Bridgerton season 3 trailer
The full Bridgerton season 3 trailer is out above, but if you're looking for a specific part 2 trailer, you'll be waiting a little while longer for that to come online. It is, however, available to watch at the end of part 1 on Netflix.
"Colin is engaged to Penelope Featherington," Hyacinth beams as we see the family's first reactions to the news. However, it seems not everyone is so thrilled... Eloise warns Penelope that she must tell Colin the truth about her being Lady Whistledown, or she herself will reveal it. Not only this, but the Queen has issued a reward for the gossiper's identity too. It seems like time is running out for dear Pen...
Bridgerton season 3 plot
Bridgerton is based on Julia Quinn's series of eight books, following each of the eight siblings as they find love. The first part of season 3 follows the storyline of Pen's and Colin's book reasonably closely. Following on from their fallout in season 2, the third season begins as the pair reconcile when Pen decides she needs to find a husband to get out from under her family's thumb.
She enlists Colin's help, and it works pretty well when she attracts the attention of some suitors. However, Whistledown soon outs her plan, leaving her pushed back into the shadows. One evening, Colin comes to visit her and she asks him for a kiss, fearing she may never be kissed if not. He obliges, and it changes everything for Colin who soon finds he cannot stop thinking about her.
Meanwhile, though, Penelope has begun being courted by Lord Debling, who plans to propose to her. On the eve of the ball, Colin shows up and tries to win Pen over, resulting in Debling becoming concerned about their attachment to each other. Pen leaves the ball in tears, getting into a carriage home, only to be pursued by Colin. He admits his feelings for her and things get pretty heated. Bridgerton season 3 part 1 ends with Colin proposing to her.
Based on the first trailer, it seems part 2 will pick up right from here. However, it seems Pen's secret will hold her back. As both the Queen and Eloise try to force her to reveal she's Lady Whistledown, our heroine looks very overwhelmed. Not good at all for wedded bliss...
