The highly anticipated third season of the hit Netflix show Bridgerton has been confirmed and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. The show, which is based on Julia Quinn's novels, focuses on the romantic escapades of the Bridgerton siblings. While the first season adapted the story of Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset, season 2 shifted its focus to Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma.

However, instead of following the order of Quinn's novels, Bridgerton season 3 will take a different approach. The third season will delve into the fourth novel, Romancing Mister Bridgerton, which centers around Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.

In addition, the spin-off series Queen Charlotte sets up an intriguing storyline for Violet Bridgerton. While it is unlikely that she will remarry in season 3, her newfound desire to enjoy life again may lead to scandalous events within the ton.

With its release date set and the promise of a fourth season, Bridgerton season 3 is shaping up to be the biggest yet. Fans can look forward to more scandal, romance, and drama in the Regency Era when the show returns in the summer of 2024.
