Because of the way the year's panned out and that the season's going to come out next year, the anticipation is going to grow and grow.
"I think people will feel very satisfied," she added.
Adjoa also gave fans an idea of what to expect from the plot of season three, teasing more "intrigue and romance".

"More intrigue, more romance, more fabulous outfits, locations, and a bit of 'how's your father,' of course," she explained, adding: "If you like the show, you're going to get more of the same with bells on this season."
What will Bridgerton season three be about?
Season three will focus on Colin Bridgerton and Lady Penelope Featherington. The series follows on from Penelope's heartbreak at the end of season two, when she overheard Colin's disparaging words about her at the Featherington Ball. Watch the moment in the clip below.
In the new episodes, Penelope is looking for a husband, and, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown. "But lacking in confidence, Penelope's attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly," the synopsis continues.
It adds: "Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly."
