After Chris Van Dusen's departure as the showrunner of "Bridgerton," Jess Brownell accepted the challenge to step into the role. Harnessing the momentum of the globally popular franchise, Brownell navigated Season 3's plot twists, focusing on the friends-to-lovers dynamic between Colin and Penelope. As pressure mounted to rise to the occasion, Brownell drew inspiration from romantic classics like "Notting Hill" and "She's All That." The season's split format allowed for moments of tension to build, leading to surprises and intimate revelations. The addition of original songs, like Tori Kelly's "All I Want," added emotional depth to key scenes. Looking ahead to Season 4, Brownell hints at a shift in setting, teasing viewers with a taste of fall in a world of perpetual spring. With fan-favorite characters like Francesca and Penelope evolving, and romantic themes explored, "Bridgerton" continues to captivate audiences with its innovative storytelling and fresh takes on classic romance tropes.
