Netflix confirmed on Twitter that Swift’s ‘You Belong with Me’ and Ariana Grande’s ‘POV’ will be featured in ‘Bridgerton’ season 3, part 2
Colin Bridgerton is about to discover that what he’s been looking for has been here the whole time!
Netflix revealed the tracklist for Bridgerton‘s season 3, part 2 on June 11, and it includes orchestral covers of songs originally by Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Coldplay and more.
Netflix confirmed on Twitter that the second season 3 installment will feature instrumental covers of Swift’s “You Belong With Me,” Grande’s “POV,” Coldplay’s “Yellow,” Demi Lovato’s “Confident,” Ellie Goulding’s “Lights” and Imagine Dragon’s “Thunder.”
Fans previously speculated on X (formerly known as Twitter) that Coldplay’s “Yellow” would be featured on the new season after the Vitamin String Quartet’s Spotify cover for the song changed to clips from Bridgerton.
Swift has had acoustic versions of her songs featured on the popular Netflix show before. Bridgerton previously included Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” in the first season back in December 2020, and “Snow on the Beach” in season 3, part 1.
This will also be Grande’s second song featured in Bridgerton. An instrumental cover of “thank u, next” was included in the first episode of the premiere season.
Bridgerton’s season 3, part 2 will immediately follow Penelope Featherington and Colin’s hasty engagement after their steamy carriage ride in episode 4.
In a recent interview with Luke Newton (Colin) and Nicola Coughlan (Penelope), the actors told PEOPLE how their “goal was for [their love scenes] to seem really authentic to those two characters.”
“I think what’s really beautiful about this season is, the intimacy stuff feels very real,” Coughlan, 37, told PEOPLE.
“It feels very grounded in two people that are not trying to sort of, that they’re awkward in front of one another, this and that, and all of a sudden they become like Lotharios in the bedroom and whatever, they get to be intimate together in a very real and beautiful way, and I think that’s what makes it so affecting,”
In part 2, Penelope will grapple with potentially telling Colin the truth about her work as esteemed gossip-monger Lady Whistledown. In the trailer, Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jesse) warns Penelope that “[Colin] will find out” about her identity and that “until he knows the real you, he cannot possibly love you.”
Colin also seemingly grows suspicious of Penelope, asking her if there “is there some secret you are not telling me” in the trailer as well.
Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell exclusively told PEOPLE that in part 2, “Penelope is the one who’s holding secrets. So when those secrets come into play, she may have a little bit to prove to Colin.”
The first part of Bridgerton season 3 is streaming now on Netflix and part 2 drops on June 13.
