Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma take the spotlight in season two of "Bridgerton," and we're already peeking ahead to the next installment of the epic Netflix romance series. Back in early 2021, just weeks after announcing the show's season two renewal, Netflix picked up "Bridgerton" for a third and fourth season. This means that, even as we're still reeling from season two, we can also spend some time paying attention to his siblings, who are soon to be the leads of their very own seasons.
Season three of "Bridgerton" probably won't be gracing our screens for quite a few months. But thanks to what we already know from Netflix (and from Julia Quinn's Bridgerton book series), we have a few ideas about what we can expect to see.
On May 16, Netflix shared some major news about the plot of the new season. The streamer confirmed that season three will tell Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope's (Nicola Coughlan) story. If the show followed the order of the books, season three would've followed the second-oldest brother, Benedict, but Netflix decided to adapt the plot of the fourth book, "Romancing Mister Bridgerton," instead.
"I feel like if you see Penelope fawning over this boy for another season, you'll be like, 'Get it together! Come on, move on and get over it,'" Coughlan told Netflix's Tudum. "['Bridgerton' season three showrunner Jess Brownell] has talked to Luke and I through the season, and I think people are going to be really obsessed. I think book fans are going to be happy."
The news came days after Netflix made the surprising announcement that it had recast the role of Francesca Bridgerton, the sixth Bridgerton child and third Bridgerton daughter, on May 12. It wrote on Twitter, "Hannah Dodd ('Anatomy of a Scandal') will star as Francesca Bridgerton in Season 3. She takes over the role from Ruby Stokes who is moving on to star in Netflix's 'Lockwood & Co.' Can't wait to welcome Hannah to the family."
