Bridgerton Theory Suggests We're Getting Release Date Confirmation Soon
Could the Polin season be delayed?
If there's one thing all Bridgerton fans could wish for and get right now, it would be a Season 3 release date. It has been 16 long months since Season 2 premiered, so people are itching to dive back into Shondaland's Regency-era London — especially since the upcoming episodes are set to focus on the romantic story between beloved characters Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, aka Polin.
However, neither Shondaland nor Netflix seem to be in a hurry to reveal when the Polin season will finally hit our screens. Thank goodness we have Netflix Portugal, who gave hope to millions of fans when they accidentally announced December 14 as the premiere date for Season 3 while sharing images from Tudum on their social media posts (later edited).
Ever since, the December 14 release date has been the most popular theory among fans. And if it's true, we can expect an official announcement of the Season 3 premiere between mid-September and early October. Well, at least this is what one of the fans on Reddit has worked out.
According to the fan's theory, Netflix has a pattern of announcing release dates for their flagship shows. They usually do it about 60–90 days before the premiere. For example, Bridgerton Season 2 landed on the platform on March 25, 2022, and was announced exactly three months earlier on December 25, 2021.
The Bridgerton spin-off, Queen Charlotte, was officially announced on a nice date, February 14, 2023, with the show coming out 79 days later, on May 4. If this pattern holds, the Polin season is set to air on December 14, and the official announcement should come any day between September 14 and mid-October.
Since the show's promotional campaigns seem to revolve around the numbers 14 and 25, the most plausible dates for the announcement would be September 14 or 25, both of which are just a few weeks away.
There's no need to delve deep into these calculations and theories. The most important conclusion from them would be that if Netflix doesn't make the release date of Season 3 known in the next few weeks, we are in big trouble. The Polin story could be up for a delay.
