New Images From 'Bridgerton' Season 3 Feature Kate & Anthony
The third season of popular period romance Bridgerton is set to arrive on our screens this May, and if the latest batch of images from Netflix are anything to go by, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the show's return.
Though Season 3 will focus on the much-anticipated friends-to-lovers romance between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), the show will also introduce the new Francesca Bridgerton, now played by Hannah Dodd (Enola Holmes 2) who has taken over the role from Ruby Stokes (Lockwood & Co.). And "Kanthony" fans will be delighted to see that both Jonathan Bailey (Fellow Travelers) and Simone Ashley (Sex Education) are reprising their roles as Season 2 couple Anthony Bridgerton and his new wife Kate.
While the romance between Simon Basset and Daphne Bridgerton was the central love story of Bridgerton's first season, neither Regé-Jean Page (Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) nor Phoebe Dynevor (Fair Play) will be appearing in Season 3. While this move mirrors the books, which each shift their focus to a different romance with very little overlap between installments, the larger ensemble feel of the show means that the absence of such a popular relationship will be considerably more noticeable. Fans will have to be satisfied with getting a more concrete glimpse into Kate and Anthony's happily ever after this season, which, if the first image of the two of them together is any indication, at least seems to be going quite well.
