But with the show on the brink of exploring said love story, I’m cautioning the writers to tread carefully in how they deviate from the books, and what they keep the same, lest they break the beating heart of Bridgerton. The series has made clever changes from page to screen to establish Penelope as the true main character early on - most notably revealing she’s Lady Whistledown in Season 1, rather than waiting until Book 4, when her love story is front and center. Her story is an exciting tale of changing friendships, alter egos, escape from a toxic family, and because it’s Bridgerton, quite a bit of sex.īased on what the show has set up so far, and given Bridgerton’s renewal through at least Season 4, Pen has the potential to have the most satisfying Bridgerton character arc of all. Throughout the series, she’s always watching, writing, and dreaming, even as she believes she’ll never get her own happily ever after. Everyone comes and goes, except for Penelope Featherington. She’s already left her mark on screen, but as a fan of Julia Quinn’s eight-novel Bridgerton book series, the show’s spicy source material, I know there’s so much more in store for her.Įach Bridgerton novel follows one of the eight Bridgertons as they meet their match, fall in love, and fade into the background, leaving the next sibling to their own devices for their own story. While most eyes and ears may have been on Anthony and Kate’s longing looks, sexy whispers, and that time he saw her bare knee, I found myself more interested in the B-plot surrounding Lady Whistledown herself, Penelope Featherington. Is that an instrumental arrangement of a modern pop song I hear? Yep, Bridgerton is back for Season 2.
