At 0700 Pacific Time on Valentine's Day, a virtual event will be held for Bridgerton Season 3. The event includes numerous members of the cast, as well as Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes, Influencer Cat Quinn is also going to be in attendance.
So, what might we expect from this event? In order to gain a clue we can look back at the virtual fan event that was held for season 2 on Valentine's Day 2022.
As with this event, the season 2 event required pre-registration, with the number of places filling quickly and registration closing within hours of opening.
The season 2 event had four cast members - Simone Ashley (the season 2 lead), Charithra Chandra, Nicola Coughlan, and Golda Rosheveul, along with Julia Quinn, and it was moderated by Netflix Tudum writer Ariana Romero. The cast responded to questions about the season and their characters, but also three short clips were shown in addition to the clips, the teaser poster and teaser trailer were also released. It should be noted that a couple of days before the event several new stills were also released.
Taking into account that season 3 - unlike season 1 and season 2 - is split into two, I expect there will be less stills made available up to the release on 16 May, as they will only be wanting to release stills from Part 1 (episodes 1-4) and whilst there may be some more stills released this week I am not expecting it, however, I do think that the season 2 event can give us an indication for the virtual fan event this week.
At the fan event for season 2 the final thing to see was the 1 minute teaser trailer, and I do think that we will get a short 1 minute teaser trailer for season 2, part 1, at the fan event. But I don't think this is all we will be getting.
At the event for season 2 three additional scenes from episode one were released. The first scene was the one with Kate, Edwina, Lady Mary and Lady Danbury entering the Conservatory Ball, and Kate saying she wasn't looking for a match. The second scene was the one of Penelope and Eloise in the daffodil field talking about the pressures of being out in society. The third scene was the one of Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury talking about Lady Whistledown ahead of the presentation of the debutantes.
For the season 3 event, I think it is possible we could get 3 additional scenes, but what will be is hard to say. If I were to guess I would suggest, one of Peneloise, maybe one of the Bridgertons - possibly involving Benedict or Francesca, or maybe Kate, and possibly one of Queen Charlotte.
The season 2 teaser poster was released at the fan event, however, I don't think we will get a poster for season 3 this week as the teaser poster has already been released, but never say never, it could still happen with the main poster (and book cover) being released.
There is of course one more thing that we could get along with a teaser trailer - or instead of the teaser trailer, and that is a Season 1 and Season 2 recap, similar to the recap done for Season 1 ahead of the Season 2 release. This is a long shot in my opinion, as the Season 1 recap was released about a week before the release of Season 2, so I would expect any recaps to be released around a week ahead of the release of Part 1.
What do you think we will get for the event on Valentine's Day? Do you have low expectations, or are you excited and think there will be a lot of content released?
Note: As of writing this, 11 days after the registration opened, guests are still able to register to attend, if you want to try for a place.
