“Bridgerton” Season 3 is expected to wow audiences with a romantic comedy about friends becoming lovers
Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton understood they were moving from supporting roles to key roles when they were getting ready to film Season 3 of the romance series set in the regency era, Bridgerton. It was also frightful.
The heaviest pressure wasn’t on Coughlan yet, so she remembers being at ease while watching the couples from the first two seasons perform. “You can say, ‘I’ll do my little bit but it doesn’t really matter because the main story is over there,'” supporting performers can say, according to her statement to Reuters.
When she and Newton emerged as the main duo for the third season of the Emmy-nominated program, that was, nevertheless, no longer the case. The Irish actress remarked, “I think it overwhelms us still for us to then go into being the main story.”
The Netflix original series Bridgerton, created by Shonda Rhimes’s Shondaland television production studio, chronicles the love adventures of the Bridgerton family as they negotiate London’s cutthroat marriage market. The plot, which takes place in the early 1800s, centers on the scandals and triumphs of the social season as young, marryable nobility searches for love.
The eagerly anticipated friends-to-lovers romance narrative between Coughlan and Newton’s characters Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton is the subject of Season 3, which will be available on the streaming service on Thursday.
According to Newton, “I think a lot of people resonate with that and have experienced that friends-to-lovers trope.” “I believe that’s the reason why everyone is so enthusiastic and eager for the season,” he continued.
Likewise, Jess Brownell, the new showrunner for Season 3 of the program, believes that the romance between
This time, Colin and Pen are a big attraction for the audience. Following in the footsteps of series creator Chris Van Dusen, Brownell stated, “Because it’s a friends-to-lovers story, it naturally lends itself to a bit more humour, lightness, of playfulness, and a familiarity.”
“I believe that humor in particular really speaks to the strength of both Luke and Nicola.” Although Julia Quinn’s book series, which the show is based on, has a different love story before Pen and Colin’s, Brownell thought that TV viewers would value a different chronological sequence.
“We’ve now seen two seasons of Pen and Colin on our screens. As far as we are concerned, we know them,” Brownell remarked. It seemed like the right moment to end Colin’s habit of keeping her feelings for him a secret. We intended to take a different turn and force him to yield to Pen’s feelings,” she continued.
