When a TV show is based on a book, the writers are bound by the story and the expectations of the fans. However, there are times when it is absolutely impossible to keep the original story alive, so the show begins to change some bits and pieces to better fit the narrative.
While this can be done well, these changes are always dreaded by the original fans. However, the third season of Bridgerton so far shows that the writers can learn from their mistakes and change only the most necessary parts. Here are 5 things they still had to redo, and 5 that were perfectly similar to Julia Quinn's book Romancing Mr. Bridgerton.

The first part of the third season of Bridgerton has been released on Netflix, and yet another wedding season is full of trouble for this family. Violet Bridgerton is still hoping someone can charm Eloise – after last year's scandal, the girl is struggling to join the company of potential brides.
And this time, the Bridgertons are introducing a new debutante – the reserved and humble Francesca.
Season 3 Puts Francesca in the Spotlight
A girl who is passionate about music has a hard time communicating with gentlemen. But history shows that you can find a soul mate even if you don't like to talk. This is another interesting plot device – Francesca has been in the background for the last two seasons.
However, as soon as John Stirling, Francesca's apparent love interest, appeared on the screen, all fan discussions were filled with comments sympathetic to this character, hinting at some kind of tragedy.

Dearest readers: It’s Bridgerton Week at IndieWire. We’re celebrating the new season by diving deep on one of the best romance shows on TV.
The world of “Bridgerton” is no stranger to competition. Among London’s elite, wealthy debutantes and ambitious suitors vie for attention and supremacy on every level, from status and title to the very notion of a “diamond” — the best the season has to offer. What better way to celebrate the eagerly awaited Season 3 (Part 1 now streaming and Part 2 due June 13) than by revisiting past and previous diamonds?
Now that there are fully 20 of them out in the world, we decided to rank the best “Bridgerton” episodes, and to not overly favor any one season over another. A show doesn’t become an overnight popular horny period sensation without some certified bangers (pun intended), so we revisited Seasons 1 and 2 along with Season 3 – Part 1 to pull the greatest hits.

Warning: contains spoilers for Bridgerton Season 3A, episodes 1-4.
The moment that Eloise Bridgerton loudly and publicly declared she “would rather die” than join Cressida Cowper’s mean girl gang was one to relish.
In the Bridgerton season two opener, Eloise’s stock as a debutante had risen temporarily high after Queen Charlotte took an unexpected shine to her. Cressida, sensing an opportunity for reflected glory, swept in to recruit Eloise to her clique, not missing the chance to insult El’s dear friend Penelope Featherington on the way. In no uncertain terms, Eloise stood up for her friend, turned down the offer and marched away hand-in-hand with Pen. Hooray for brainy, bookish girls everywhere! Boo to nasty, shallow Queen Bees!
Then what should happen in the season three opener, but Eloise be seen hanging off Cressida Cowper’s arm on a promenade? After the big bust-up with Pen at the end of last season,...

Dearest gentle readers, the time has come for more Bridgerton.
Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) finally take center stage in Season 3 of the Netflix series. Fans have been chomping at the bit to see Polin’s love story unfold on screen, and this season does not disappoint.
But, of course, Polin isn’t the only source of drama this season. Things are still quite tense between Eloise (Claudia Jessie) and Penelope after the former discovered that the latter is in fact Lady Whistledown. Considering some of the less-than-favorable comments Whistledown has made about the Bridgerton family, and even Eloise herself, it appears it’s going to be near impossible for Penelope to get Eloise’s forgiveness.
Then there’s the question of what will happen when Colin inevitably finds out this secret as well? Will...

Just like the aristocratic ton, Bridgertonloves tradition. Season 3 follows in the steps of what came before. The premiere opens with a third Bridgerton sister preparing to make her debut. In Season 1, it was romantic Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor); in Season 2, it was anxious Eloise (Claudia Jessie), and now, in Season 3, it’s “pragmatic” Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd). Francesca is new to society, and Dodd is new to viewers. This is the actor’s first season on the show, stepping into a role that was recast for Bridgerton Season 3.
“Francesca has been preparing for [her debut] … Filming it was absolutely terrifying, because it was quite early on in production,” Dodd tells Tudum. “There was a little bit of life imitating art there. She was nervous and I was nervous. She was watching people, and I was watching people to learn. We were kind of going through it together.”...

Although Bridgerton focuses primarily on the stories of the 8 siblings of the titular family, it is an ensemble show, and it puts the spotlight on some of the most interesting characters in the ton. Love her or hate her, Cressida Cowper has been lurking in the shadows long enough to finally step into the light.
And as it turns out, her journey isn't as easy as viewers might have imagined. Struggling to find a husband for the third season in a row, Cressida becomes a tragic example of a woman crushed by the expectations of Regency society.
Who Will Cressida Marry in Bridgerton?
While Cressida Cowper remains a villain and a bully in Julia Quinn's novels, the show decided to play with her character a bit more and plant some seeds for what seems to be a redemption arc coming her way. While no upbringing can excuse belittling and...

While there is nothing more exciting than seeing your favorite TV show back with a new season after more than 2 years of waiting, Bridgerton fans' excitement has been somewhat spoiled by the way Season 3 has been handled so far.
Not to mention the Netflix split that will make fans wait another month to get the second part of the season, but it also seems like the showrunner as well as the writing team didn't listen to a single ounce of criticism that fans had for season 2. Now that season 3 is repeating the same mistakes, it feels like Bridgerton will never escape this repetitive cycle.

Cinema is full of classic stories, retold year after year in the traditional manner or reimagined by the daring ones. Whether it's adaptations of literary masterpieces, biopics, or other attempts to turn established archetypes on their heads, a spirit of rebellion is essential.
For lovers of the flair of Jane Austen's novels, Bridgerton is a real feast. London's high society and debutante balls all seem like a refuge for humble young ladies with dreams of marriage. In fact, just like in Austen's novels, revolutionaries still roam England during the Regency era.
In the Netflix series, this honorable role goes primarily to Eloise Bridgerton, the fifth child of the family, who never lets go of books and despises patriarchal foundations.

Francesca’s (Hannah Dodd) love story also intertwines more significantly in the expanded two-part season, with Part 1 releasing May 16 on Netflix and Part 2 June 13.
Ahead of Season 3 Part 1’s launch, showrunner Jess Brownell, producer Shonda Rhimes and author Julia Quinn confirmed that an important scene in which Colin cuts his hand would feature in the show. This scene first sparks Colin’s more-than-platonic consideration of Penelope as she bandages his hand. She had been sneaking a look at his diary and reading his writing about his travels, and he gets angry with her,...

This season of Bridgerton shows the characters wrestling with old misconceptions, inconvenient new emotions, and even a hot air balloon.
Bridgerton Season 3 Episode 3 seems to pick up right where Episode 2 left off, with Colin Bridgerton standing once again in Penelope Featherington's nighttime garden.
This time, though, it is he who speaks first, confessing that he has been consumed by their first kiss and cannot rest without another.
Unfortunately, it's just a dream; Colin wakes from a sweat-drenched sleep in an empty bed.
There is still excitement to be had in the waking world, though. Preparations are underway for a hot air balloon exhibition that most of the ton will attend.
Before all of that commences, Penelope is surprised by a morning visit from Eloise, who wishes to apologize for her part in the rumor about Colin and Pen getting out.
Pen says there's nothing to forgive and invites Eloise to stay for a bit,...

It has been the longest of waits, Gentle Readers, but Bridgerton Season 3 is finally here!!
The smash Regency-set Netflix series returned May 16 in a dizzying thunder of carriage wheels that brought the ton back to London after a summer in the countryside, all refreshed and ready for the new debutante season with the Queen's next "diamond."
One dashing figure returned home by sea instead of land: a newly suave Colin Bridgerton apparently procured a swashbuckling long brown coat on his travels in addition to a marked dislike for sleeping alone.
In the chaotic swirl of activity before the Queen's court, we learn that the mysterious Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) will wear the tall white feather for her debut that morning.
However, it seems she'd prefer to stay home playing the pianoforte.
This new-to-viewers Bridgerton sister has been in Bath for some time and is pleasant but distant when dealing with her boisterous family,...

When Bridgerton first broke through, it felt subversive. As sex has disappeared from film, Bridgerton featured some of the most intimate and erotic sequences on television. Placing this eroticism in a period drama gave the series a unique link. It immediately felt closer to Weathering Heights or Dangerous Liaisons. Now, after two seasons and a spin-off, the novelty has partially worn off. However, Season 3 of Bridgerton does not falter due to complacency. Rather, Shondaland and the showrunners overload the season. While Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton finally take the spotlight, their story sags under the weight of carrying more than a half-dozen subplots.

Bridgerton‘s third season has hit the Ton, and the final moments of the Part 1 release will have fans of the book and show alike on the edge of their seats, awaiting what comes next in Part 2.
Four episodes (and two seasons) of romantic buildup on the Netflix period drama between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) culminates in the famous carriage scene from Julia Quinn’s novel Romancing Mr. Bridgerton (of which this season is based), where the two engage in a steamy makeout scene and make it to second base.
Before they know it, the carriage arrives at the Bridgerton family house, and they need a moment to figure out what to do. Colin steps out of the carriage and extends his hand toward Penelope. “Are you coming with me?” he asks. “What? Your family will see me,” she responds. “For God’s sake, Penelope Featherington.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1.] It’s been a long time coming—Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton’s (Luke Newton) first kiss, that is. Bridgerton’s latest loves spent the first two seasons in the friend zone only to quickly flip the script just two episodes into Season 3. While Bridgerton set up the friends-to-lovers arc from the very beginning, Season 3 made way for the story to break free when Colin offers to help his “very good friend” learn the ways of wooing through various courting lessons so she can find a husband. But when their scheme is blown up after Eloise (Claudia Jessie) blabs at a ball, Penelope feels hopeless about her prospects, leading to one big ask from her bestie. Reasoning that she could die tomorrow and remain un-kissed, Penelope pleads with Colin to change that status, leading to a surprisingly sweet and poignant first kiss for the couple.

Warning: contains spoilers for Bridgerton season 2.
Of all the separations shown in Bridgerton’s second season, the finale bust-up between Penelope and Eloise was perhaps the most painful. The former best friends who grew up across the street from one another had once been book-loving accomplices. They’d found solace in each other’s company, away from the ribbons-and-marriage-filled heads of other girls their age. When Eloise told Pen that she never wished to see or speak to her again, they weren’t the only ones heartbroken about it.
That heartbreak continues in season three, the first four episodes of which are now streaming on Netflix, while the second half will follow on June 13. Months later, Pen and Eloise are still not speaking, while Pen is also keeping her distance from Eloise’s brother Colin, the man she secretly loves, after he unwittingly hurt her feelings at the Featherington ball.

Bridgerton Season 3 Part 1 Released Today and Here Is Our First Review! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
The third season of the popular Shondaland show is already upon us. Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton’s off-screen chemistry is off the charts and rightfully justifies Bridgerton Season 3’s buzz. While Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley are returning to the series, Phoebe Dynevor has said goodbye to the role.
The first part of the highly anticipated Bridgerton Season 3, with only four episodes, was released today. With Season 2 leaving us on such a big cliffhanger, Season 3 picks right off. It’s been only a week that Kate and Anthony have been back from the honeymoon, and another debut season is already casting a gloom on the ton. With a queen who is on the search for a new diamond and a wallflower ready to bloom, there is a lot at stake here. Will Mr. Bridgerton please stand up though?...

Falling for a TV show is not exactly like falling for a romantic relationship. But it’s not unlike it, either. There’s the initial flirtation, when you sample an episode or two to see how it strikes you. If all goes well, there’s the moment of commitment, when you decide to stick around to see the story play out. Then there’s the long haul: With each successive season, the series has the opportunity to deepen and mature — or to stagnate.
With its third outing (fourth if you count the spinoff Queen Charlotte), Netflix’s Bridgerton is no longer in the early days of its courtship with us, and unfortunately, it’s starting to show. While the latest chapter faithfully delivers on everything we’ve come to expect from this world — virginal heroine, rakish hero, high-society scandal, instrumental pop covers — it’s also the first in which the...

It’s been over two years since we last heard from Lady Whistledown (voiced by Julie Andrews), but that ends on May 16, when Part 1 of Bridgerton Season 3 arrives on Netflix. The first four episodes will begin to unfold the love story of one Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), aka “Polin,” perfect for springtime.
Penelope and Colin will step into the spotlight after hovering in the background of the love stories of Colin’s older siblings Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) in the first two seasons. While Season 2 followed Anthony’s enemies to lovers romance with one Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), it also unspooled some threads with Bridgerton siblings Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Eloise (Claudia Jessie).

Welcome back to the world of “Bridgerton,” the Netflix superhit that gets everyone invested in Regency-era romance by making it clear that the only way empire-waist gowns work is when they’re torn off by hereditary nobility.

Bridgerton‘s mere days away from returning for Season 3, and while fans eagerly await the glow-ups of Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin (Luke Newton), a.k.a. Polin, they should anticipate even more transformations in the latest chapter of Netflix‘s Shondaland hit. “It’s a bit terrifying coming back for Season 3 knowing that the story is your love story,” Coughlan shared in a Tudum video sneak peek shared by Shondaland.com. But costar Claudia Jessie, who plays Penelope’s best friend turned foe Eloise, is eager for people to see her pal’s onscreen transformation: “I’m excited for everybody to see Nicola Coughlan lead Season 3.” Liam Daniel/Netflix “Some of the characters this season have evolved into new looks, one being Penelope,” costume designer John Glaser revealed. According to showrunner Jess Brownell, “She is a butterfly emerging from her chrysalis this season.” But she isn’t the only one undergoing a transformation.

The Bridgertons
Scandal brushed the Bridgertons quite a bit in Season 2, between Anthony’s (Jonathan Bailey) broken engagement and Eloise’s (Claudia Jessie) tryst with a working class boy. Colin emerges as a surprising hero for sussing out the shady business of Jack Featherington (Rupert Young), but...

It's been a few months since From Season 2 Episode 10 came and went, with an ending so shocking, many fans are still recovering.
Since its debut, From has been nothing short of a thrilling mystery, with a gripping hook and an even better cast to tie everything together.
And while it's not known when the series will be back for its third season (though we do know they are currently filming!), that won't stop me from speculating about what could be in store for us when the series returns!
In case you need a little refresher about where things were left at the end of From Season 2, the mystery music box was finally destroyed by Boyd, and with it, Marielle, Randall, and Julie woke up.
The demise of the music box seemingly set the town right again. The cicada buzzing was no longer heard, and eyes were not rolled into the backs of heads.

It’s season finale time for networks, but Netflix, naturally, still has plenty of brand new TV and shows coming in May.
Jeff Daniels makes his TV return in the David E. Kelley series “A Man in Full.” That six-episode series is based on the bestselling book of the same name by Tom Wolfe. Per a press release: “When Atlanta real estate mogul Charlie Croker faces sudden bankruptcy, political and business interests collide as Charlie defends his empire from those attempting to capitalize on his fall from grace.” The series will also star Tom Pelphrey, Diane Lane, Lucy Liu, William Jackson Harper, Aml Ameen, Sarah Jones, Jon Michael Hill and Chanté Adams.
Additionally, comedy fans can get excited for a new special series from John Mulaney. The comedian is hosting a multi-night event, “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA,” that looks to be part interview show and part man-on-the-street hijinks.

With the Season 3 premiere of the highly-anticipated Bridgerton series quickly approaching, actress Claudia Jessie reveals that she was certain that she would be fired from playing Eloise Bridgerton on the Regency-era Netflix show. “Playing Eloise means I get to support my family and friends, which I never thought I’d be able to do,” Jessie told The Guardian. “But I was surprised I was cast. And I was absolutely petrified to step on set – I still get nervous. Even going back for season three, I thought I was going to be s**t, that they were going to fire me. It’s something that never goes away.” (Credit: Liam Daniel/Netflix) Jessie’s character Eloise is one of the eight Bridgerton siblings in the book-turned-television series. With each season of the show revolving around the love life of one of the siblings, and it is possible that Season 4 or a...
