New season of “Bridgerton”: Finally powdered sugar with a side dish of meat again

 

Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington in "Bridgerton"

Shirt off, muscles out: “Bridgerton” on Netflix also offers everything fans love about the historical romance in its third season. And still has a few weaknesses. 

It doesn't take ten minutes in the third season of "Bridgerton" until the new leading actor Luke Newton alias Colin Bridgerton shows bare skin. “Under what foreign sun did your figure gain so much?” jokes his brother Benedict (Luke Thompson) as Colin casually peels off his Regency shirt and shows off his muscles. The third season of the Netflix hit knows what the fans want and relies on the tried and tested mix of colorful costumes, opulent sets and lots of sex and drama. 

ch season focuses on the love story of one of the noble Bridgerton siblings. This time it's the turn of Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), who has a good friend in the inconspicuous Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). She is considered a wallflower and has longed for Colin from afar in previous seasons - but her love was not reciprocated. That's exactly what should change now. In the trailer you can see Penelope looking for a man - and thus making Colin think. The foretaste is well received by the fans.  

Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan wows in “Revenge dress”

Because in the second season, the makers of the Netflix show had already managed to make the new main roles particularly shine. At that time, Jonathan Bailey's Anthony Bridgerton transformed from a supporting role to an attractive main character. That's exactly what fans are excited about when they first look at season three: "The 'glow up' is amazing," is raved in the comments online. One detail in particular causes delight: "Penelope looks simply breathtaking in the green dress!" it says on YouTube and on Instagram the outfit was immediately dubbed the "revenge dress". 

What is missing so far? The sex scenes that “Bridgerton” is infamous for. In the trailer, Luke Newton aka Colin can be seen briefly shirtless, but fans can be sure that the series will remain revealing as usual. "I think we won the sexiness competition," Coughlan revealed on a recent talk show. When filming the intimate scenes, it helped that she and Newton had known each other for so long. Millions of fans will soon be able to watch the result on Netflix: the first part of the new season will be released on May 16th and part two on June 13th.
