Hold onto your tiaras, “Bridgerton” fans, because we’re about to spill the tea on Season 3! While the series is known for its lavish balls, scandalous romances, and enough side-eye glances to fuel a thousand gossip columns, the behind-the-scenes action is surprisingly…well, hilarious! Who knew that beneath the corsets and cravats resided a cast with the playful energy of schoolchildren let loose on a sugar high?
First up, let’s talk about the Bridgertons, the ton’s most sought-after (and occasionally scandalous) siblings.
Just try to watch footage of Jonathan Bailey, the charming yet mischievous Anthony Bridgerton, without cracking a smile. Whether he's letting out a perfectly timed fart noise (real or imagined, we’ll never know!) or engaging in playful banter with his on-screen siblings, it’s clear that this is one cast that genuinely enjoys each other’s company.
And then there's Hannah Dodd, the newest addition to the family as the effervescent Francesca Bridgerton.
“It's like one big, slightly dysfunctional family reunion,” Hannah shared in a recent interview. “We laugh, we prank each other, we occasionally break out into impromptu dances…it’s never dull!”
Speaking of dancing, it seems that no “Bridgerton” behind-the-scenes compilation is complete without footage of Nicola Coughlan (our beloved Penelope Featherington) and Claudia Jessie (the ever-spirited Eloise Bridgerton) showing off their moves.
But it’s Nicola and Luke Newton (Colin Bridgerton, aka Penelope's longtime crush) who truly steal the show with their playful dynamic, often spilling over into hilarious prank wars. Who could forget the now-infamous "Cougartown" incident? Nicola, discovering Luke’s past life as a member of a boy band with a truly cringe-worthy song on YouTube, conspired with the crew to play it during a “serious” scene, much to Luke's mortification.
“I thought I had escaped my past,” Luke joked in a later interview, his ears turning red at the memory. “But Nicola clearly has other plans!”
Of course, Luke, never one to back down from a challenge, retaliated with a prank of his own, leading to a hilarious back-and-forth that has fans shipping their off-screen friendship just as much as their on-screen romance.
These glimpses into the world of “Bridgerton” beyond the scripts and the costumes reveal a cast that genuinely enjoys working together, their camaraderie and affection radiating off the screen. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most entertaining stories are the ones unfolding when the cameras aren't rolling. And who knows? Maybe those impromptu dance-offs and playful pranks will inspire a few new storylines in seasons to come!
