Bridgerton season 3 part 1 may be fading a bit from viewers’ minds, given that the half-season has ended and is sliding down Netflix’s top 10 charts. But the month-long gap in between parts is almost over, and Netflix is now rolling out big promotions for season 3 part 2, including a lengthy new trailer and some brand new images. As a reminder, the release date for Bridgerton season 3 part 2 is on June 13.
You can check out the trailer below, which is two minutes long and deemed “steamy” as per the Netflix press email I just got. I’m not precisely sure I agree with that given that it’s pretty tame outside of one ab shot, but whatever. Watch the new trailer below:
There are also a number of new photos for the season, which you can check out all over this post, with most at the bottom. Only a few focus on Penelope herself, and the rest are spread out through the larger cast.
Bridgerton season 3 is performing extremely well for Netflix, where the service has said that viewing hours for the show nearly matched all of season 2 despite only being a half season. When the second half is added, those four new episodes will likely make this the most watched season when all is said and done, similar to how we saw viewership for later seasons of Stranger Things really ramp up. If you want to know just how into the Bridgerton universe fans are, look no further than the fact that Queen Charlotte, the prequel from 2023, has been in the Netflix top 10 list for weeks, just because people wanted to watch all available Bridgerton content alongside season 3.
Netflix has once again reminded us of the plot of this season with a synopsis, which you can check out below, long with the other new photos:
“Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. 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 realize 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.
Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.”
See you in ten days for the last four episodes on June 13. The rest of the new images are below:
