Why "Bridgerton" pivoting makes sense

Fans of the acclaimed Netflix period drama "Bridgerton" were thrown for a loop after it was announced that the show's third season wouldn't follow the order set out by the book series.

According to Variety, the news was revealed by Nicola Coughlan who plays Penelope Featherington during Sunday's FYSEE panel. "Bridgerton," which is based on Julia Quinn's novel series of the same name, has so far followed the same progression as the books — the first season focused on Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon's (Regé-Jean Page) story, followed the first book, "The Duke & I" while the next season, which focused on Kate (Simone Ashley) and Anthony's (Jonathan Bailey) story, as set out by the second book, "The Viscount Who Loved Me."
