'Bridgerton' Season 3 Introduces Three New Men to the 'Ton

Bridgerton Season 3 is getting underway, and it is apparently "Polin" season as the 'ton returns to London for another round of the marriage mart. The Netflix series based on the Julia Quinn novels has thrown aside any pretense of following the books as it grows in viewership and popularity, wisely skipping over Benedict's romance wholesale to give the people what they want: Colin and Penelope taking center stage.

But just because this London season will not introduce yet another newcomer (or longtime absent singleton) to the London scene for yet another Bridgerton sibling to fall head over heels with does not mean the series cast won't expand to include new faces. Daphne and Anthony are married off, and Colin may be preparing for his inevitable nuptials to someone living across the street. However, the rest of the family still have relationships to form that won't work out, setting them up for their ultimate fated mate.

The show introduces three bachelors for Season 3: Sam Phillips (The Crown) plays Lord Debling, a genial lord with eccentricities, but the wealth and title to excuse them. James Phoon (Wreck) plays Harry Dankworth; so pretty it almost obscures his lack of personality. And Daniel Francis (Small Axe) plays Marcus Anderson, an older single gentleman and charismatic presence who some windowed mamas might start eyeing. Will they catch the eye of Bridgerton sisters Eloise and Francesca, Bridgerton sister-in-law Edwina, or hell, even Benedict?
