“Bridgerton” is officially back.
The smash-hit period drama has begun filming Season 3 in London with several familiar faces returning and three new cast members.
Daniel Francis, a classically trained actor known for his role as Dave Shaw in the Netflix thriller “Stay Close,” will play Marcus Anderson.
Sam Phillips, a theater and TV actor who previously appeared on Netflix’s “The Crown,” will play Lord Debling.
James Phoon, who is relatively new on the acting scene, rounds out the list of newbies. He’ll play Harry Dankworth, a character who “lacks” wit and intelligence, but more than makes up for it with his “serious good looks.”
The bigger focus of Season 3 will be on returning cast members Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton, who play Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, respectively.
The duo who have seemingly settled into their stardom gave a glimpse into their excitement for the new season in a teaser filmed on set of the Regency romance series.
Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan, seen here as Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, will play the leads in Season 3.
“‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 filming has officially begun,” Coughlan, 35, says in the clip from inside a carriage, while sporting a beautiful updo typically worn in the 1800s and a modern hoodie.
Newton, 29, with his hair perfectly coiffed and wearing a T-shirt and sunnies, then adds, “Let’s go,” before climbing into the carriage himself.

According to Netflix, Penelope has given up on her long-held crush on Colin in Season 3 after “hearing his disparaging words about her last season.”
As a result, the profound writer has “decided it’s time to take a husband” who will “provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown.”
Meanwhile, Colin has “returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger,” but is “disheartened” by Penelope’s “cold shoulder.”
Executive producer Shonda Rhimes previously said each season will focus on a new member of the Bridgerton family.
In an effort to win back her friendship, the eligible bachelor offers to help her find a husband — but begins to fall for her in the process, causing him to “grapple” with whether his feelings are “truly just friendly” or more, per Netflix.
Season 3 will also see the return of Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie), Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh), Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel), Lady Portia Featherington (Polly Walker) and Lady Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell), among others.
