It is a truth universally acknowledged that every runaway regency hit will be sequelled into oblivion – and such is the case with Bridgerton, which is now back for its third season (not counting its spinoff series Queen Charlotte).
To qualify, this is season three, part one – part two drops a month later, for maximum effect. With different characters taking centre stage each series, this time it’s the turn of Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton (Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton) to take the spotlight. Their relationship (known by devoted followers of the books as ‘Polin’) is a fan favourite and expectations ahead of the show were high.
