Dear readers, the “Polin” chapter has officially come to a close. “Bridgerton” season 3 consisted of eight episodes — which were released in two parts on Netflix — that delved into the friends-to-lovers relationship between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), the youngest Featherington daughter who is secretly Lady Whistledown. (You know, the iconic chronicler of all the tittle-tattle of the high-class London Ton, voiced by the one and only Julie Andrews). It all culminated in a 'Bridgerton' season 3 finale that moved Shonda Rhimes to tears.
Along with being the only “Bridgerton” edition so far to be split into two parts, season 3 also differed from previous installments of the show in that it diverged from the story order of Julia Quinn’s popular novel series, on which the Netflix hit is based. As on page, each season spotlights a given member of the eponymous Bridgerton family as they navigate the marriage market: the first season focused on the rollercoaster relationship between eldest Bridgerton daughter Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), while the second followed the illicit romance between Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and his intended's sister, Kate (Simone Ashley).
