The caption of the post read, "The boys are back in town. (No, I’m not going back to the show btw - the papers made that one up.)

Bridgerton 3 plot

Netflix recently announced that the upcoming season of the show would be based on Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington's blossoming relationship. This means that the show is straying away from the order of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton novel series, on which the show is based. Colin and Penelope’s love story is, in fact, part of the fourth book, but will be explored in the upcoming season 3 of the show.
