Bridgerton third season previews: Lady Whistledown changes
From Bridgerton’s third season, expect an even fiercer Lady Whistledown. Her identity has been compromised by Eloise, but Penelope in the new episodes will have the chance to finally get closer to Colin. How can these two realities coexist?
Bridgerton changed plans. The third season will no longer tell Benoît’s love story, as it would have done following the chronological order of Julia Quinn’s novels. In its place takes place – finally – the love story between Colin and Penelope. Since the first season, their friendship has accompanied the narrative in the background, but the time has come to give them more space. And that’s why Shondaland turned things around. But, with such sentimental exposure, how will Lady Whistledown’s approach change?
Penelope’s alter ego has a habit of hurting the English aristocracy with her sharp pen and hasn’t pushed anyone aside, not even her best friend Eloise. The young girl, once she discovered the double game, ended her friendship with Penelope by cutting her out of his life. A rather clear but painful position. But what impact will these choices have on Lady Whistledown in Season 3?
Bridgerton, the third season will feature a new version of Lady Whistledown
Ever since the first episode, Lady Whistledown has made it clear that she’s not going to make life easy for anyone, let alone Queen Charlotte. But, towards the end of the first season, the show already revealed the identity of the tabloid reporter, allowing audiences to take a behind-the-scenes look at Penelope Featherington’s alter ego. Indeed, in the second season, the red-haired girl showed how she managed to publish her poisonous articles without being discovered. A difficult undertaking, considering that her best friend Eloise has always tried to unmask her, without knowing that she has always had her by her side.
But the disenchantment collapses at the end of the second season. Eloise pooled her suspicions and came to the right conclusion: Lady Whistledown was always within reach. Finding out that it was Penelope who had repeatedly tarnished her family and flaunted her friendship with Theo in the newspaper was too much to bear. With the arrival of the third season, the footprint of Lady Whistledown will be even more marked. The reporter will also step in to protect Penelope and Colin’s relationship.
Ready to do anything to preserve this fragile love, Penelope will need all the help she can get and there she is, Whistledown becoming even more ruthless, sometimes cruel. The power in his hands will have an even more obvious weight, but it is undermined by the discovery of Eloise. What will stop Bridgerton from confessing the truth to his brother? And what will Penelope do to stop it?
