Each season focuses on a different Bridgerton sibling as they search for love.
Simone Ashley, who plays Kate Sharma in the upcoming second season, recently shared some insights into her preparation for the show’s steamy s** scenes and teased what fans can expect from the third season.
Despite being set in a more conservative time, Bridgerton features several intense and steamy s** scenes that require months of planning to create.

While the first season showcased a lot of intimacy between Daphne (played by Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon (played by Regé Jean-Page), things were more reserved between Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate.
Ashley, who had to prepare for her own intimate scenes, mentioned how thrilled she was to represent a dark-skinned Indian woman in a way that’s not conservative or taboo.
She emphasized the importance of confidence and preparation, saying, “It’s a lot, gearing up for that every day and making sure you have enough sleep, doing whatever you have to do to make you feel ready.
I felt very safe.
I felt very protected.”
Ashley also praised her co-star, Jonathan Bailey, for being an excellent partner throughout the filming process.
As for the third season, Ashley teased that it’s going to be “condensation central,” indicating that things are going to get steamier.
The upcoming season will focus on the romance between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
Ashley expressed excitement about the scripts, saying, “I’m very happy when I’m reading the scripts.
When I receive them, I’ve got a beaming smile on my face.”
She added that the season is full of “Polin, love, and new beginnings.”
Fans have already been given a glimpse of what’s to come in the third season.
According to Deadline, Penelope will try to find a husband who respects her independence so she can continue her double life as Lady Whistledown.
Colin, on the other hand, is back from his summer travels and disheartened to receive Penelope’s cold shoulder.
He decides to help her boost her confidence to attract the perfect husband and win back her friendship.
In conclusion, Bridgerton has taken the world by storm with its captivating storyline, stunning costumes, and steamy romance scenes.
Simone Ashley’s insights into her preparation for the show’s intimate scenes and her enthusiasm about the upcoming third season have left fans eager for more.
