Bridgerton's Penelope Actor Hypes Season 3 As Show's New Lead Character
Nicola Coughlan teases her return as Penelope Featherington in Bridgerton season 3. The 35-year-old actress, also known for her role as Clare Devlin in the comedy series Derry Girls, has featured in the acclaimed Netflix series since 2020. Though initially perceived as a minor character during season 1, Penelope’s role in Bridgerton has grown steadily more significant after her outing as Lady Whistledown both to the viewership and to her friend Eloise Bridgerton (played by Claudia Jessie) in season 2.
