Bridgerton Season 1 and Season 2 followed the first two novels of author Julia Quinns book series.  The First season focused on Daphne Bridgerton’s (played by Phoebe Dynevor) love story with Simon (Rege-Page Jean), while Season 2 revolved around Anthony Bridgerton’s (Jonathon Bailey) romance with Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).

Penelope and Colins love story is the subject of the fourth book in Quinns series. The third book features the story of Benedict Bridgerton.

With that in mind, the 2023 release could be an educational guess for Bridgerton Season 3 on Netflix.
