Bridgerton's third season has recently premiered on the streaming giant, with fans particularly praising how the show has depicted more of Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton’s characters in the latest season.

In a recent interview with Netflix Queue, Coughlan talked about her real-life friendship with co-star Luke Newton and their on-screen chemistry in their latest Bridgerton season. The actress compared their characters, noting that as Penelope and Colin go from friends to lovers in this new season, they went from doing small scenes together to working closely as their roles grew.
She shared, “Penelope and Colin’s experiences of finding their way, going from friends to lovers, it was like Luke and I going from scene partners doing small scenes together to our working relationship growing exponentially during filming.”
The 37-year-old actress further said, “What it boils down to is that no two people have had this specific experience. We had two seasons of friendship, which we’re grateful for.”

Luke Newton, who played the character of Colin in the Netflix series Bridgerton, joined his co-star Nicola Coughlan during the interview and shared his thoughts on how he believed that the timing for their characters was best as they transitioned from friends to lovers compared to other characters' depictions in the show.
He said, “The other [couples’] stories focus on the initial meeting, which was really passionate, whereas this has been the long game of friends to lovers.”
Newton continued, “It was perfect timing that we did it on Season 3 because any later would’ve been too long, and if we did it earlier, there wouldn’t be enough history between them.”
Bridgerton season 3 part one is available for streaming on Netflix.
