, but little else was revealed or explained. The show was comfortable to let viewers quietly ponder the meaning of life, the universe, and everything as its many interconnected subplots unfolded. It was also a stunning advertisement for New Mexico (standing in for Wyoming) thanks to the wide sweeping vistas that acted as the show’s backdrop. But new showrunner Charles Murray knows we can’t subsist on beautiful scenery and vague discussions about time forever, so Season 2 — the seven episodes of which are now streaming on...

For any “Bridgerton” fans who relished in Kanthony’s slow burn from Season 2, Season 3 has delivered its fair share of screentime with the newlyweds.
“We wanted a little more time with them to see what it felt like when they’re just playful and in love,” showrunner Jess Brownell told TheWrap. “I think they deserved to have that screentime.”
After Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) jumped through every hoop to suppress their attraction to one another due to Anthony’s romance with Kate’s sister, Edwina, Brownell noted the couple “worked so hard to earn their happy ending.”
Season 3 picks up following Kate and Anthony’s honeymoon, with Kate enjoying her new title as viscountess, while Anthony shares his excitement to “make an heir” with his new wife. The couple’s spotlight in Season 3 extends the tradition kickstarted by Phoebe Dynevor reprising her role as Daphne...

Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from Season 3, Part 1 of Bridgerton.
Dearest gentle readers, the time has come for more Bridgerton.
Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) finally take center stage in Season 3 of the Netflix series. Fans have been chomping at the bit to see Polin’s love story unfold on screen, and this season does not disappoint.
But, of course, Polin isn’t the only source of drama this season.

Penelope and Colin’s relationship blooms in Season 3.
Nicola Coughlan knows you’ve swooned over every sneaky peek of Bridgerton Season 3 ahead of its May 16 premiere. The moment her character, Penelope Featherington, confronts longtime crush Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) about a Season 2 slight? The passion. The time they hop into a carriage together? A winking nod to one of Penelope and Colin’s steamiest scenes in the Bridgerton books. And then there was the video of Polin, as they’ve been dubbed by fans, sharing longing stares in the Bridgertons’ drawing room…
“Luke and I love that clip. But it’s not even in our top five Polin scenes,” Coughlan tells Tudum on a cloudy day in London. “If fans love that, they’re going to lose their minds over Season 3.”
After all, as Coughlan’s friend and co-star Newton says, the Season 3 premiere takes off faster than Kate Bridgerton...

Dearest gentle readers, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) finally get together at the end of Bridgerton season three, Part 1.
The couple, often regarded as one of the favorites in Julia Quinn’s novel series that serves as the basis of the Netflix hit show, have spent their whole lives in love with each other — even if one of them didn’t realize it until now. And their relationship seems to be in the best place ever when the first four episodes end. But, for how long?
In the final moments of Part 1 (the season has a two-part release), Colin admits he has feelings for Penelope.

Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
Three seasons into “Bridgerton,” fans of the Regency drama are used to the sweeping romances filled with everything hot and heavy — banter, drama, and above all else sex. Every season has had its “diamond”—Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) in Season 1, Edwina (Charithra Chandran) in Season 2, Francesca (Hannah Dodd) in Season 3. While Francesca might be of diamond status in the courting process of the season, her brother Colin’s (Luke Newton) long-anticipated romance with Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) might more closely follow the beats of what the “Bridgerton” audience has become accustomed to.
Francesca’s road to romance remains something unlike what viewers have seen before on “Bridgerton” precisely because of her lack of interest in anything romantic or playing the typical heroine. When we first meet Francesca,...

Nicola Coughlan is revealing the prank she pulled on her Bridgerton co-star Luke Newton after learning he was once in a boy band.
During a recent interview with People magazine, the actress, who plays Penelope Featherington, was asked about her favorite behind-the-scenes moments while filming, to which she responded, “We had a fun one in one of the balls where Luke is meant to come in and interrupt a dance.”
She continued, “I had found out a few years previous that Luke used to be in a boy band, and I just thought it was the best thing ever. I had for years wanted to do this prank on him where he comes in to do a dance and instead of the music for the show playing, it would be his song from his boy band, but it took so much planning, it was insane.”

The orchestral covers in Bridgerton Season 3 start off with a big “abcdefu” to the haters as . Making their grand returns are Misses Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift, plus newcomer Gayle and other contemporary hitmakers whose work flows seamlessly into the Bridgerton universe.
Season 3 also debuts Bridgerton’s first original song, “All I Want,” in the second batch of episodes.
But the musical cue that will really have the ton abuzz is the orchestral cover of Pitbull’s “Give Me Everything,” which scores the long-awaited “carriage scene” from the books — when Penelope and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) get intimate for the first time.
“I think everyone was a little bit shocked that they were so in love with this Pitbull song cover for this sequence, of all things,” music supervisor Justin Kamps tells Tudum. “But the song is amazing, and it has this great build to it, and that’s...

[Editor’s note: The following interview contains spoilers for “Bridgerton” Season 3 – Part 1″ including the ending.]
Oh, my God.
The “Bridgerton” team absolutely heard some fans’ complaints about the lack of steamy scenes in Season 2. This time around, there is no such issue.
“It’s all about character,” showrunner Jess Brownell told IndieWire. “In Season 2, we had a lot of discussions about how much intimacy we wanted to see. And it had everything to do with the fact that Anthony is a very rigid and duty-bound character. His arc is about that rigidity. And so him just willy nilly having intimacy before marriage with someone wouldn’t make any sense. Penelope and Colin are not nearly as rigid as Anthony. So it was much easier to show more intimacy this season, and it is definitely a very steamy season.

At the start of Bridgerton Season 3, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) feels lonelier than ever. She has never been kissed. Her mother suggests they’ll be a lifetime spinster-widow pair. And Penelope isn’t even talking to her best friend, Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), to keep her mind off of her mounting obstacles.
Yet, by the end of Part 1, Penelope is on top of the world — and effectively fielding her second marriage proposal in a single evening. After years of pining, Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) has finally proposed to Penelope, leaving her (and fans) breathless. She also still might be a little flush from the pair’s emotional declarations that led to a romp in the back of a carriage set to a Pitbull tune.
“It takes Penelope until the end of their conversation to go, ‘This guy really loves me,’ ” Coughlan tells Tudum. “I think it’s a very slow...

Based on Julia Quinn’s Romancing Mister Bridgerton Season 3 of Netflix and Shondaland’s Bridgerton watches the friends-to-lovers romance between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) bloom.

When Bridgerton first broke through, it felt subversive. As sex has disappeared from film, Bridgerton featured some of the most intimate and erotic sequences on television. Placing this eroticism in a period drama gave the series a unique link. It immediately felt closer to Weathering Heights or Dangerous Liaisons. Now, after two seasons and a spin-off, the novelty has partially worn off. However, Season 3 of Bridgerton does not falter due to complacency. Rather, Shondaland and the showrunners overload the season. While Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton finally take the spotlight, their story sags under the weight of carrying more than a half-dozen subplots.

Four episodes (and two seasons) of romantic buildup on the Netflix period drama between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) culminates in the famous carriage scene from Julia Quinn’s novel Romancing Mr. Bridgerton (of which this season is based), where the two engage in a steamy makeout scene and make it to second base.
Before they know it, the carriage arrives at the Bridgerton family house, and they need a moment to figure out what to do.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1.] It’s been a long time coming—Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton’s (Luke Newton) first kiss, that is. Bridgerton’s latest loves spent the first two seasons in the friend zone only to quickly flip the script just two episodes into Season 3. While Bridgerton set up the friends-to-lovers arc from the very beginning, Season 3 made way for the story to break free when Colin offers to help his “very good friend” learn the ways of wooing through various courting lessons so she can find a husband. But when their scheme is blown up after Eloise (Claudia Jessie) blabs at a ball, Penelope feels hopeless about her prospects, leading to one big ask from her bestie. Reasoning that she could die tomorrow and remain un-kissed, Penelope pleads with Colin to change that status, leading to a surprisingly sweet and poignant first kiss for the couple.

Another season of Bridgerton commences with the same palatial homes, towering floral centerpieces, intricately embellished empire waist gowns, and an inconsistent approach to race.
But this year there is a significant difference, as one of our eponymous Bridgerton siblings now knows the identity of Lady Whistledown, whose newsletter delights and strikes fear into the heart of London’s high society with equal measure. She has been unveiled as Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) by her dearest friend Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), whose brother Colin (Luke Newton) has long been the unrequited object of Penelope’s affection.

Falling for a TV show is not exactly like falling for a romantic relationship. But it’s not unlike it, either. There’s the initial flirtation, when you sample an episode or two to see how it strikes you. If all goes well, there’s the moment of commitment, when you decide to stick around to see the story play out. Then there’s the long haul: With each successive season, the series has the opportunity to deepen and mature — or to stagnate.
With its third outing (fourth if you count the spinoff Queen Charlotte), Netflix’s Bridgerton is no longer in the early days of its courtship with us, and unfortunately, it’s starting to show. While the latest chapter faithfully delivers on everything we’ve come to expect from this world — virginal heroine, rakish hero, high-society scandal, instrumental pop covers — it’s also the first in which the...

“Bridgerton” Season 3 promises plenty of balls and other social events, and music supervisor Justin Kamps pulled string song covers of several big-name artists for the orchestral pop music signature to the Netflix show. The needle drops heighten the luxurious social moments as well as more intimate and emotional ones.
Season 1 included orchestral versions of songs like Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams,” Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You,” Shawn Mendes’ “In My Blood,” Billie Eilish’s “bad guy,” Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” and Sufjan Stevens’ “Love Yourself (Short Reprise).” Season 2 featured renditions of Nirvana’s “Stay Away,” Madonna’s “Material Girl,” Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” Alanis Morisette’s “You Oughta Know,” Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times,” Kris Bowers’ cover of “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham,” P!nk’s “What About Us” Calvin Harris & the Disciples’ “How Deep Is Your Love” and Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking...

With Bridgerton Season 3 ready to take the ballroom, you might be looking to revisit the Regency-era romance. Specifically Season 2, which aired in March 2022 and unlocks the love story of Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Miss Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
Over eight episodes, viewers witnessed the enemies-to-lovers journey of Anthony, a determined aristocrat, and Kate, the headstrong and loving sister of Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran). Although Anthony initially proposes to Edwina, it’s Kate he longs for.
As Anthony and Kate come to realize their undeniable connection, the rest of the Bridgerton family finds themselves in scandals and flirtations. Benedict (Luke Thompson) plays with the idea of art school. Colin (Luke Newton) returns from his travels abroad hungry for a purpose — and finds one by ousting the scheming Jack Featherington (Rupert Young) from the ton. Colin happens to save his “friend” Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) in the process.

“Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan recently told the Los Angeles Times that she came to find shooting sex scenes with co-star Luke Newton in Season 3 to be liberating despite her initial nerves, saying: “By the end of the day, we were both lying under a blanket, not clothed, just chillin’. We were like, ‘This is why nudists do it.’”
Now she reveals in a profile published by Stylist (via Buzzfeed) that she was adamant about going “very naked” for a scene in “Bridgerton” Season 3 as a direct response to the trolls who slammed her weight online.
Coughlan collaborated closely with “Bridgerton” intimacy coordinator Lizzy Talbot on her Season 3 sex scenes, saying: “You go, ‘Ok, what do I want to show? What don’t I want to show? What’s scripted, and what do I want to add?'”
“I specifically asked for certain lines and moments to be included,” Coughlan continued.

It’s been over two years since we last heard from Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews), but that ends on May 16, when Part 1 of Bridgerton Season 3 arrives on Netflix. The first four episodes will begin to unfold the love story of one Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), aka “Polin,” perfect for springtime.
Penelope and Colin will step into the spotlight after hovering in the background of the love stories of Colin’s older siblings Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) in the first two seasons. While Season 2 followed Anthony’s enemies to lovers romance with one Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), it also unspooled some threads with Bridgerton siblings Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Eloise (Claudia Jessie).
Here’s what happened in Bridgerton Season 2 for those who need a refresher:

Dog toys and roving Regency-era balls. Small-artisan hand-etched mirrors and allergy medicine. “Bridgerton” has become so much more than a TV show. Heading into Season 3 of Shonda Rhimes’ massively popular period romance series, Netflix has found that viewers aren’t just invested in the love story of new leading couple Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) — they want to invest in the brand itself.
That means a fandom spending its dollars on a growing merch and events business that helps them celebrate each new season of the show, which is based on Julia Quinn’s romance novels. Equally important, it tides them over between installments (which take quite some time to produce).
Netflix and Rhimes’ Shondaland began building their “Bridgerton” business after the show launched as an almost immediate smash in December 2020. The first step was the fan event “The Queen’s Ball: A Bridgerton Experience,” which...

Welcome back to the world of “Bridgerton,” the Netflix superhit that gets everyone invested in Regency-era romance by making it clear that the only way empire-waist gowns work is when they’re torn off by hereditary nobility. As it’s been a while since our last opportunity to mingle with the Lords and Ladies of the ton, here’s a refresher on who’s who (and who’s doing who) in London town this season.
I. The Bridgertons
The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) and her children stand at the center of London society, partially because their unlimited funds make them a financially desirable family to marry into, but also because they’re all the kind of hot that makes one stop and go “No,...
