The first two seasons were based on the first two novels, with Season 1 focusing on Daphne Bridgerton's (Phoebe Dynevor) romance with Simon (Regé-Jean Page) and Season 2 on Anthony Bridgerton's (Jonathan Bailey) romance with Kate (Simone Ashley).
While the third book focuses on Benedict Bridgerton's love life, the fourth book's subject, Penelope, will likely be postponed until a later season.
Penelope overheard Colin, whom she has admired for years, stating that he will never marry her during the Season 2 conclusion of "Bridgerton."
Following Season 2, creator Chris Van Dusen stepped down as showrunner, and Jess Brownell took over.
“Bridgerton will always have a special place in my heart and I think I did what I set out to do,” he told RadioTimes in March. “The fact that this show has become Netflix’s biggest English language speaking series ever is something I’m incredibly proud of, and something I’ll always be incredibly proud of. But at the end of the day, you know, it was time for me to move on, and hopefully create that magic again in the near future.”
Another change in Season 3 will be the part of Francesca Bridgerton, which was formerly played by Ruby Stokes. Stokes left Shondaland after landing the lead in Netflix's "Lockwood & Co.," and was replaced by Hannah Dodd.
