However, since the enchanting premiere of the second season in March 2022, fans have been on the edge of their seats, longing for the next chapter in this royal saga aka Bridgerton season 3. And now, Netflix has dropped the official trailer of Bridgerton season 3 Part 1, along with the confirmation of its 2024 release date, and there’s a lot to look forward to.
The spinoff, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, provided a delightful interlude in 2023 but the thirst for more Bridgerton drama remains unquenched. As Netflix officially confirmed the renewal for both a third and fourth season on April 13, 2021, the excitement among Bridgerton fans is justified.
So, if you can’t wait for Shonda Rhimes’ magic to unfold on your screen and see another Bridgerton sibling find and court ‘the one’, here’s everything you need to know about Bridgerton season 3, its 2024 release date, likely plot, cast and more.

As the new trailer gives glimpses into the blooming romance between Colin and Penelope, it also reveals the release dates of the new season which the “dear reader” will get to watch in two parts. Part 1 is slated for release on 16 May 2024, followed by Part 2 on 13 June 2024. There will be eight episodes in total for season 3.
But why split season 3 into two parts, you ask? Well, Netflix has a strategic motive behind this move. By spacing out the release over two months, the streaming platform is aiming to retain subscribers for a more extended period. This approach, previously employed with successful series like Stranger Things and The Crown, ensures a more prolonged engagement period from fans.
Unveiling the storyline and plot of Bridgerton season 3
Each new season of Bridgerton focuses on the romance of different siblings of the Bridgerton family.
To that effect, season 3 will focus on the captivating love story between Lady Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton. Drawing inspiration from Romancing Mister Bridgerton by Julia Quinn, looks like the third season will likely open with Penelope abandoning her longtime crush on Colin due to his hurtful comments. As their paths cross again, viewers will be treated to a tale of mentorship, self-discovery and the complexities of friendship turning into something more.
In the trailer, we see there’s a new Lord in town who is looking for a wife and catches Penelope’s eye. Colin, on the other hand, is trying to figure out if it is just the friendly feelings he has for Penelope.
Interestingly, season 3 is based on the fourth instalment in Quinn’s book series rather than the third novel, An Offer From A Gentleman, which focuses on the second Bridgerton brother, Benedict.
