#Newton bridgerton series#
Following its release on March 25, the steamy Regency series amassed a total of 251.7 million viewing hours across its first seven days, making it the most-watched English-language TV series in Netflix's history.Īnd while fans were left swooning over Anthony Bridgerton's (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma's (Simone Ashley) slow burn romance, followers of the hit series were still enthralled with another pair - Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). Join us by checking them out ahead.Bridgerton has smashed another record after season two of the period drama dropped on Netflix. While we wait to see Penelope and Colin's relationship evolve from friends to lovers on season three of "Bridgerton," we'll be fawning over all the sweet photos Coughlan and Newton have shared on Instagram through the years, and the red carpet moments we've gotten of them. And we were just like peeing ourselves with laughter, 'cause you just have to, like, look into each other's eyes and we were like, 'Oh god.'"
I have to kiss my friend."Ĭontinued Coughlan, "Oh my god, there was one day where we had to sort of do like a very romantic, beautifully written romantic scene. We were like, 'Imagine if we have to kiss and do this.' And then season three come on and we were like, 'Oh god,' and then it's like, it's my friend. Coughlan told Entertainment Tonight in a June interview, "Luke and I read the books at the beginning of season 1, and it was funny to us. But also it really warms me."Īdmittedly, though, that real-life friendship did make fiming a bit awkward, at points. "There's so much love for that relationship, which brings its pressures because there are people that are really excited about this story to come to the forefront. "I love Polin," he told TUDUM, admitting that he often browses through the Polin hashtag on social media. I have such trust in Luke, and I hope he has it in me to go forward on it." Newton, for one, is quite fond of representing one half of such a beloved fictional pair. Referencing the racy scenes she and Newton shot for season three, Coughlan told Netflix's TUDUM, "I couldn't ask for a better partner to go into this with. It's clear they deeply care about their characters and enjoy a genuine offscreen bond, as much of the "Bridgerton" cast does when the cameras stop rolling.Ĭoughlan and Newton also find ways to praise one another in interviews.
But thanks to the close friendship they've formed through the years, we're confident they're more than capable of filling 'em - we just wish we knew when we'll get to see that chemistry in action (attention, Netflix).Įver since meeting on set three years ago, Coughlan and Newton have delighted fans with numerous selfies on social media, often referencing their onscreen couple nickname, Polin (a combination of Penelope and Colin). Following in the footsteps of Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page playing Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset, and Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey playing Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton, the actors have big shoes to fill as the third duo serving up steamy romance on the Regency-era drama. It's the talk of the town: Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton are taking center stage to portray Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton's love story in "Bridgerton" season three.
