Is there a trailer for Bridgerton season 3?
Not quite yet, though Netflix did release a first clip from the new season on X on February 1.
A second then followed on Valentine’s Day, showing an emotional exchange between Colin and Penelope.
Is Bridgerton Season 3 based on a book?
Yes. The Netflix sensation’s first season, which centered on Daphne and Simon’s romance, was based on the first novel in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series, The Duke and I, while Season 2, which followed Anthony and Kate, took its plot from the second book, The Viscount Who Loved Me. As a result, fans had assumed that Season 3 would track Benedict’s path to wedded bliss as laid out in the third book, An Offer From a Gentleman, but in May 2022, Variety reported that this would not be the case. Instead, the show would be skipping ahead to explore Colin and Penelope’s relationship further, as Quinn does in the fourth book, Romancing Mister Bridgerton. Nicola Coughlan herself confirmed the news during a Netflix panel discussion in Hollywood, adding, “I have kept that secret since two weeks into season two.”
