With the Arrival of the 'Bridgerton' Season 3 Trailer, It's Officially "Polin" Season
Springtime means many things: Warmer weather, colorful flowers blooming everywhere, young lovers frolicking in beautiful pastoral settings, and, of course, Polin. (But not the kind that gives you allergies.) Yes, with just over a month to go until its popular period romance Bridgerton returns, Netflix has finally released a trailer for the third season, and the swoon-worthy two-minute clip more than proves that everyone involved with this show knows precisely how hard we've all been shipping these two and seems ready to give us the love story of our dreams.
Wallflower Penelope Featherington's (Nicola Coughlan) charming, seemingly unrequited crush on her best friend Eloise Bridgerton's (Claudia Jessie) elder brother Colin (Luke Newton) has been a focal point of the series since it first began. And now the show is set to finally pay off all that flirting and yearning, with a proper romance --- and a little sooner than expected, at that.
As most fans are probably aware by now, the Netflix series has decided to shift the order in which it is adapting author Julia Quinn's books, jumping ahead to the events of Romancing Mister Bridgerton, the fourth installment in the series, which focuses on Colin and Penelope's romance. Given how much screen time the show has already spent on the pair's friendship, as well as the fact that Eloise now knows Penelope's secret identity as Lady Whistledon, it's a shift that certainly flows better, narratively speaking, than suddenly pivoting the story to focus on Benedict, who is technically the star of the next chronological book in the series. (And could use quite a bit more depth in the show.)
