Netflix is about to release season 3 of Bridgerton, focusing on Colin and Penelope. The new episodes could bring forward a tragedy from the books.
The production follows the story of the Bridgerton Family, a clan of aristocrats living in London during the Regency period, at the beginning of the 19th century. Even though it lasted just a few decades, the Regency is known as a time of great advances and different trends in fine arts, architecture, fashion and etiquette.
“Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington finally giving up on her longtime crush on Colin Bridgerton, after hearing his derogatory words about her final season. She has, however, decided that it is time to get a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, away from her mother and sisters. But without trust, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage market fail spectacularly,” begins the season 3 synopsis.
“Meanwhile, Colin returns from his summer travels with a new look and a great sense of swagger. But he is disheartened to realize that Penelope, the only person who has ever appreciated him for who he was, is treating him with indifference. Eager to regain their friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope to help her gain more confidence and find a husband this season. But when his classes start to go a little too well, Colin must question whether his feelings for Penelope are really just friendly, while Penelope’s growing presence in society makes it even harder to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret. .
When it returns for its 3rd season, Bridgerton will not feature Phoebe Dynevor, who plays Daphne. The actress recently confirmed her departure from the series.
It is worth remembering that Netflix has already renewed Bridgerton for a fourth season, and the actress had already confirmed that she would like to participate in the series again in the near future.
Read on to learn about the impending tragedy in Bridgerton.
Bridgerton’s impending tragedy
As anticipation builds for the next season of Bridgerton, audiences should prepare not only for a sweeping romance between Colin and Penelope, but also for a possible plot involving Marina, which is especially tragic.
In the previous two seasons, Colin was in love with the Featherington ward, Marina Thompson. In the first season, the two were engaged until Marina revealed her pregnancy and ended everything to seek a safer marriage. Then, in season two, Colin visits Marina in her new home, and she reassures him that he should move on and find someone he truly loves.
Unfortunately, the next step in Marina Thompson’s Bridgerton future is a tragic outcome. According to Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton novels, in the fifth book, “To Sir Phillip, With Love,” Marina becomes so deeply unhappy that she takes her own life.
This is obviously a huge blow to Colin, but more than that, it sends shockwaves throughout the community. While the world of Bridgerton seems colorful and beautiful, there are certainly darker themes hidden within, and Marina’s disturbing end is a perfect example of how the expectations of the time can hurt rather than help.
Colin needs to find closure in his relationship with Marina, and while her death is a harsh way to receive that closure, it may be the only choice.
Considering that the Netflix series Bridgerton doesn’t necessarily follow the same timeline as the books, as the romance between Colin and Penelope is the fourth book, not the third, it’s unclear whether Marina’s book five story will be covered in the third. Bridgerton season.
However, it seems like a possibility considering how important Marina is to Colin and Penelope’s story. Ultimately, Colin needs to find closure in his relationship with Marina, and while his death is a harsh way to receive that closure, it may be the only choice.
Season 3 will be divided into two parts: the first will be released on May 16th and the second arrives on June 13th.
