What happens in Bridgerton season 3?

Well, first of all, in case you haven't noticed, season 3 will focus on Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington who, after years of being friends, finally inch closer and closer to a full blown, very spicy romance of their own.

The official synopsis of Bridgerton season 3 teases that Penelope has decided that it's time to take a husband, after giving up on her long-held crush on Colin after hearing his negative words about her. However, Pen's lack of confidence means she struggles to make a match.

Colin has returned from his summer travels, looking every inch the leading man, but is "disheartened" when he realises Pen is now giving him the cold shoulder.

"Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly," the synopsis reads.

Elsewhere, teaser clips have hinted that Francesca's debut will play a big part in season 3, Benedict finds himself with a new woman, and Anthony and Kate are still enjoying their honeymoon phase. Oh, and Eloise and Penelope's friendship is still in the pits.

As for what else happens? We'll have to tune in on May 16th to find out!
