 Dear gentle readers, welcome back to the ton! Both parts of Bridgerton season 3 are now streaming. While past seasons have introduced a new character for a specific member of the Bridgerton family to fall in love with, this season focuses on a love story that’s long been brewing: Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton’s. Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) has had unrequited feelings for the third oldest Bridgerton boy, Colin (Luke Newton), since the beginning of the show. However, there is an added twist: Penelope is Lady Whistledown and only her former best friend, Eloise Bridgerton, knows.

This season features a majority of the same cast as the first two — minus Phoebe Dynevor, who played Daphne Bridgerton — and introduces several new faces, including the notable additions of Daniel Francis as Marcus Anderson and Sam Phillips as Lord Debling. Keep reading to get acquainted with the cast and characters of Bridgerton season 3.

The third season of Bridgerton has now all released, and it could not be more exciting to see the Bridgerton siblings and the Ton once again. Season 3 continues the stories of fan-favorite characters, while also introducing entirely new faces to the cast. Bridgerton season 3 is based on the fourth novel in Julia Quinn's "Bridgerton" book series, "Romancing Mister Bridgerton," and sees the blossoming romance of Colin and Penelop brought to its natural ending. By now, Bridgerton has a cast that is full of familiar, fan-favorite actors. Characters like Lady Danbury and Queen Charlotte remain pillars of the third season, while the Bridgerton family remains mostly intact, besides Phoebe Dynevor's Daphne, who has exited for Bridgerton season 3. On top of the principal cast, the third installment of Netflix's period romance show introduces new characters. These include new suitors for both Penelope and Francesca, a relative of one of the ton's most powerful figures, and a mysterious figure who will mean a lot more in the future.
