BRIDGERTON. First photos of season 3 of “The Bridgerton Chronicle” have been unveiled by Netflix. The release date is long overdue.
The fans of The Bridgerton Chronicle can’t wait to find the series on netflix. If the release date for season 3 has still not been revealed, the streaming platform took advantage of its Tudum event to publish the first photos of this third burst of episodes.
As a reminder, this one will focus on the romance, upset during the first two seasons, between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). They will indeed join forces to unmask Lady Whistledown, who is actually Penelope. You can find the first visuals of season 3 of Bridgerton below.
There will be change in season 3 of The Bridgerton Chronicle. After Regé-Jean Page (Simon) and Ruby Stokes (Francesca), it’s Phoebe Dynevor’s turn to announce that she will not be in season 3 of the Bridgertons. The interpreter of Daphne Bridgerton confirmed his absence during an interview at the Sundance film festival. However, she did not close the door to a possible return for the rest of the series.
If we know that the Bridgerton family will be back for a season 3. The return date of The Bridgerton Chronicle season 3 is indeed not yet known. We know, however, that Netflix has, for the moment, planned to put this new burst of episodes online during the year 2023.
Netflix did not choose to follow the book timeline for season 3 of The Bridgerton Chronicle. The sequel to the hit series will focus on the romance between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Started in season 2, it will therefore be at the heart of the sequel. However, they are only the protagonists of the fourth novel. The idyll between Benedict and Sophie, which occupies the third novel, will therefore have to wait for a next season.
Which actors will be in the cast of The Bridgerton Chronicle season 3? Barring any last-minute changes, all of the main characters, meaning the Bridgerton family and the Featheringtons in particular, and everyone introduced in the first season, should be back for this sequel. Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma) has also confirmed that she will be back and that the marriage between her character and that of Anthony will continue to be developed in the plot. Conversely, Phoebe Dynevor (Daphne Bridgerton) will not be present. Season 3 of the Bridgertons also operates a casting change: Ruby Stokes, who briefly played Francesca Bridgerton, gave way to Hannah Dodd for the role. The first was already engaged on another Netflix series, which is why we only saw her very briefly during the two seasons. The cast change will reveal more about the third daughter in the family.

Regé-Jean Page achieved worldwide success by interpreting Simon Basset, the Duke of Hastings, in The Bridgerton Chronicle. But the comedian announced in April 2021 that he will not appear in the sequel to the series. It should therefore be absent from season 2, devoted to the romance between Anthony and Kate. To justify his departure, Regé-Jean Page spoke to Variety about his discussion with the production before season 1, which had told him that each season was independent and had a specific plot: “I said to myself, ‘It’s interesting’ , because it felt like a limited series. I can participate, I can contribute, and then the Bridgerton family moves on.” However, the actor is not replaced in the role of Simon during this season 2. His wife, Daphne, appears well in this salvo of 8 new episodes, and the Duke of Hastings is indeed mentioned a few times. . However, she will not be in season 3.
