When "Bridgerton" season 3 makes its much-awaited return to Netflix on May 16, fans of the Regency-era series will see plenty of familiar faces, including this season's romantic leads Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). But along with all of the returning characters to the Ton — like Colin's many siblings , Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley), Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh), Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) and the like — there will be a few fresh faces thrown in the mix. Among the newcomers introduced this season is Daniel Francis as Marcus Anderson, “a charismatic presence who lights up any room he enters, attracting the notice of certain matriarchs in the town — and the ire of others,” per Deadline .
In preview clips and official stills from the upcoming episodes, we see Mr. Anderson interacting with both Andoh's Lady Danbury as well as her good friend Violet Bridgerton (played by Ruth Gemmell). Does this spell jealousy between the besties? As Francis told Shondaland , love is definitely on the gentleman's mind.
"He hasn’t been in the ton, in London; he’s been in the countryside. Sadly, his wife passed away, and now he’s in his second chapter, as it were. He’s come back to .
.. well, it’s lonely in the countryside," the actor said.
"In all honesty, he’s come back to the ton to find love. His first marriage wasn’t a love match, and now he’s doing it for himself.” A post shared by Bridgerton (@bridgertonnetflix) A phot.
