Bridgerton – season three trailer

Sparking a huge response on Instagram, it's safe to say that the trailer has gone down a treat with fans. "My polin heart is exploding," replied one. "The most delectable trailer indeed," quipped a second. Meanwhile, a third joked: “So Colin never wears a shirt…I’m in."

While season three will also include plenty of adorable moments between newlyweds Kate and Anthony Bridgerton, the latest instalment is all about Penelope and Colin.

"Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton after hearing his disparaging words about her last season," teases the synopsis. 

"She has, however, decided it's time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from her mother and sisters. But lacking in confidence, Penelope's attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. 

"Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he's disheartened to realise that Penelope, the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder.

"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."

 "I think people will feel very satisfied," she said. "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."
