Netflix has released a Bridgerton season 3 sneak peek video as part of the streamer’s global fan event TUDUM.

The new video features Luke Newton and Claudia Jesse, who play Bridgerton siblings Colin and Eloise, and tasks them with answering questions about each other’s characters – as well as putting brush to canvas and painting their portraits.

“Why can’t Colin see that Penelope is his true love?” Jesse asks Newton, to which he responds: “Because they met when they were so young. I think there’s just such a lot going on that they can’t really see what’s right in front of them.”

Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope Featherington in the show, then appears from a hiding spot to tease some plot details.

Picking up the season 3 script and stepping into character, the actress begins: “Dearest gentle reader, we have been apart for far too long. At last, London’s smart set has made its return, and so too has this author.”

She continues: “As the season begins, the question on everyone’s minds is, of course, which newly-minted debutante will shine the brightest? The crop this year appears to be rather dazzling indeed. Unfortunately, not every young lady can attract the light.”

Stepping out of character, she adds: “And that’s all you’re getting!”
