Every Main Character and Actor in Bridgerton Season 3

Nicola Coughlan - Penelope Featherington

After playing a supporting role in the first two seasons, Nicola Coughlan's Penelope Featherington is thrust into the romantic spotlight in Season 3. The series turns its eye to the romantic connection between Penelope - the youngest of the Featherington clan - and Luke Newton's Colin Bridgerton.

Following on from Colin's spur-of-the-moment proposal, Part 2 of Season 3 sees the pair's relationship tested when Newton's character learns of Penelope's alter ego, Lady Whistledown.

The trouble doesn't stop there regarding the persona though, as Cressida attempts to co-opt the myth around Lady Whistledown for her own benefit, blackmailing Penelope and even trying to take the title as her own.

Coughlan will be familiar to fans for her work in Seasons 1 and 2 of Bridgerton along with popular roles in Derry Girls and Harlots.
