At long last, dear readers, Netflix has revealed the release date for Season 3 of Bridgerton, the relentlessly horny period drama based on the books of Julia Quinn.

The third instalment of the series will be released in two parts, as the streamer seems to be fond of doing with some of their biggest shows, each with four episodes. Part 1 premieres on May 16, while Part 2 arrives a month later on June 13.

Just when you thought Lady Whistledown had been silenced, think again! She's back, baby. This season of Bridgerton will be centred around fan favourite Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and her longtime crush, world traveller Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), who are being shipped (we're still shipping! In this economy!) as #Polin. Apparently, it's "ultra-sexy," but probably also awkward because in Season 2, Penelope had admitted her feelings for her longtime friend... and later overheard his disparaging words about her.

Watch the date announcement from Netflix below.


Bridgerton has already been renewed for a fourth season, as was announced back in 2021 when the horniest orchestral versions of pop songs featured on the show exploded on streaming charts.
