Yes, the main storyline was about Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s ( Jonathan Bailey) tumultuous relationship with Kate Sharma ( Simone Ashley).

Since the show had been following the order of the books up until this point, with Seasons 1 and 2 based on the first and second novel of the series, respectively, it wasn’t without surprise that fans received the news that there was a considerable change on the way.īut what’s important to notice here is how Polin-centric Season 2 of Bridgerton was. Penelope and Colin’s story is the main plot of the series' fourth novel, Romancing Mister Bridgerton.

Now, almost a year later, the streamer has confirmed that Colin and Penelope will indeed be the main focus of the upcoming season. Way back in May 2022, Coughlan suggested that Netflix had plans to center the third season of its hit Regency series around this fan-favorite couple. If you’re unfamiliar with the lingo, Polin is the fan-given name for the love story between Penelope Featherington ( Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton ( Luke Newton). Season 3 of Netflix’s Bridgertonwill be all about Polin. Benedict Bridgerton ( Luke Thompson) finally getting his shot at true love will have to wait a while longer. This time, however, things might not play out as expected. Attention, people of the ton: the marriage mart will soon open its doors once again, alongside the ballrooms and country houses of the wealthiest families of London.
