Mark your calendars! Bridgerton Season 3 will be released in two parts, with the first installment hitting screens on May 16, 2024, followed by the second part on June 13, 2024. Fans can expect a double dose of romance, drama, and Lady Whistledown’s cutting commentary.
Trailer
While a full trailer is yet to be released, the teaser for Season 3’s premiere dates provides a tantalizing glimpse into the drama’s return. Lady Whistledown, voiced by Julie Andrews, assures viewers that she is far from silenced, setting the stage for another season of scandalous revelations.
Bridgerton Season 3 Storyline
Deviating from the order of Julia Quinn’s books, Netflix has confirmed that Season 3 will skip the third book, “An Offer From a Gentleman,” and instead focus on book 4, “Romancing Mister Bridgerton.” The narrative will center on Penelope’s attempts to find a husband while maintaining her secret identity as Lady Whistledown. Colin, played by Luke Newton, offers to mentor Penelope, leading to a journey of self-discovery and complicated emotions.
Intriguingly, the synopsis reveals that Penelope has given up on her crush on Colin after learning of his disparaging words. As their paths cross again, a mentorship ensues, blurring the lines between friendship and something more.

The main cast includes returning favorites and some new faces. Nicola Coughlan reprises her role as Penelope Featherington, alongside Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton and Claudia Jessie as Eloise Bridgerton. Notably, the role of Francesca has been recast, with Hannah Dodd replacing Ruby Stokes.
New additions to the cast include Daniel Francis, Sam Phillips, James Phoon, and Hannah New, who brings her charm as the young widow Lady Tilley Arnold. Unfortunately, Phoebe Dynevor’s Daphne and Regé-Jean Page’s Duke of Hastings will not be making appearances in Season 3.
Bridgerton’s Future
