Here's where you might recognize the 'Bridgerton' season 3 cast from

Luke Newton returns as Colin Bridgerton.

Newton reprises his role as Colin, the third eldest sibling of the Bridgerton family.

Newton reprises his role as the dashing Bridgerton. It is his most prominent role, but fans may recognize the actor from his roles in Disney's "The Lodge" series or "The Cut."

Nicola Coughlan returns as Penelope Featherington.

Penelope Featherington, played by Coughlan, is the youngest daughter of the Featherington family. The Featheringtons live across the street from the Bridgertons and are close friends of the family.

Coughlan is known for starring in TV comedies such as "Derry Girls" and "Big Mood." However, she's also had some big screen roles, like a small part in 2023's "Barbie."

Hannah Dodd joins the cast as Francesca Bridgerton.

Francesca Bridgerton is the sixth Bridgerton sibling who has appeared on the show before. But Dodd is a new face; her character was often away from the family home and when she did appear, she was played by a different actor, Ruby Stokes, in previous seasons.

Stokes left the role after season two to star in another Netflix series, "Lockwood & Co." Dodd was cast to portray Francesca for future seasons.

Dodd has previously appeared in Netflix's miniseries "Anatomy of a Scandal," Marvel's "Eternals," "Fighting with My Family," and "Enola Holmes 2."

Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley return as Anthony and Kate Bridgerton.

Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma were the leading couple of season two, and return in season three as husband and wife.

Before "Bridgerton," Bailey had appeared in British shows like "Doctor Who" and "Crashing." Since his success on the hit Netflix show, he has starred in more American projects like "Fellow Travelers" and the upcoming "Wicked" movie.

Fans will likely recognize Ashley from the hit Netflix British show "Sex Education," where she played popular high-schooler Olivia. Ashley has also appeared in "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu" and last year's live-action reboot of "The Little Mermaid."

Several of Anthony, Colin, and Francesca's siblings — Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), Benedict (Luke Thompson), Gregory (Will Tilston), and Hyacinth (Florence Hunt) — all return in season three along with their mother, Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell). The only absent sibling is Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor).

"Bridgerton" is the biggest role for many of the actors who portray the Bridgerton family. Some "Dunkirk" fans may recognize Thompson since he was a background actor in the Christopher Nolan movie.

Jessie and Gemmell have appeared in several popular British series, including "Doctor Who," "Line of Duty," "Eastenders," and "Tracy Beaker."

"Bridgerton" was the second role for Tilston and Hunt, who play the youngest Bridgertons. Hunt starred in "Cursed" in 2020, and Tilston appeared in "Goodbye Christoper Robin" in 2017.

Polly Walker returns as Lady Featherington.

Lady Portia Featherington is the matriarch of the Featherington family who consistently devises schemes to ensure her family's success.

Walker has been acting for years on TV and movies. Fans may recognize her from her appearances in Gwyneth Paltrow's "Emma," "Clash of the Titans," or "John Carter."

Victor Alli plays John Stirling, a new member of London's high society. He's also referred to as Lord Kilmartin.

John Stirling, the Earl of Kilmartin, is a new character in season three and is Francesca Bridgerton's love interest.

"Bridgerton" is Alli's biggest role to date. But before this, he's had small roles in "Andor," "Belfast," and "Death on the Nile."

Daniel Francis plays Lord Marcus Anderson, a character who doesn't appear in the books.

Lord Marcus Anderson, played by Francis, is a member of the Ton, London's high society. He first appears in "Bridgerton" season three, episode two, as the brother of fan-favorite character Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh).

Sam Phillips plays Lord Debling, a potential love interest for Penelope.

Lord Debling is a newly created character in the TV series, played by Sam Phillips. He's a suitor for Penelope.

Phillips has appeared in another big British hit series on Netflix, "The Crown." He played the Queen's equerry in seasons three and four.

Hannah New plays Lady Tilley Arnold, a mysterious new Ton member.

Lady Tilley Arnold first appears in "Bridgerton" season three, episode two, as a new love interest for Benedict Bridgerton.
