- Bridgerton season 3 skipped a key book detail involving Penelope and Lady Danbury’s friendship.
- The show decided to focus more on Lady Danbury’s storyline and her past secrets in season 3.
- Lady Danbury, despite being Penelope’s mentor in the book, now assists Francesca while dealing with her own family drama.
Showrunner Jess Brownell explains why Bridgerton season 3 cut one key book detail. Based on the books by Julia Quinn, each season of Netflix’s massively popular period drama follows a different member of the eponymous family as they find love in an alternate version of Regency-era London. Bridgerton season 3, which released its first part on May 16, skips ahead to the fourth book, Romancing Mister Bridgerton, to adapt the friendship-turned-romance between Colin (Luke Netwon) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan).
