Yet while season 3 will see a return of other fan-favorite characters– consisting of Jonathan Bailey‘s Anthony Bridgerton and Simone Ashley’ s Kate Sharma, whose season 2 love was the talk of the lot– it’s Penelope and Colin who will discover themselves in the spotlight this time around.
And, as Nicola formerly exposed, it could not be a more critical season for her character– both romantically and mentally.
“This year is the year Penelope thought she was having last year, if that makes sense,” the Derry Girls alum informed Shondaland inJune “Because I think she thought that she and Colin were a thing and it was happening, and then she got a really rude awakening at the end. I always say year one is ‘girl,’ year two is ‘not a girl, not yet a woman,’ and this year is ‘woman.'”
She included, “She’s really grown up in these three years. I often think about playing characters who are a lot younger than you, and one of the most important things is not to patronize them and to realize that everyone, regardless of age, is a human being. I’ve been on a bit of a journey with her this time around.”
But while you need to wait up until May to see precisely where that journey goes, keep checking out for more very first appearance images at Bridgerton season 3.
