This spring is all about Polin. Here’s when you can watch the two-part Netflix season.
Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan star in season 3.
It’s May, which means Bridgerton’s third season premiere is just a short carriage ride away. The Netflix series known for soirées, scandals and sweltering hot romances is turning things over to Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, or «Polin,» for short.
Based on Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton book series, Netflix’s hugely popular Regency-era show follows the fictional Bridgerton siblings and (so far) details their love stories. Season 3 will be the first not to follow the order of Quinn’s novels, twirling past the third book about Colin’s brother Benedict to focus on the fourth. (But that doesn’t mean the show won’t get to Benedict eventually.) Whereas last season told Anthony and Kate’s enemies-to-lovers saga, this season could potentially push Polin from close pals to something more.
Season 3 is a two-parter with release dates in May and June. Bridgerton will return for season 4, but here’s what you need to know about the next sure-to-be-swoon-worthy season of the show.When does the new season drop?

Bridgerton is set in London in the early 1800s (well, a fantasy version) and has rotated between the romances of Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset/the Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), and Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley). Now, Colin (Luke Newton), the third Bridgerton son, and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), the third Featherington daughter, are finally the main characters, and audiences will find out «how (or if…)» they go from friends to lovers, according to Netflix.
In addition to friendship, hidden feelings have been part of Polin’s journey so far.
