Thoughts We Had While Watching Netflix’s ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3

Queen Charlotte’s swan wig is jaw-dropping. Motorised crystal swans nestled inside the wig? I believe we’ve discovered the diamond of the season.

Alert the ton: it is this week that the third season of Bridgerton sees its much-anticipated release on Netflix. This comes more than two years following the deliverance of the second season in March 2022. 

Set amidst the splendour of 1813, each season of the period drama pivots around a different Bridgerton sibling: season one focused on Daphne, season two on Anthony, and now, season three on Colin Bridgerton. For those unacquainted with the series, Bridgerton is the captivating adaptation of the book series of the same name by American author Julia Quinn. 

On 16 May 2024, the streaming platform unveiled the initial four episodes of the season, with the remaining quartet scheduled for release on 13 June 2024. This third instalment centres on the evolving relationship from friendship to romance between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). 

Whilst some watch it for the romance, some watch it for the aesthetics, and some watch it for Lady Whistledown, it is indisputable that this Regency romance has firmly etched itself into contemporary Entertainment History. 

As avid members of the ton with a penchant for episodic drama, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to chronicle the myriad thoughts that have echoed our minds whilst watching the first four episodes of Bridgerton season 3 on Netflix.
