“New ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 Part 2 Trailer Reveals Penelope’s Dilemma: Balancing Love and Secrets as Lady Whistledown
Dearest gentle reader, get ready for Polin’s betrothal. Or, will Lady Whistledown get in the way of the lovely wedding, as she has done in seasons past?
Netflix has unveiled the trailer for the second half of “Bridgerton” Season 3. As the fan-favorite pairing, Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), prepare for their unexpected-to-the-ton wedding, Penelope must face the looming threat that Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jesse) knows her secret identity as the gossip wordsmith, Lady Whistledown. At a ball, Eloise toasts the two’s betrothal, dedicating it to “Truly knowing each other completely.”
The trailer raises the question: Can Penelope keep up her double identity as Lady Whistledown? Or will Colin discover her secret, and call off their hasty marriage?
Part 1 of the season saw Colin coaching Penelope in her search for a husband, with her almost finding love in Lord Debling (Sam Phillips). However, following a steamy scene between the two friends at the end of the first part, Colin proposes to Penelope. It is unclear whether or not Eloise, who has known that Penelope was Lady Whistledown since the end of Season 2, will reveal the truth to Colin and the ton.
Season 3 of “Bridgerton” was split in two, and the four-episode first part was released May 16. The first half scored the largest debut in the series’ history, garnering over 41 million views in the first four days of streaming.
Part 2 of the season, which also boasts four episodes, is set to drop June 13.
