The latest promo for Bridgerton featuring Colin and Penelope hints at one of the most highly-anticipated sex scenes in the show yet. Based on Julia Quinn’s Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, viewers are familiar with the scene in which Colin expresses his fantasy of having sex with Penelope in front of a mirror. The new video released by Netflix shows a tender moment between the characters standing in front of a mirror, sparking excitement among fans.
Colin and Penelope’s love story has been developing over the course of the series, with season 3 finally focusing on their relationship. Actress Nicola Coughlan hinted at plenty of romance in the upcoming season, mentioning that she and Luke Newton read the books at the beginning of season 1 and joked about having to kiss each other. She expressed that it was a bit strange to have to kiss her friend on screen, especially with the spicy and romantic scenes from the books making their way onto the show.
Coughlan humorously mentioned that she asked for a more “PG version” of the upcoming season for her family, as some scenes may be too steamy to watch with parents. She admitted to skipping certain scenes with her own mother in season 1 and hinted that the upcoming season might be even more challenging to watch with family due to the passionate moments between Penelope and Colin. Showrunner Jess Brownell praised the chemistry between Coughlan and Newton for allowing the show to move up Penelope and Colin’s storyline, which was originally presumed to follow a different character.
Brownell mentioned that the dynamic between Penelope and Colin, with Penelope’s crush on him and Colin’s obliviousness, could only be played out for so long before something had to change. This led to a decision to lean into the connection between the characters and move up their season. The first half of Bridgerton season 3 is set to premiere on Netflix in May, with the remaining episodes dropping in June. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see how the relationship between Colin and Penelope will unfold in the new season and what steamy moments may be in store for the couple on screen.
