This assertion has deeply disappointed fans (alongside breaking Penelope's heart), with Bridgerton audiences desperate to see the pair become an item in future seasons of the Netflix series. Yet despite the pair's apparent romantic progress, Bridgerton season 2 ends on a sour note for the couple, with Penelope overhearing Colin saying he would " never court" her to his assembled friends.

The first shoots of this romantic feeling are more than reciprocated, with Penelope harboring a long and deep-seated attraction to Colin across the two Bridgerton seasons to date.

One such narrative thread is the burgeoning romance between Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan), with the third Bridgerton son beginning to see his long-time friend in a different light.
