The upcoming season will adapt the fourth book in the Bridgerton series, Romancing Mister Bridgerton, and focus on the love story between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton . However, their path to romance won't be easy, and Colin will have to deal with another suitor pursuing Penelope, Sam Phillips' Lord Debling.
Who Is Penelope's New Suitor in Bridgerton Season 3? In its official description for Bridgerton season 3, Netflix revealed that Colin will help Penelope with her quest to find a husband. Along the way, he'll realize he might have romantic feelings for her himself. As a suitor for Penelope, Lord Debling will likely play a role in this discovery, with the competition pushing Colin to recognize his true feelings for his longtime friend.
Phillips has described Debling as "an outsider," suggesting he's drawn to Penelope because, socially, she's in a similar position. According to Phillips, Debling "loves wildlife" and is a conservationist and vegetarian. With the Bridgerton family far from outsiders in the ton, Lord Debling may offer Penelope a shared perspective she won't get from Colin.
