‘The Bridgertons’ they change strategy. The successful series of the factory of Shonda Rhimesone of the most viewed Netflix, it will not follow the order of the books, as it has done so far. The third season will focus on the love story between Colin BridgertonLuke Newton and her friend and neighbor Penelope Featherington (Nicholas Coughlan)as revealed by the actress herself.
Thus, the fourth novel in the saga created by Julia Quinn, ‘Seducing Mr. Bridgerton’will be transferred to the small screen before the third book, ‘I give you my heart’played by another of the brothers of the clan, Benedict (Luke Thompson). The first two put the focus on the firstborn of the saga, Daphne (Phoebe Dynevore) Y Anthony (Jonathan Bailey)paired with the seductive Duke of Hastings (Regé-Page Jean) and the rebellious Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).
The hidden identity of Penelope
The decision is motivated by the prominence that the character of the best friend of Eloise BridgertonClaudia Jessie, Penelope. And not only by revealing the great secret of her hidden identity, but also by his approach to his great friend Colin. Although, as he has told her on occasion, the young Bridgerton only sees her (so far) almost as her sister.
As explained to the magazine Variety Jess Brownell, who replaces Chris Van Dusen at the helm of production, “I really feel like it’s time for Colin and Penelope, two characters that we’ve seen since the first season and have spent so little time on.” For Brownell, especially in the last season there have been “moments of tension between them in which Colin walks up to the line almost realizing that Penelope has feelings for him, but doesn’t really get there. Instead of staying afloat in that dynamic, we wanted to give it a season, it’s the perfect time.”
It will not be the only novelty planned for the fourth season of this series that has opted, from the beginning, to normalize the presence of black and Indian characters among London’s high society at the time of the British Regency. Because one of the Bridgerton sisters will change her face.
