Colin and Penelope in a custom image for Bridgerton Season 3
The Big Picture Dearest gentle reader, now that the entirety of Bridgerton Season 3 has been released, it seems there is much to discuss regarding the biggest reveals that have completely shaken up the ton. Most scandalous of all is the fact that Penelope Featherington has finally chosen to reveal herself as the popular Lady Whistledown, particularly on the heels of her lovely wedding to Colin Bridgerton .
JESS BROWNELL: Well, it's a lot more responsibility. I would go up to the writers’ room, do my work, and then come home and... never entirely forget about it — I've always been a workaholic — but I could put it down for a little while. Now that I'm a showrunner, I don't think I've put down the Bridgerton backpack for maybe three years straight, and it's a comfortable backpack. I enjoy it.
BROWNELL: Penelope and Colin have been on our screens now for two seasons. We've invested in them, and they've also had this dynamic between them where Pen has had this unrequited crush, and Colin doesn't get it. I think that dynamic is only interesting for so long before it starts just getting frustrating, and we didn't want the audience to turn on Colin, so we needed to change up that dynamic and explore and push their relationship into a new dimension this season.
BROWNELL: Their relationship is very much the secondary love story of the season. It was important to me and to the writers to portray the fact that a friendship breakup can be just as impactful as a romantic breakup, especially when you're in your early twenties and you're figuring out who you are, often based on who you're surrounding yourself with.
Jess Brownell Explains Why 'Bridgerton' Season 3 Plants the Seeds for Francesca's Story Season 3 starts to plant the seeds for Francesca's love story, which book readers know has a very different trajectory than non-readers might be expecting. Why did it feel important to really start laying the groundwork for that? Is it because it's a bit of a heavier story?
I also wanted to ask about Violet's storyline this season. Even in the midst of trying to make sure her children have good matches and that everyone's content and happy, she has to navigate an interesting dynamic in society. On a bigger level, it's an interesting development for her friendship with Lady Danbury and builds from what we saw in Queen Charlotte.
BROWNELL: I feel like Kate and Anthony worked so hard for their happily ever after last season that it felt like we wanted to just live in the reward of their work for a moment and not create any new conflict — certainly not between the two of them, and also not between them and any other characters for a moment, to let them live in the joy. It's in many ways a continuation of seeing that joy.
