Behind the scenes production of The Bridgerton Chronicle is a chronicle in itself. A few days ago we learned about a casting change for one of Bridgeton girls. And especially yesterday, we announced that Season 3 would focus on the love story of Colin Bridgetton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Fetterington (Nicola Coughlan).
In the face of this announcement, fans of the Netflix hit could not have wondered why the series turned away from Julia Quinn’s books on which it is based. Indeed, the first two seasons of Bridgetton are followed by books – focusing first on Daphne Bridgetton (Phoebe Dinevor) and then on Anthony Bridgetton (Jonathan Bailey). Now the third book is about Benedict (Luke Thompson).
Jess Brownell, the show’s new showman after the departure of its creator Chris Van Dussen, explained the choice variety.
“I really feel like it’s time for Colin and Penelope. Because we’ve been watching these two actors since the first season, we’ve already invested quite a bit in them. We know who they are as a person.
I feel that, especially in recent seasons, among them are those tense moments when Colin is very close to realizing that Penelope has feelings for him but cannot reach the end. Instead of water flowing through these dynamics, we wanted to set them up and have their season. This is a really great time to run it.“
A change from the sequence of books that Jess Brownell takes full advantage of. “We are already a little different from books because it is a choral series, while books are focused on one romantic couple. Even if we change the order of the books, Benedict, whom you expect to follow, will be a key element of Season 3.“
Even though they were in seasons 1 and 2, Colin and Penelope still remained secondary characters in the story. Even Penelope in Season 2, with a double identity of Lady Wisldown. This season will be an opportunity to see them from another angle. “These two characters will somehow come out of the shadows“, – claims the participant of the show.Seeing them with a step in the light will definitely be rewarding. “
Still, it will be necessary to wait until the story of Penelope and Colin is discovered, as filming for Season 3 has not yet begun.
