After two seasons in the shadow of his brothers and sisters, Colin Bridgerton became the hero of season 3 of The Bridgerton Chronicles, the first four episodes of which were released on Netflix. After his vile attitude towards Penelope at the end of season 2, Colin has changed. To the point of becoming an object of fantasies like Simon and Anthony before him? Not sure ! On social media, fans are not kind to the third Bridgerton brother, whom they consider to be “tasteless, tasteless and stupid”. Others, on the contrary, are delighted that Colin and Penelope, “Polin” for short, are the center of all attention this year. But what does one of the main stakeholders think? Actor Luke Newton opens up about the evolution of his character and his relationship with his playing partner, Nicola Coughlan.

“Bridgerton will make you dream even more”promises Luke Newton

Télé-Loisirs: How to describe this season 3 of Bridgerton ?

Luke Newton : For me, it’s the season of boldness. We dare to do things that we haven’t done before. Fans of Bridgerton cannot be dissatisfied with this season 3 because each character really exceeds their own limits. I’ve been waiting for a real commitment from Colin Bridgerton in his life for a long time and it’s done!

How did you experience this rapprochement between Colin and Penelope?

I think the whole audience was impatiently waiting for it. In this season, we perhaps understand Colin a little better, who is finally starting to wake up to Penelope. This is a development that was so awaited by the public. The intimate scenes were a lot of fun to shoot because we became very close with Nicola Coughlan. Bridgerton will make you dream even more! Season 3 is unique in that its romantic leads, Colin and Penelope, have been part of the series since the beginning. There is real chemistry between them. To know someone and have an incredible relationship like that at work with that same person is simply a godsend.

Luke Newton is pleased that “Colin has finally opened his eyes”

Do you think Penelope is really perfect for Colin?

My character could never have imagined last season that he would fall under Penelope’s spell in this way. I think Colin has finally opened his eyes and finally seems ready to understand himself better. This new romantic relationship makes him discover new facets of life.
