*Warning: This article contains Bridgerton season two spoilers*
Bridgerton has captured the world’s imagination and had used dreaming of house dresses, bejeweled tiaras, ribbon chokers, and feather-trimmed heels for the best part of two years.
In December 2020, the Shonda Rhimes-produced show arrived on Netflix with a bang and made us fall in love with actors Nicola Coughlan, Rege-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor, and regency-style drama. A month later, the streaming platform announced the show had become its biggest-ever launched series - outranking The Witcher, Stranger Things and The Queen's Gambit – and reaching 41% of all Netflix subscribers.
After a long, and what seemed like an agonizing wait for fans, season two of the show dropped on Netflix in March 2022, welcoming old faces (Dynevor as Daphne Bridgerton, Adjoa Andoh as Lady Danbury, Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton) and new (Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma and Charithra Chandran as Edwina Sharma).
Unsurprisingly, the second season went down a storm with fans, despite arguably less steamy sex scenes and the absence of Page (aka Simon Basset, The Duke Of Hastings).
Bridgerton fans have since been left in mourning after bingewatching season two in one sitting (who came blame them?), and we're now looking ahead to a third season of the hit TV show, which is currently filming.
HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BRIDGERTON SEASON THREE:
Is Bridgerton season three confirmed?
On April 13, 2021, Netflix confirmed not only a third season for the award-winning show, but a fourth too. Announced in typical Bridgerton style - via Lady Whistledown, of course - the statement read:
Esteemed members of the Ton,
It seems we have a rather special announcement. Bridgerton shall return for seasons three and four. This author shall have to purchase more ink...
Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown
Rhimes, the brains behind the Bridgerton TV adaptation (plus Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and more) also gave a statement following the news:
'From the first time I read Julia Quinn’s delicious Bridgerton series, I knew these were stories that would captivate a viewing audience,' Rhimes said. 'But the evolution of this adaptation would not be a success without the many significant contributions of the entire Shondaland team. This two-season pickup is a strong vote of confidence in our work... Betsy [Beers[ and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue bringing the world of Bridgerton to a worldwide audience.'
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rhimes revealed season three is being written, but wouldn’t shed light on its plot.
Ashley opened up about season three exclusively with Deadline following the release of season two. ‘We’re going to be back! Kate and Anthony are just getting started,’ she revealed.
'We have the amazing Jess Brownell who is taking the lead as showrunner in Season 3. In Season 2, there was a lot of push and pull between Kate and Anthony, there were complications with the family, and then they find each other towards the end. I think everything is just starting. I’d like to see Kate just let go a bit more and play more in season three and kind of swim in that circle of love together. I think they both deserve it.’
