It has been reported that production on the third season of Bridgerton has been halted because the scriptwriter is not “comfortable” with the direction the story is going in the midst of a “very dark” narrative. The reason for this has been given as the reason for the halt in production.
Since the year 2020, when it was originally released, it is realistic to assume that the series that is available on Netflix has been a huge hit all over the world. With the premiere of the show’s second season earlier this year, it made a triumphant return to our screens after an absence of several years.
The love story of Penelope Featherington, also known as Lady Whistledown, portrayed by Nicola Coughlan, and Colin Bridgerton, portrayed by Luke Newton, who is the third eldest child in his family, will be chronicled in the third instalment of the series. Colin Bridgerton is the third child in his family to reach the age of adulthood.
Nevertheless, it has been asserted that a particular plot required some changes to be made to it in order to accommodate the fact that executive producer Shonda Rhimes was allegedly “not happy” with “some components” of the season.
‘Filming has been delayed due to the screenwriter not being happy with the direction of it,’ a source told The Mail on Sunday.
‘We have been told that it needs the fun back so there are changes, which of course means delays. One thing is for sure though, the production team want to get it right for Bridgerton fans so they enjoy it as much as they have in the past.’
The source added that ‘there are some elements that Shonda is just not happy with so wants to change them’, explaining that ‘some of it got very dark’.
After viewers of Bridgerton noticed that there were fewer sizzling sex scenes in the second instalment than they expected, the star of the show, Adjoa Andoh, provided a sneak peek at what fans can anticipate from season three in October of this year.
At the Pride of Britain Awards, the actor who plays Lady Danbury stated, “It’s season three so there will be lots of stuff you’re familiar with.” [T]he show is currently airing its third season.
She continued: ‘There will be the next Bridgerton child, in this case Colin, and we’ll find out what his romantic outworkings are, there’ll be a bit of How’s Your Father, no doubt, there’ll be some lovely frocks, there’ll be some lovely locations.
‘I will have some trouble that comes at me in surprising ways, and it’ll be more of the same, but with surprises. It’s got extra glam to it this season, I would say.’
Adjoa also hinted at how the new episodes will shake things up and change the status quo, stating: ‘Some of the structures that we’ve got for the storytelling we’ve got this season are slightly different and slightly new and that’s refreshing.’
Bridgerton is available to watch on Netflix.
