Netflix Drops Bridgerton Series 3 Part 2, Promises Steamiest Scenes Yet

Bridgerton fans booked the day off work as Netflix dropped part two of series three on Thursday. 

Eager viewers stayed up into the early hours to watch the cast attend the red carpet premiere before counting down to the 8am release.

Fans have waited a month to  see what  happens next in Penelope Featherington  and Colin Bridgerton’s love story

Viewers can expect things to get steamy between the pair, with  onscreen lovers Nicola Coughlan, 37,  and Luke Newton, 31, previously revealing they filmed so many romps that by the end they were comfortable lounging around together naked between takes. 

Fans flooded X, formerly Twitter, to share their excitement and plans for the day, with some booking the day off work in advance to watch the next four episodes.

They wrote: ‘Dearest Gentle Reader, you don’t have to show up at work today, as our Queen has decreed that this part of the season belongs to the employees 

‘Less than 2 hours to go before the release of Bridgerton S3 Part 2! I only had 3 hours of sleep ‘coz I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to watch the red carpet premier and advance streaming of Ep5. Not really sleepy because of excitement! Didn’t go to work for this!’

 ‘In one hour we will have Pen and Colin madly in love, having sex, getting married and living happily ever after (yeah yeah with all the Wistledown mess). We made it guys, we waited two years but we made it.’ 

‘ I wanna take off work to binge watch Bridgerton tomorrow’.

Season three of Bridgerton dropped last month, with eager fans wasting no time in settling down to devour the latest antics of the Regency era romantics 

Part One ends on a steamy cliffhanger as after being unable to think of anyone else, Colin eventually declares his love for Penelope in a carriage after she was left heartbroken by Lord Debling 

And the trailer for part two has hinted at even more drama yet to come with tensions set to rise between the tons newest couple Penelope and Colin 

Season three of Bridgerton dropped last month, with eager fans wasting no time in settling down to devour the latest antics of the Regency era romantics.

 And the series seems to be back better than ever, as according to What’s On Netflix, it pulled in a shocking 45.1M views within just four days of going global on Netflix.

After the romp-fest came under fire for its lack of steamy scenes in the second series, the first four episodes of series three treated viewers to at least six minutes of kissing, sex, threesomes and lesbian love-making.

But after being promised that this season is the steamiest yet, fans were still made to wait until the closing moments of part one for the central love story to really kick off.

Series three focuses on the long-awaited romance between Penelope and Colin, but the plotline of the best friends realising their true feelings proves to be a slow burner.

Part One ends on a steamy cliffhanger as after being unable to think of anyone else, Colin eventually declares his love for Penelope in a carriage after she was left heartbroken by Lord Debling.

During the encounter at the end of the fourth episode, Penelope admits that she’d ‘very much like to be more than friends’ with Colin, and the pair eventually kiss, going on to share quite the steamy scene together.

But just as they’re getting into it, they arrive at the Bridgerton house, and after Colin fixes Penelope’s dress and hair, he steps down from the carriage and puts out his hand to Penelope to ask whether she’s coming with him.

The show was then left on a cliffhanger, as Colin hit fans with the iconic line from the Romancing Mister Bridgerton novel: ‘For God’s sake, Penelope Featherington, are you going to marry me or not?’
