Aramide Tinubu Netflix‘s acclaimed 19th century-set “Bridgerton” has returned for the first half of its third season, and it’s more lush and enticing than audiences might remember. Season 3 opens as a new crop of debutantes enter the marriage market. As the young ladies prepare to dazzle Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel), the latest Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews) gossip pamphlet is being distributed.
In Season 3 Part 1, familiar faces are spotlighted, new and evolving friendships flourish and blossoming romances infuse an air of freshness into the show. The catalyst for all this change begins with the metamorphosis of Penelope Featherington (a stellar Nicola Coughlan). Back in London after a summer spent in the countryside, Penelope is in the same place we last saw her.
Yet, everything around her has shifted. Still on the outs with her former best friend, Eloise (Claudia Jesse), following their explosive blowup at the end of Season 2, and vexed with Colin (Luke Newton) for the disparaging remarks he made about her, Pen is a lone wolf. Though she’s leaned on her work as Lady Whistledown in the past, the thought of being at the mercy of the whims of her conniving mother, Portia (Polly Walker), or her superficial and cruel sisters, Prudence (Bessie Carter) and Philippa (Harriet Cains), has become unbearable.
Therefore, Penelope decides her only recourse is to find a husband. Unfortunately, stepping into the marriage market for a third season, dressed in loud, garish clothing with a slew of dreadful ringlet curls piled on her head, isn’t going to cut it. Penelope’s initial task is to overhaul her wardrobe.
