As summer begins to heat up, our TV schedule is about to do the same with the return of Netflix’s wonderfully debauched depiction of Regency life in the much-anticipated third series of Bridgerton. This time back in “the ton”, the story focuses on the (so far) unrequited love interest between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and the third “perfectly handsome” Bridgerton son, Colin (Luke Newton), as Lady Whistledown herself puts it.
Netflix is keeping keen viewers on their toes by drip-feeding the series in two parts, between May and June. Though if you’ve read Romancing Mr Bridgerton by Julia Quinn, on which the streaming giant’s period drama third series is based, you’ll already know what’s coming – just be sure not to share any spoilers with the rest of us.
