Bridgerton’s highly anticipated third season is set to make its return to Netflix, and fans got a sneak peek of the upcoming romance between Penelope Featherington (played by Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) in the recently released trailer. In the new installment, Penelope, a hopeless romantic, decides to take matters into her own hands and give up on her crush on Colin. She boldly declares, “I cannot live at home any longer. I must take a husband!” Colin, seeing her distress, offers his help, saying, “If a husband is what you seek, let me assist you. After all, aren’t we friends?”
Despite Penelope’s efforts, it seems she is struggling to attract a suitable suitor, which leads her to tell Colin, “I would not be angry if you found me to be a lost cause.” The tension between them continues to grow, and Colin’s sister Eloise wonders if Penelope’s true intentions lie in seeking a husband in Colin. The trailer then shows Penelope transforming herself with stunning dresses in the hopes of catching Colin’s attention, and it seems to be working as he begins to notice her beauty.
In a conversation with his mother, Colin ponders the foundation of love and asks, “Mother, do you believe the best foundation for love is friendship?” His mother responds, “It is rare, but you must follow your heart!” This further fuels the anticipation of whether their friendship will evolve into a romantic relationship.
The trailer ends with a captivating scene of Penelope and Colin meeting in a garden at night, leaving viewers breathless and eager to see if their friendship will indeed take a romantic turn. Fans took to social media to express their excitement and anticipation for Penelope and Colin’s story, with one user exclaiming, “I will be seated. I’m so happy to see Penelope and Colin’s story.” Another fan remarked on the pain and turmoil between the two characters, noting that it makes their love story even sweeter in the end. The palpable tension between Penelope and Colin has left fans buzzing, with one user confirming their theory that Colin realizes he’s in love with Penelope.
