Netflix continuously excites fans about the continuation of love stories they're about to see in Bridgerton Season 3. After giving a glimpse of how madly in love Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Bridgerton (Simone Ashley) are with each other in a sneak peek, the couple has now passed the torch to Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). The streamer has dropped a new teaser focusing on Penelope and Colin. As many already know, these two are about to develop their feelings for one another, and a new preview reveals their intimate interaction in front of a mirror.
The new Bridgerton Season 3 teaser may be short, but it’s enough to make fans swoon at their new favorite love team. The latest update comes from the series’ official Instagram page, with a caption: “A look such as this from Mister Colin Bridgerton would surely make even the most perennial of wallflowers swoon, would it not?” Surely, many hearts flutter upon seeing these two.
It all begins with Penelope looking emotional in front of the mirror. But despite her gloomy appearance, she looks incredibly stunning in her classic aqua and pink gown. As she stares at herself in the mirror, Colin slowly approaches her from behind, and she lovingly looks at him. Colin puts his hand on Penelope’s shoulder while the latter carefully traces his fingers. As their eyes meet and they both look in the mirror, they turn to face each other.
What is the significance of the mirror in Bridgerton Season 3?
The mirror will play a significant role in Bridgerton Season 3. Aside from this new preview, it’s also featured in the series’ previously revealed poster. In the visual, Penelope’s face reflects in the mirror while holding it. “Even a wallflower can bloom,” it reads. That said, the mirror emerges as a central motif of the new season, symbolizing “honesty, self-reflection, and perception.”
The new teaser hints at a steamy moment from Julia Quinn’s fourth novel, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, on which the third season is based. So, as Colin wishes to have an intimate scene with Penelope in front of the mirror in the book, fans are now looking forward to seeing him make it happen on the small screen.
What is Bridgerton Season 3 about?
Bridgerton Season 3 follows the love story of Penelope and Colin. After hearing him tell his friends that he will never court her, Penelope is ready to give up her feelings for Colin. Penelope decides to join the marriage market and look for a husband who will let her live a double life as Lady Whistledown. But her lack of confidence will affect her search for a better half. Colin returns only to find out that Penelope hates him. So, to make it up to her, he promises to help her regain her confidence and find a good spouse. But between the lessons he gives her, he falls in love with Penelope.
You can read the synopsis below:
Penelope enters Season 3 finally ready to give up her longtime crush on Colin. However, that doesn’t mean she’s done with love. Instead, Penelope has decided it’s time to take a husband — and preferably one who will give her the freedom to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from the prying eyes of her mother and sisters. Lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder. Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly. Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise, who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the town makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.
Bridgerton Season 3 will be divided into two parts, with the first part set to release on May 16 and the second on June 13 on Netflix. Fans can no longer contain their excitement to see Colin and Penelope’s love story shape up finally. After seeing Kate and Anthony end up together in the previous season, it’s time for Polin to take the spotlight.
