Bridgerton collection three leaves followers BEGGING for extra
- WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS
Season three of Bridgerton landed on Netflix on Thursday morning, with the ending leaving fans begging for more.
The new series of the period drama focuses on the love story between Penelope Featherington ( Nicola Coughlan ) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton), but the plotline of best friends realising their true feelings proves to be a slow burner.
With that being said, season three 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, which takes place 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?’

The camera pans to a very happy Penelope, who is taken aback by the big question.
Viewers were shocked when they learned they have to wait until June 13 for Penelope’s answer, with one penning on social media platform X: ‘I knew there would be some sort of cliffhanger that left me unwell at the end but I wasn’t prepared for that LAST LINE’;
‘Who made the diabolical decision to split it into two parts, on a cliffhanger like that’;
‘Not the cliffhanger ending. I need part 2 NOWWW’
The romp-fest came under fire for its lack of steamy scenes in the second series, with a meagre three minutes of bedroom action amid eight hours and 29 minutes of screen time.
Viewers can already expect more from the first four episodes of series three, with at least six minutes of kissing, sex, threesomes and lesbian love-making.
But after being promised that this season is the steamiest yet, viewers are made to wait until the closing moments of part one for the central love story to really kick off.
Most of the action between Penelope and Colin promises to come when part two arrives on June 13.
Other fan favourite couples are seen enjoying newlywed bliss and secret dalliances.
Fans are treated to an update on married life for series two’s main characters Lord Anthony and Kate Sharma.
In fact, Anthony and Kate are in the first sex scene of the new series, which takes places 31 minutes into the first episode.

She also revealed on Wednesday in an interview with the Radio Times: ‘There is one where I am very naked on camera and that was my idea, my choice.
‘It just felt like the biggest ‘f*** you’ to all the conversations surrounding my body. It was amazingly empowering. Having now watched those scenes, I’m so proud of them.’
Nicola also confirmed that she and co-star Luke got ‘so comfortable’ that they would lounge together naked in between filming sex scenes.
