season of the Shonda Rhimes produced show has followed a different sibling in the Bridgerton family as they find love in Regency era London high society – all while navigating a “Gossip Girl” type rumor mill, spearheaded by the writings of Lady Whistledown (who is secretly Penelope). Season 3 begins with the “spinster” Penelope determined to find a husband, in part to escape her doltish family.
