![]() Brookes mows down some lemon cake, Anthony asks Kate what she thinks of the weather (?!?), and she calls him out on his sham engagement, pointing out that if anybody other than Daphne had seen them that night at Aubrey Hall, they’d be the ones forced to be married. Brookes, a food-freeloading jeweler, waiting to get Edwina’s ring fitted. One day, she comes home to find Anthony and Mr. Meanwhile, Kate’s watching the wedding come together but still keeps fantasizing about her secret, private moments with Anthony. Anthony suggests a modest country wedding, but Her Highness insists that she’ll host the big day in town (and show Whistledown who’s boss in the process). Maybe, over the course of Season 3, we will get to know a different side of Benedict that might make him a more interesting protagonist for Season 4 or even 5.At the top of the episode, Anthony and the Sharmas ( Bridgerton’s newest band?) and Lady Danbury meet with the Queen to discuss the impending nuptials. Ashamed, he decides to quit the Academy in order to become his own man. Season 2, however, ended with him finding out that he wasn’t accepted into the Royal Academy because of his talent, but because of a large donation made by Anthony. He’s nothing but a nonchalant libertine with little to no complexity. So far, we have only met the most carefree side of him, whether through his many love affairs or through his attempt at being an artist. Season 3 of Bridgerton hasn’t propped him up as a protagonist at all. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about Benedict. When the time came for The Viscount Who Loved Me, Quinn’s second Bridgerton novel, to be turned into its own season of television, Anthony was already set up as a tridimensional character. Through his relationship with his sister, Daphne, and his friend, Simon, we got to know a lot about his debauchery and his sense of duty to his family. It was clear for anyone paying attention that the season was setting up Penelope’s story by cutting her off from Eloise and putting her in the right position to be courted by Colin.ĭespite featuring a lot of Penelope and Colin, Season 1 of Bridgerton also devoted a considerable amount of time to Anthony. However, in the background, which stories were slowly unfolding? We got Eloise finding out the truth about Lady Whistledown and breaking up her friendship with Penelope, and we got Penelope putting together the pieces of her heart after being repeatedly rejected by Colin. Yes, the main storyline was about Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s ( Jonathan Bailey) tumultuous relationship with Kate Sharma ( Simone Ashley). ![]() Yeah, no wonder she’s moving on to other men…īut what’s important to notice here is how Polin-centric Season 2 of Bridgerton was. Then, he blames Lady Whistledown for ruining his chances with Marina ( Ruby Barker) in Season 2, In the final episode, after dancing with Colin and being reassured by him that she is, indeed, a special girl, Penelope overhears him telling a group of guys that he would never court her. First, he tells her that, even though he has sworn off women, she has nothing to worry about because he doesn’t even see her as a woman. As a matter of fact, the poor girl spends the entire season being crushed by the things her so-called friend has to say about her. In the Netflix version of the story, Colin’s return from his Eurotrip also takes place in Season 2, and it does nothing to change his feelings for Penelope. Since the show had been following the order of the books up until this point, with Seasons 1 and 2 based on the first and second novel of the series, respectively, it wasn’t without surprise that fans received the news that there was a considerable change on the way. Penelope and Colin’s story is the main plot of the series' fourth novel, Romancing Mister Bridgerton. This is a big departure from the Julia Quinn book series on which the show is based: Quinn’s third Bridgerton novel, An Offer from a Gentleman, is all about Benedict’s romance with one Miss Sophie Beckett, which is yet to appear on the show. Now, almost a year later, the streamer has confirmed that Colin and Penelope will indeed be the main focus of the upcoming season. Way back in May 2022, Coughlan suggested that Netflix had plans to center the third season of its hit Regency series around this fan-favorite couple. If you’re unfamiliar with the lingo, Polin is the fan-given name for the love story between Penelope Featherington ( Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton ( Luke Newton).
