Bridgerton Season 3 will also see three new actors telling this romance story.

He then promises to assist Penelope in increasing her confidence in order to draw a proposal. Collin will have to confront the idea that his affections for Penelope are more than platonic if his lessons begin to work a bit too effectively. Penelope's feud with Colin's younger sister Elosie (Jessie), who will make an unexpected new friend in Season 3, complicates the Polin situation even further.
