Swoon-Worthy Costumes and Unbearable Sexual Tension: Every question you have about Bridgerton Season 3, answered.

Is Bridgerton Season 3 based on a book?

Yes, but Netflix is skipping ahead to Romancing Mister Bridgerton, book 4 in the Bridgerton series.

“More details were revealed by Coughlan and her co-star Luke Newton, who plays Colin, via Netflix shortly after the event[Netflix panel discussion], including the reason for the change in the running order.”

“I feel like if you see Penelope fawning over this boy for another season, you’ll be like, ‘Get it together! Come on, move on and get over it,’” said Coughlan. Of what she knows of their story so far, she said, “I think people are going to be really obsessed. I think book fans are going to be happy.”

BRIDGERTON Season 3 – New Sneak Peek Photos!

Swooooon! We’ve never seen Colin Bridgerton quite like this. We’ve also never seen these exciting photos directly from the set of BRIDGERTON, season three — and we’ve posted a handful of these gems.

We will be updating the JQ Netflix Hub here on JuliaQuinn.com like crazy now that we have airdates and photos coming in. Bookmark it!

Be sure to keep reading through this post for a note from JQ about something very close to her heart. But first, a wee teaser for how exciting those new photos are — go ahead, click over — indulge yourself!

Speaking of seasons, the gift-giving season may have officially closed, but — New JQ merch! — surely you deserve a JQ-universe gift for yourself! Or think of all those January and February birthdays coming up. TeamJQ just keeps adding to JQ Merch page and JQ herself won’t stop heading into University Bookstore to autograph games, puzzles, and teas, and sign and personalize (if you want) books.

Be sure to look through the quick how-to on the JuliaQuinn.com autographed page before ordering.

And finally, a note from JQ:

I’d love to let you know about my advocacy work as Ambassador for EveryLibrary. This unique organization helps public, school, and college libraries win funding at the ballot box, ensuring stable funding and access to libraries for generations to come.

As an ambassador for EveryLibrary, and as an author, I am reaching out to ask you to consider an end of the year gift in support of their work on behalf of libraries. A year-end gift will help ensure that EveryLibrary can continue to empower grassroots groups across the country, fight anti-library legislation, and proactively support library funding measures at the ballot box.

You can also support libraries by signing my petition. Our right to read freely is under attack, and it is up to all of us to protect it.

Happiest of whatever holiday you and your family celebrate this time of year,

JuliaQ

Peneloise Fans Rejoice!

“While season 3 will bring Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) a romance with longtime crush, Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), and a makeover, will it bring her a reconciliation with her best friend?”

“I’m rooting for them,” showrunner Jess Brownell tells EW. “Bridgerton is about love in its many forms, and that includes friendship. The breakup between two friends can be just as earth shattering as a romantic relationship. For Penn, it is extremely difficult. But it’s also a chance for the two of them to grow and learn about themselves without that safety net of always having their best friend around.”

EW caught up with Brownell to ask her all of their burning questions about the long-awaited third season, including getting the tea on the Colin romance, Pen’s makeover, and what lies in store for other members of the Bridgerton family.
