Bridgerton Season 3 Finally Has A Release Date & Trailer
The third chapter is almost upon us.
Readers, this is not a drill: Bridgerton Season 3 is almost upon us.
On Dec. 12, Netflix announced the show’s third installment will debut in two four-episode parts, marking a major first for the franchise. Part 1 will premiere on May 16, 2024, followed by Part 2 on June 13, 2024. (Previously, Bridgerton released its full seasons all at once.)
Along with the release date announcement, the streamer unveiled a first-look Bridgerton Season 3 trailer, which teases what viewers can look forward to and references to the fan anticipation surrounding the new season.
“Gentle reader, you thought I was silenced,” a voiceover says in the teaser. “But you thought wrong. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown.”
It’s Time To Take A Husband
Netflix previously revealed Bridgerton’s third season will largely center on the budding romance between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) — a couple whom fans refer to as “Polin.”
“Penelope Featherington has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton after hearing his disparaging words about her,” the synopsis teases. “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.”
“People Will Feel Very Satisfied”
Alongside Coughlan and Newton, the third chapter will also welcome back the likes of Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), and Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton), among others.
Coughlan recently teased Bridgerton’s Season 3 release date on The Six O’Clock Show, revealing the new series is “closer than it’s ever been.”
Meanwhile, co-star Adjoa Andoh (aka Lady Danbury) also chimed in on the release date speculation.
“It’s very gratifying because we’ve held our breath for a long time,” Andoh said. “Because of the way the year’s panned out and that the season’s going to come out next year, the anticipation is going to grow and grow. I think people will feel very satisfied.”
