Let Penelope breathe for a second.

Summary:

  • Bridgerton is a romantic period drama produced by Netflix and Shondaland.
  • The show is adapted from Julia Quinn's book series of the same name. It follows the same structure, with each season devoted to a different Bridgerton sibling.
  • Season 3 tells the story of Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.
  • With a deeper look into the Featheringtons, fans hope to see their reputation improve.

No matter how hard fans try not to get too excited about Bridgerton season 3 now that they've been waiting more than a year and a half for it, it's hard to contain the feelings when there's so much teasing going on. Not a day goes by without one of the cast members dropping another little line to drive the viewers crazy.

From what we've heard so far, Bridgerton season 3 is going to be even spicier than before.

It's going to be hard to top the series of intimate scenes between Daphne Bridgerton and the Duke of Hastings in the first season, or Anthony Bridgerton's passionate speeches to Kate Sharma in the second, but everyone is ready to see what Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington have in store for their run.

However, the juicy romance isn't all that people are rooting for in season 3. Believe it or not, as the Featheringtons become an even more important family, many think they deserve a moment of peace and happiness as well.

The time the show spent developing the characters of the Featherington family was the main point of criticism not only for the first season of the show but also for the second. Though Julia Quinn didn't put as much emphasis on them in her books, Shonda Rhimes took a different route, and it was one of her most controversial decisions.

One could argue that Featheringtons takes too much time away from the main characters' stories, but without showing at least some of their stories, it would be impossible to show viewers the background of Penelope, the main love interest of season 3. It's funny how all of this family's problems seem to have the same origin.

For the past two seasons, the Featheringtons have been haunted by their own cousins. First it was Marina Thompson, a beautiful young woman who came into the Featheringtons' lives with a child and the intention of finding a husband. After almost marrying Colin, she was saved by Sir Philip Crane, only to appear once in season 2.

However, during the second season, her place was taken by another cousin who came to Featheringtons as the new head of the family to replace Penelope's murdered father. When he turned out to be a fraud, he almost succeeded in fooling all of London society and dragging the Featherington name through the mud even further.

At the last minute, Lady Featherington managed to save her situation and make ends meet by playing cousin Jack instead.

Now that season 3 is about to focus entirely on Penelope Featherington, people are expecting a deeper look into her family business and reputation, and we can only hope that the curse of mischievous cousins is finally over.

If you're interested in seeing what's in store for the Featheringthons in season 3, be sure to keep an eye out for all Shondaland and Netflix news and updates so you don't miss the release date announcement. Until then, you can binge-watch seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix.
