Netflix has just released a new trailer and first look photos for the highly anticipated third season of Bridgerton. The trailer teases the longing friends-to-lovers romantic beginnings of Nicola Coughlan’s Penelope Featherington and Luke Newton’s Colin Bridgerton. See the trailer and photos below!

Dodie Smith’s comedy is revived in a desaturated production that crackles with deliciously sly humour. Emily Burns directs a series of majestic tableaux that, while wordy and excessively traditional at times, offer an authentic slice of polite society. It’s not the most action-packed or dramatic piece in existence, but Dear Octopus turns out to be like a classic vintage wine: it’s sophisticated and might be an acquired taste, but it ultimately gets you jolly like only wartime entertainment can.

The National Theatre has released production photos for Dear Octopus by Dodie Smith (I Capture the Castle), which will open in the Lyttelton theatre on 14 February.

The new season stars Nicola Coughlan (Penelope Featherington), Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton), Claudia Jessie (Eloise Bridgerton), Luke Thompson (Benedict Bridgerton), Golda Rosheuvel (Queen Charlotte), Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury), Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma), Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton), and more.
