William Earl administrator The first half of Season 3 of “Bridgerton” is almost here, and fans are in a frenzy waiting to return to the Regency-era drama. The first looks of the show have teased the glamor and romance audiences are used to, as well as put a spotlight on Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton), whose romance will be central to the third season of “Bridgerton.” Variety spoke with showrunner Jess Brownell — who took over from Chris Van Dusen — about the biggest burning questions fans have going into the new season.
