There is a time jump in Bridgerton season 3
Bridgertonseason 3 is likely to follow the novel ’s timeline and boast a 10 - class - long time jump , which is necessary for both Penelope and Colin to raise up and become worthy of each other . InRomancing Mister Bridgerton , the majority of the account select place in 1824 , even though there are flashback that go as far back as 1812.The existent - lifeQueen Charlotte pass away at 74 geezerhood oldin 1818 , so she might be pour down off in season 3 for this accurate reason .

9Penelope Gives Her Earnings To Her Mother
Bridgerton season 3 fixes the Featheringtons' money problems
The end ofBridgertonseason 2 finale , " The Viscount Who Loved Me , " features Lady Featherington taking most of the funds that her partner - in - crime , Baron Featherington , has produce for herself while sending him off to America . However , the fraud money may not be enough to ensure a prosperous existence for the Featherington family for long , especially since they do n’t seem to have any way of making a profit off of it .

8Benedict Explores His Sexuality
Benedict gets together with a man before meeting Sophie
SinceBridgertonis skipping Benedict and Sophie ’s storyin season 3 , there is an assumption thatBenedict might still not be done with his rakish direction . In season 1 , one of his more spectacular storylines involve Sir Henry Granville , a queer creative person whom Benedict befriends at a political party . The two even apportion a few ambiguous , flirtatious conversations , which hint at Benedict perchance being somewhat homophile as well . Season 2 has dropped the subject , but time of year 3 might explore it further , as Sophie is out of the exposure for now . Before Benedict is due to square off down , he might have a venturesome romantic coming upon with a man .
7Eloise & Penelope’s Fight Worsens
Eloise is against Colin & Penelope’s relationship
Bridgertonseason 2 see Eloise and Penelope sever ties after Eloise see Penelope ’s secret , which is a big change to the book canon , where Eloise is the last to discover that Penelope is Lady Whistledown . The submarine sandwich between two ex - champion is probable to be one of the central storylines of time of year 3 , and their fight might go on a stack prospicient than ab initio anticipated — after all , Penelope has hurt Eloise and her family , and Eloise might not forgive her lightly . In the upcoming time of year , Eloise may terminate up as the principal external obstacle to Colin and Penelope ’s relationship , and that may provide an interesting change of moral force in the show .
The substantial cause why Eloise is so distressed with Penelope for being Lady Whistledown are much deep than she lets on in the Bridgerton season 2 close .
6Bridgerton Season 3 Introduces Another Love Triangle
A mystery man makes Colin jealous & pining for Penelope
Bridgertondoesn’t thinker adding love triangles to amp up the drama , even if there are none in the original story , such as the notorious love triangle between Edwina , Anthony , and Kate in time of year 2 . However , a love triangle may allow for a impertinent slant to Colin and Penelope ’s story — that is , if the honey trigon has Penelope at the kernel . time of year 3 might introduce a better-looking suitor for Penelope who apprize her for who she is , serving as a catalyst for Colin ’s possible jealousy toward Penelope . It would n’t be the most original move to propel the story , but it may give mode to a few screaming moments .
5Colin Is Turned Into A Rake
Colin sleeps around before settling down with Penelope
Another ill - advise but likely plot twist thatBridgertonseason 3 might have in store is Colin becoming a rake . The show already has two male characters who have sleep their room through all of London before turning into respectable husbands , and doing the same thing to Colin , who is n’t canonically the rakish type , would finger boring and repetitive . Still , the appeal of the twist is obvious — it would bring home the bacon more spicy scenery , a way of life to show how much time has passed for the character , and a motivation for Penelope to move on from Colin and start looking for a husband , asNetflix ’s synopsis forBridgertonseason 3promises .
The Bridgerton class is a wholesome clustering , but some penis are definitely more likable than others — and more enjoyable to watch , too .
4Eloise & Theo Become Romantically Involved
Marina Crane is spared in Bridgerton season 3
There has been surmise thatBridgertonmight drastically change Eloise ’s storyand not match her with Sir Phillip Crane , ensuring that his married woman , Marina , remains alive in the show . In season 2 , Eloise play Theo , a printing workshop worker who share her " extremist " ideas of par , and the two begin growing closer . Seeing as Eloise is by far the character who is most dissimilar from her Holy Scripture counterpart in the sense that she is not even remotely concerned in becoming someone ’s married woman , it would make sense ifBridgertonfollowed up on Eloise and Theo ’s romanticistic plot line in time of year 3 , setting up their love level for season 4 or 5 .
3Sophie Beckett Makes Her Entrance
Benedict & Sophie meet at the masquerade ball
IfBridgertonseason 3 does n’t utilize the decision to jump Benedict ’s account for research his sexuality , it could certainly use it for introducing Sophie Beckett , Benedict ’s future wife . InAn Offer from a Gentleman , Benedict first meets Sophie at a fancy dress ball that Daphne holds , but he does n’t instruct that it is Sophie until much later . The book separates the duo for two long year , and the second time they stumble upon each other is under less cheerful context . Still , the season 3 stopping point could easily feature Daphne ’s egg that Benedict ’s secret womanattendsas a elbow room to establish Benedict ’s write up in time of year 4 .
2Francesca Grieves Her First Husband
Bridgerton season 3 welcomes Michael Stirling
Again , ifBridgertonseason 3 has a time jump , Francesca ’s first married man , John Stirling , has to be in the picture and , unfortunately , out of it rather presently . Francesca and John get married in 1818 , and John tragically pass away two years later . time of year 3 could be set in several meter menses or have flashback and flashforwards , so Francesca and John ’s short - lived romance might get a mention . In increase , Francesca is suppose to conjoin her second husband , Michael Stirling , in 1824 , which is the year Penelope and Colin ’s sanctioned story take place , so Michael might be infix in time of year 3 as well .
1Lady Whistledown’s Identity Isn’t Revealed
Penelope keeps her secret from the ton for longer
Bridgertonhas break the traditional timeline by moving forward with Colin ’s story before Benedict ’s , thus make a trouble with Lady Whistledown ’s reveal . InRomancing Mister Bridgerton , Colin reach the announcement to the intact ton that Penelope is Whistledown , but it wo n’t be possible to adjust the setting in season 3 because Whistledown is yet to play a key role in Benedict ’s season . InAn Offer from a Gentleman , it is through Whistledown ’s editorial that Benedict learns of Sophie ’s whereabouts . Bridgertonseason 3 might have Colin describe Whistledown ’s identity , but it has to stay a arcanum to the sleep of the ton for the future time of year ’s sake .
