Bridgerton will soon be returning for its third outing so who is going to be joining the romantic drama for part one? The wait is almost over with the love story between Colin Bridgerton

(played by Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) ready to unfold. As well as these two lead stars, a number of other new additions will be making their debut in Netflix’s

hit show following a two-year wait. WHO WILL BE JOINING THE CAST OF BRIDGERTON SEASON 3 PART 1?  FRANCESCA BRIDGERTON - HANNAH DODD Francesca hasn’t often been seen in seasons one and two,

with her absence usually explained by her being out of the country practicing piano. But her love for music is to take a backseat as she is next to marry following her older brother Colin,

although, it may prove difficult given she is a lot more reserved than her siblings. READ MORE: BRIDGERTON STAR CLAIMS WORLD IS ‘MORE JUDGEMENTAL TO WOMEN’ NOW THAN IN 1800S When Francesca

has appeared in Bridgerton, she was played by actress Ruby Stokes who left the show to star in Netflix’s Lockwood & Co. Instead, Hannah Dodd will be portraying Francesca, having

previously played young Sophie in Anatomy Of A Scandal and Sarah Chapman in Enola Holmes 2. LORD DEBLING - SAM PHILLIPS  Lord Debling is going to be a potential suitor for Penn, showing

interest in the Lady Whistledown writer early on in the series. Deadline states that while he has “unusual interests”, “with wealth and a noble title to back up his eccentricities, he’ll

have no shortage of interest from young ladies this season”. Lord Debling is played by actor Sam Phillips who is probably best recognised as the Queen’s Equerry in Netflix’s The Crown. Some

of his other roles have been in This Is England, Grantchester, Father Brown and Embers. Speaking of Lord Ebling’s interest in Penn, actress Couglan told Netflix: “It was really fun for

Penelope to have a suitor, I was so excited for it. About damn time! “What is really sweet about their story is that he does give her confidence in herself. “He shows her that she’s worthy

of love and helps her to believe that.” MARCUS ANDERSON - DANIEL FRANCIS  Described as a “charismatic presence who lights up any room he enters”, Marcus Anderson does attract attention when

he comes to town. Little is known about him ahead of season three but scenes have been shown of him with both Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) and Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell). Actor Daniel

Francis has been in Apple TV+’s Liaison, Netflix’s Stay Close, as well as Small Axe and Once Upon A Time. LADY TILLEY ARNOLD - HANNAH NEW Also set to join the fold is Lady Tilley Arnold who

is a "firebrand widow" who "enjoys the privileges and power that come with being at the helm of her late husband's estate". As of yet, it isn't know how her

story is going to play out but she has been spotted filming with Benedict Bridgerton star Luke Thompson. Actress Hannah New will be remembered as Eleanor Guthrie in Black Sails and Rosalinda

Fox in The Time In Between. _BRIDGERTON SEASON 3 PREMIERES ON THURSDAY, MAY 16, ON NETFLIX._
