This Bridgerton Season 3 Theory Makes It Way Better for Anthony Fans
They couldn't, could they…?
Bridgerton Season 3 will be Penelope's season. And after she ran off in tears after hearing Colin dismiss the idea of courting her, it could be a very interesting season indeed.
The first question, of course, is whether this whispered conversation will make it to print. But some fans of the show are anticipating another twist to the tale.
A recent Reddit discussion focused on whether something might happen between Penelope and Anthony - or how he might react to finding out what Colin said. And while it seems unlikely, given that the two have barely had a relationship on the show, the theory does make a modicum of sense.
At the same time as Penelope was eavesdropping on Colin's conversation, Anthony was desperately looking for Kate. But he did notice Penelope as she ran away crying - leading some to believe that this was setting up a new romance for Season 3.
Some believe there is no truth to this theory, as Anthony was 'too caught up in his own head seeking out Kate' to really notice Penelope.
Most seem to agree that he was 'too far away to hear what Colin said,' so there is no reason for Anthony to feel sorry for Penelope or believe she has been hurt. But there is always the chance that he will let slip that he saw her crying at the Featheringtons' ball. Or he might have a chance encounter with Penelope when she is crying again and feel the need to talk to her or comfort her.
Of course, this could all be pie in the sky, based on the knowledge that Season 3 is Penelope's story and that Anthony is the head of the family. But equally, the snippet of Anthony glancing over to where Penelope is running could be, as one Redditor put it, an example of Bridgerton '(leaving) details to set up the next season.'
If true, Anthony fans will be over the moon. Whatever the nature of his relationship with Penelope, whether it's purely platonic, a questionable romance or simply her finding a new (unrequited) crush, it would definitely mean plenty of screen time for Anthony.
Filming for Season 3 wrapped in March 2023, and it usually takes around 6 months from then for a show to hit our screens. This would fit in with the release of dramas in the autumn and winter, when everyone is back from holiday and looking for entertainment on TV and streaming services. So it could be as little as 3 months before we learn what Season 3 has in store for us.
