Given how hot-under-the-collar the previous two installments of "Bridgerton" made fans, it's understandable that Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton wanted to up the ante when it came to those "POLIN" love scenes. We're talking, of course, about Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, our romantic heroes of the upcoming "Bridgerton" season 3. And per Coughlan, the actors weren't scared to give it all they had for those intimate moments.
"Bridgerton" fans got a sneak peek at one such scene last week, when the Netflix gods gifted us with a clip featuring Coughlan's Penelope and Newton's Colin gazing steamily into a mirror at each other, harking back to an infamous sequence from the Julia Quinn book "Romancing Mister Bridgerton," on which the third season is based. (The 30-second teaser also reminded fans of the new season's release dates, with episodes dropping on Netflix in two batches: the first four eps will debut on Thursday, May 16 and the final four installments will follow on Thursday, June 13.)
