Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
Lady Whistledown’s innovation among the scandal sheets is that she uses people’s names to dish about marriage-mart gossip. But the “Bridgerton” costume department has had quite a novel innovation on an old form, too, and one we deem worthy of celebration.
How we feel about old-timey clothes is influenced by an intuitive set of conventions that reflect our contemporary fashion tastes. A costume designer’s choice of color, silhouette (the outline or shape of a garment), fabric, and texture all work to tell us who is conceited, who is shy, and who is, as Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) would put it, a sparkler.
But if one looks at costumes from Regency romances 10 or 15 years before “Bridgerton” first aired in 2020 — your “Pride & Prejudice...

Bridgerton is one of Netflix's biggest hits – it follows eight sisters and brothers from the distinguished Bridgerton family as they desperately try to find love.
The first part of the third season will be released on May 16 and the second part on June 13. That means it's time to remember the original source – the novels by Julia Quinn. To prevent you from getting lost in a tangle of gossip and love affairs, we have arranged all the books in the correct order.
Bridgerton Books in Chronological Order1. The Duke And I, 2000
The first novel in the series tells of Daphne and the Duke of Hastings, as well as the Crown Prince, conspiracy and lots of gossip. In Daphne's story, the wedding was only the beginning, as the Duke hid something very important from his naive wife about his attitude towards his own family.

Was Lord Debling in the Books? New Bridgerton Character Might Not Be Fully Canon - Main Image
Things are certainly looking more positive for Penelope Featherington on the marriage mart in Bridgerton season 3. However, one thing fans can't put their finger on is, was Lord Debling in the Bridgerton books?
Penelope spent three seasons on the marriage mart, coming out with no prospects, but this third season sets a different tone with Lord Debling and Colin Bridgerton in the picture.
Find out more about Debling's role and existence here.
Lord Debling — Is He Canon in the Bridgerton Novels or Not?
There's no question that Bridgerton season 3 would see Penelope Featherington end up with her longtime, one-sided love with Colin Bridgerton.
However, let's not forget that Colin is never one to make haste when it comes to realizing his feelings. So he would definitely require some sort of metaphorical push towards Pen.

In the first scene of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Charlotte (India Amarteifio) sulks in a carriage en route to marry King George. Her brother jokes that she hasn’t moved in six hours.
Charlotte scowls and responds: “The gown sits atop a bespoke underpinning made of whalebone. The problem with whalebone is that it is rather sharp. I am in the height of fashion, so this corset is quite snug. If I move too much, I might be sliced and stabbed to death by my undergarments. I am angry and I cannot breathe. Turn this carriage around or I will bounce. I will impale myself on this ridiculous corset and bleed to death.”
This monologue is great for setting up Charlotte’s feistiness. But Charlotte is very misinformed about her own underwear. European women in the 1760s called their structured undergarments “stays” not “corsets.” Stays weren’t made with...

Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
Welcome back to the world of “Bridgerton,” the Netflix superhit that gets everyone invested in Regency-era romance by making it clear that the only way empire-waist gowns work is when they’re torn off by hereditary nobility. As it’s been a while since our last opportunity to mingle with the Lords and Ladies of the ton, here’s a refresher on who’s who (and who’s doing who) in London town this season.
I. The Bridgertons
The Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) and her children stand at the center of London society, partially because their unlimited funds make them a financially desirable family to marry into, but also because they’re all the kind of hot that makes one stop and go “No,...

“When Harry Met Sally,” “13 Going on 30,” “Past Lives” and even “Spider-Man” have all included the complicated friends-to-lovers trope. Now, “Bridgerton” could be added to list as the latest season sees romance blossom between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) as they finally make it out of the friend zone.
“The more I speak to people, the more I’m starting to realize how a lot of people have experienced it in one way or another, even my loved ones. I spoke to my family members and they were like, ‘Yeah, I’ve had that in my life, I’ve experienced that'” Newton told Variety at the show’s Season 3 premiere on Monday at Alice Tully Hall in New York City. “It’s not something that I’ve had, but I now have an extra level of empathy for it now having lived this process of the show,...

Tom Brady is the Greatest Of … Netflix’s TV chart.
The NFL star took a foray into live comedy alongside some standup legends for The Roast of Tom Brady. In its first full week after airing live on Netflix, the special racked up 13.8M views, nabbing the top spot among TV.
However, Netflix viewers must really love to honor Mother’s Day, Brooke Shields’ new comedy Mother of the Bride was the top title of the week — just like last year when Jennifer Lopez took over Netflix during the same weekend with her film The Mother.

Any marriage that lasts nearly six decades is certainly a story for the ages, especially if it’s rooted in reality, like the one at the center of Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
The origins of the 57-year romance between Britain’s King George III and Queen Charlotte are the subject of the series, which was created by Shonda Rhimes and based on characters first introduced on-screen in Bridgerton.
While the British king and queen are very real figures, the six-episode interpretation of their romance is fictional. As the series reminds you in its opening moments, “It is not a history lesson. It is fiction inspired by fact.”
Portrayed in their 1800s iterations by Golda Rosheuvel and James Fleet and as their 1700s predecessors by India Amarteifio and Corey Mylchreest, the royal couple aren’t all that was pulled from history books to create the world of Queen Charlotte. Read...

Period dramas have always been hot (repression so often is). Whether it’s Oliver Reed and Alan Bates nude wrestling in front of a roaring fire in “Women in Love” or Keira Knightley and James McCardle in the library with the green dress in “Atonement,” sex has always been there in period dramas. But something has happened in recent years in television: Shows set in ye olden times have gotten much, much hornier.
“Bridgerton” earned a lot of publicity for its frank sex scenes in Season 1, but it was hardly the first. There’s something about peeling back the bedclothes (and clothes) of a lost era that makes it resonate even more with modern audiences. If the stolen glances and hastily scrawled notes are foreplay, then we’re now living in a golden age of ruffled and furbelowed consummation.

Phoebe Dynevor, star of TV’s Bridgerton, is in talks to star in Violent Night director Tommy Wirkola’s mysterious, untitled shark thriller.
Tommy Wirkola, director of festive action film Violent Night, is currently working on a thriller that involves sharks in some form, and said thriller could end up starring Phoebe Dynevor, previously of Bridgerton and Fair Play fame.
Dynevor is ‘in talks’ to star in Wirkola’s shark-based project according to Deadline, while further details are thinner on the ground than actual sharks. There’s no title to speak of and its plot is said to be “under wraps”; the concrete bit of information is that it’ll be produced by Hyperobject Industries, the production company founded by Adam McKay. It’s previously brought us such entertainments as Succession, The Menu and Don’t Look Up, the latter directed by McKay himself.

With Elizabeth Moss as the protagonist Imogen who is hell bent on proving that Adilah El Idrissi (Yumna Marwan) is actually Djinn al Raqqa of Isis, who is planning a huge attack on the US, the series has already shown how the former has rescued Adilah from the camp she was held captive in. The two then took a detour and eventually, Imogen decided to take Adilah to Paris to reunite her with her daughter. After the DNA test conducted by the American intelligence, Imogen’s superiors are convinced that Adilah is not the fierce Isis leader they are looking for. However, Imogen does not believe it, and this week’s episode proves that she’s not wrong.

Dear Readers,
As the cast of Bridgerton celebrated the premiere of Season 3 at Alice Tully Hall, star Nicola Coughlan revealed what it was like for her to film intimate scenes with co-star Luke Newton.
The Netflix series Bridgerton, adapted from Historical Romance Novel author Julia Quinn’s books, has become a cultural phenomenon dominating drawing room conversations with each season’s premiere since 2020. Shonda Rhimes’ helmed series, which slightly diverges from the books set in whitewashed Regency-era London, has been praised for its unique blend of romance, wit, drama, and inclusivity.
The series follows the story of the esteemed Bridgerton family’s alphabetically named siblings: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth.

Phoebe Dynevor is in talks to star in an untitled shark thriller at Sony Pictures with Tommy Wirkola (“Violent Night”) directing, Variety has confirmed.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, production is set to begin in Australia this summer. Adam McKay and Kevin Messick will produce the shark movie under their Hyperobject Industries banner.
Dynevor is best known for her role as Daphne Bridgerton in the first two seasons of the Netflix series “Bridgerton.” She recently starred opposite Alden Ehrenreich in the 2023 thriller “Fair Play,” which sold to Netflix in a massive $20 million deal following the film’s premiere at Sundance Film Festival.
In late April, Variety exclusively reported that Dynevor and Bella Ramsey star in the new short film “More Flames,” from McKay‘s Yellow Dot Studios and Climate Spring; the short marks the launch of the #FlipTheScript campaign aimed at changing the narrative around the climate crisis.

Best known for her role of Daphne Bridgerton in the first two seasons of the hugely popular Netflix series Bridgerton, Dynevor was also recently seen starring opposite Alden Ehrenreich in the thriller Fair Play, which the streamer picked up at Sundance following a bidding war, garnering a BAFTA nomination for her work.

Penelope Featherington’s identity as Lady Whistledown was uncovered by Claudia Jessie’s Eloise Bridgerton. During the red carpet event, Coughlan teased how Penelope will juggle her friendship with Eloise.

And certainly in my life, my female friends have been some of my biggest love stories. They’re the people that mean so much to me and they are so much the reason you are who you are.”
Coughlan called Penelope and Eloise’s relationship in Season 3 “a real journey” as Eloise is not ready to forgive Penelope.

Simone Ashley stands on a red carpet inside Arth Bar & Kitchen in Culver City, California, perfectly poised in a white gown she’s wearing with serene confidence. Suddenly, you can see the gears in her mind shift, and her easy smile widens into the kind that suggests she has always known the answer to the question in front of her and can’t wait to share it. “It’s coconut oil!” she tells Tudum, grinning.
Anyone who has watched Ashley’s star-making turn in Bridgerton Season 2 — as horse-riding heroine Kate Sharma — can guess what the 27-year-old is explaining: It’s the product Kate smooths through the tresses of her younger sister, Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran), in this season’s third episode, “A Bee in Your Bonnet.” While Kate can’t mend Edwina’s heart after the particularly disappointing dinnertime blunder committed by her crush Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), she can...

Everyone who’s watched Bridgerton Season 2 knows that Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley) isn’t a people pleaser. In fact, it’s one of the things Ashley loves most about her character. Kate relocates with her sister, Edwina (Charithra Chandran), and their mother, Lady Mary (Shelley Conn), to Regency England, just in time to participate in the season’s marriage market. Kate and Mary have high hopes of finding Edwina a suitable husband and securing their family’s future, but Kate refuses to be pinned in by the rules that define the Regency-era social season.
She embarks on unchaperoned early morning horseback rides and is ambivalent about being labeled a spinster at 26. She’s sharp, demanding and capable, acting as a buffer between her sister — whom Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) has crowned the season’s diamond — and the suitors who might court Edwina for the wrong reasons. “When I had the...

Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, Private Practice. Is there a showrunner with a higher number of long-running successful shows than Shonda Rhimes? Hardly so. That's why her 2017 deal with Netflix came as such a shock, after spending more than a decade under ABC's wing.
As fans know, Shonda's Netflix project, Bridgerton, is based on a series of pseudo-historical romance novels by Julia Quinn that tell the story of early 19th-century British high society. There are a total of eight books about the Bridgerton family, the first of which was published in 2000.
All feature the romantic liaisons of Lady Bridgerton's children, and there are (surprise!) eight of them: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth. Shonda Rhimes would not be Shonda Rhimes if she did not create interest in all aspects of her brainchild – now, with the long-awaited third season of Colin and Penelope just a few days away,...

Is Lord Debling Really A Vegetarian? Bridgerton S3 Throws Fans A Curveball - Main Image
One of Penelope Featherington's most notable suitors, Lord Debling, sets himself apart in Bridgerton season 3 as a vegetarian who "loves wildlife." Here's why being one in the series already caught fans' attention.

Sam Phillips, who is best known for his notable role as Equerry in Netflix's The Crown, joined Bridgerton season 3 as Lord Alfred Debling, aka a part of Penelope Featherington's highly anticipated love triangle.
It is worth mentioning that Lord Debling is not a character from the novel, Romancing Mister Bridgerton, but rather an original role made especially for the Netflix series, which means the most that we do know about him came from Phillips:

Bridgerton's main characters are people with a complex internal organization, who, contrary to the foundations of the patriarchal era, prefer to build their own destiny on their own. However, each of them chooses different ways to achieve their goals.
In the first season, Eloise Bridgerton appears as a bright intellectual who refuses to accept the traditional role of women in society. She actively resists her impending marriage and lavish balls, preferring to spend time in the company of her favorite books and older brothers. In addition, Eloise is the only one who succeeds in uncovering the secret identity of Lady Whistledown.
Eloise's Actions Made Some Bridgerton Fans Question Her Moral Compass
For all her virtues, however, the middle Bridgerton sister can be sarcastic and even rude, especially toward Daphne, who does not share her feminist ambitions. At the same time, in the second season, Eloise falls into the first trap...

Over the years, Nicola Coughlan has been a standout presence at movie premieres, red-carpet events, and fashion showcases, captivating audiences with her eye-catching ensembles.
She has consistently demonstrated her fashion prowess, from vibrant minidresses to bold outfits and sophisticated gowns. So, it’s safe to say Nicola Coughlan emerges as the most stylish figure among the Bridgerton cast. However, her recent outfit choice didn’t hit the mark for me.
Stylish Couple at Bridgerton Season 3 Milan Photocall
On Thursday, May 9, Nicola Coughlan and her co-star Luke Newton radiated at the Bulgari Hotel in Milan while attending the Season three photocall for the beloved Netflix series Bridgerton.

Warning: contains spoilers for Doctor Who series 14 episode 1 “Space Babies”.
The new series of Doctor Who begins with The Doctor and Ruby encountering an abandoned spaceship that doubles as a daycare. The babies sit in computerized strollers while a computerized nanny takes care of them. The time travelers have to figure out why the babies were abandoned and who or what caused the human crew to flee or die.
Den Of Geek interviewed Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson to find out the behind-the-scenes tricks used to make the titular “Space Babies” come alive on screen.
Gatwa and Gibson describe “Space Babies” as the most technically challenging episode they filmed in series 14. “There were 12 real babies and then they’d get shipped off, and then we’d get these rubber jelly babies, that kind of looked like demon versions of the babies,” Gatwa says. The dolls apparently had an awkward plastic feel to them.

Although Bridgerton is based on a series of romance novels by Julia Quinn, the show takes time to emphasize the importance of family life through the Bridgerton siblings' bond with their mother and each other, and the love between friends, even as Penelope and Eloise's relationship is about to become strained.
Queen Charlotte, an offshoot of Bridgerton, has captured perhaps the most tragic love story of the entire series, a fictionalized biography of King George and the way his health deteriorated for the Queen to watch.
