Washington [US], May 3 : As the eagerly anticipated Season 3 of the hit Netflix series 'Bridgerton' approaches its premiere date, actor Luke Newton, who portrays Colin Bridgerton, has been diligently preparing for his leading role.
Drawing on the wisdom and guidance of his predecessors, Newton sought valuable advice from past series leading men, Rege-Jean Page and Jonathan Bailey, reported Deadline.
Newton appeared in an interview and revealed some of the insights he received from Page, who portrayed the charismatic Simon, the Duke of Hastings, in the series' debut season.
Page's advice to Newton was straightforward yet essential, "go on a big holiday before all the madness starts."
Newton reminisced about Page's supportive gesture, recalling how the former leading man embraced him and asked, "Are you ready for this, bro?"
While Page bid farewell to 'Bridgerton' after Season 1, Bailey continued to play a pivotal role in the series, leading Season 2 as Anthony Bridgerton.
Newton expressed gratitude for Bailey's consistent support, noting that Bailey has been a guiding presence throughout his journey, as per the interview obtained by Deadline.
Reflecting on Bailey's influence, Newton remarked, "We talk all the time, and it was really nice in season 2 seeing how he conducted himself on set, knowing that I'd be next."
As Newton gears up to portray Colin's romantic journey with Penelope Featherington, portrayed by Nicola Coughlan, in Season 3, the actor credits the advice and examples set by Page and Bailey for helping him navigate the complexities of his role.
Season 3 of 'Bridgerton' is set to premiere its first four episodes on May 14, with the remaining episodes airing on June 13 on Netflix.
Fans eager to catch up on the series can stream Seasons 1 and 2, as well as the spinoff, 'Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,' available on the streaming giant.
